This was the best horror movie evr. do think halloween got more appreciation when this was much more terrifying. Leatherface is a relentless running killer you have to force urself to get vaway from. you csn judt jog away from michael myers. This is one of the best movies ever made. in my opinion the best classi there is.
This movie is amazing. The 2nd is just... stupid. The 3rd is good. The Next Generation is also... stupid. This is one of the greatest movies ever made.
My favourite TCM film-while the 2nd & 3rd are very good,they are not a patch on this one in superiority. From the fantastic performances of Jim Siedow,Ed Neal,Paul Partain & Marilyn Burns to Gunnar's stark portrayal of the dumb cannibalistic killer who you never quite know what he's thinking or feeling-this is a pure horror masterpiece! It shows that a minimal budget does not mean minimal shocks. After all these years the buzz remains strong,severe & still has the capacity to send shivers through me. The sound score &luna/solar visuals are very intensely strong too. I am not easily impressed so Tobe Hooper must have done something right.
'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' is THE watershed horror film. Everything from the documentary feel to the claustrophobia created inside the crazed family's farmhouse, this film fires on all horrifying cylinders relentlessly until the credits roll. Director Tobe Hooper created a cinematic masterpiece, and Gunnar Hansen created a horror icon unmatched by any other actor to try and don the persona of Leatherface. This film makes all of the subsequent 'Chainsaw' movies pale and whither up in comparison. One of my favorite movies of all-time.
