Overrated much?

I seriously don't get why this is being called a "classic"!?, it's not, it's really slow and predictable, it's a total waste of time. It's exactly like those never ending Friday 13th sequels, they never would end and they were all the same.

I just don't get what's so great about this, there is no story to it, just a bunch of kids in a deserted place and they pretty much all get kil... read more

Sick and disturbing. Yet it is way superior to modern slashers. I actually don't care about slashers at all, watching people cutting each other to pieces is horrible but what is even more horrifying is the utter stupidity of the characters. At some point you, disturbingly, want everyone dead because they just don't deserve anything else. There was some of that here but not as much as I thought. Al... read more

As someone whom is often very frustrated with most horror flicks, I was very pleased that this movie's plotline came off as very genuine. While most horrors tend to want the viewer say things to the screen like "Idiot! Run outside, not to the upstairs!" or "Don't go in there, you moron!", this movie actually made the situation of the onscreen victims seem logistically believable. Therefor,... read more

20 From 74: My Favorite Films Of 1974 (20 movies items)

"To say that the Leatherface clan is the type of family you would want as neighbors is quite obviously, about as an understatement as it gets. If anybody in this household (particularly, the one wears a mask of that gives this clan their namesake) ever wants to borrow any of your tools (particularly any that you have to yank to get started), don't expect to ever see it again. As someone whom is often very frustrated with most horror flicks, I was very pleased that this movie's plotline came "

Movie Reviews (part 7) (50 movies items)

" The Ups:Realistic style with believable acting and a story that feels truthful making it easy to get interested in the film. Leatherface is a iconic destructive force to be recon with. The Downs: That people has critized the movie for it's gore and violence after reading it's title when there exist tons of more violent and grotesque films out there. "

Still A Better Love Story Than Twilight (20 movies items)

"Leatherface and Chainsaw Their story touched my heart, when Chainsaw missed his target, Leatherface forgave him and danced with him. Not many people would forgive their loved ones for such things, but if you really do you would and he did. The dance scene is so wonderfull, it really fills my heart with joy. "

Films and the critics who hate them (741 movies items)

"The movie is some kind of weird, off-the-wall achievement. I can't imagine why anyone would want to make a movie like this, and yet it's well-made, well-acted, and all too effective. - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times"
