Yet another classic of the horror genre
“There has been a time that I wasn't really that fond of horror films, finding some had cheap excessive gore, bad acting and scripting and a lack of genuine thrills and suspense. I couldn't have been more wrong, some of the best of the genres are anything but these. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the best, it screams horror classic from the character Leatherface to the many times it's been imitated/parodied but never equalled. I think the use of the documentary-style realism is masterful, and the fact it is low-budget makes no difference to me, in fact to me this adds to the gritty, harsh and creepy tone this film conveys.

Message or Meaning! (24 movies items)" The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre (arguably the most hyperanalyzed horror film ever made) has often been interpreted as a sly anti-capitalist statement—a nightmare vision of rural America lashing out at the industrial society that rendered it obsolete. This movie is not just violence for its own sake.

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 2 (130 movies items)"Pros: Tobe Hooper The opening of the film. Cinematography by Daniel Pearl It’s a classic horror film. The atmosphere. You feel you ate there, as it happens. Which makes it ever more terrifying. It’s a restless movie, from beginning to end. Marilyn Burns, as Sally Hardesty. Leatherface and his family.
