This was the ultimate teen drive-in movie of the seventies, (along with "Last House on the Left") and impossible to experience the way we did when it was released. And yeah, we did get a kick out of those scenes that were over-the-top…

A perfect film. Sets the bar for other horror films.

It takes almost half the film for the killing to begin, and when it does, it is frightening and maintains suspensefulness to the last moments where one escapes... barely. There are two close up scenes (rather a passage of images) that are…

✅ It's erroneous to refer, as 'Bubba_Louie' does, to Tobe Hooper "laughing all the way to the bank," as almost all the millions this movie made were stolen by a mob-related distribution company. That's the same thing that happened to "Deep…

You know what? I find that the odd thing about a totally brutal movie like 1974's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is that the more times one views it, the more comical its story actually seems to get. Now, I'm not saying that I was exactly…

When it comes to the movie-genre of horror (with shades of black comedy thrown into the mix for good measure) - I'd say that there are 4 culturally significant films out there that (due to their initial impact) haven't yet been surpassed…

This show was ok. The start though 2as a little slow and half the movie was the lady screaming and a Chainsaw sound. It was still good though even though the main character lady annoyed me (if a creep is chasing you stop screaming and just…

'the most horrifying motion picture that (rex reed had) ever seen.' Tons of commentaries in this edition. Are the villains of this piece what Hillary had in mind when she railed about 'the nation of deplorables,' during the 2016…

Whose Face is that chainsaw guy "Leatherface" Wearing? S cArY! Hey where'd Richard Nixon go? 1974 was a strange year in American media. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

This movie scared the beejezus out of me when I was a kid- so I decided to revisit it a few years ago to see how it held up. Still scares the beejezus out of me- part of that is the music/ score. People should remember that this was a…

Sweat-inducing, claustrophobic, unrelenting suspense-comic-horror film from 1974. Very influential - And not even close to being as violent as it's reputed to be. Followed by 3 sequels and a remake in 2003.

And, speaking about "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" - I certainly can't imagine how anyone (in their right mind) could actually make it a steady diet of watching films from this one's horrific sub-genre. I really can't. Sick, twisted,…

A masterpiece of horror. Tobe Hooper does a magnificent job of creating a truly scary and disturbing movie. What's more is that he does it while showing very little on-screen blood. Hooper knows that the less shown, the more unsettling…

It was a little slow at the beginning but about half way through it started to get good. The remake was better.

Mother of all horror movies after 1974 release of this masterpiece. Should be the most screaming movie actress in the Guiness record.

Many years ago during the 70's some friends and i decided to go to 42nd street to see some martial art movies and saw this movie instead. I remember this film scaring the H - -L! out of all of us. Even though it was low budget, i believe…

This movie was entertaining and interesting but not one of my favorite for this year. Not too bad---good performance. I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way. B- DVD Its not fun to be in rural Texas but a good DVD.

The is an old version. The horror atmosphere of the new version is much more scary.
