The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

"This debuted the year I was born. Obviously, I didn't see it until later on cable. Humans can be monsters and this is proof. "

"One of my absolute all time favorites, and not just in the horror category. This film is boss af and *so* brutal. I loved that there were no well-known actors in the cast, it made it feel so damn real. The way they presented it as a true story, goddam* brilliant. Definitely one for the history books. If you don’t at least appreciate this movie, I feel that you don’t appreciate film as an art"

"Saw this at a drive in movie when it came out. It was so disturbing and made me sick to my stomach. Couldn’t believe it was a true story."

"Just decided to watch the original just to refresh my memory before I watching the new one on Netflix."

"This is an example of one of those movies that is really good on multiple technical and writing/staging levels and also failed to really win me over on a personal one. It’s sweaty, gross, creepy, and on a total manic high. "

"1/10 Choices were made in the making of this movie and not a single one was good. The whole reason you turned the movie on doesnt even start until over 50 minutes into the movie. The characters are boring and unlikable. 4 of the 5 main characters are killed off in a matter of seconds. The last 20 minutes of the movie feels unscripted and many of the scenes go on for far too long. "

"No"

"Aghhhhh!!"

"The originals are usually the best, this one had too much screaming at the end almost busted my eardrums and I didn't even have on headphones. The guy in the wheelchair was whiny"

"8/10. Low budget, poorly acted, early horror exploitation film. However, similar to Night Of The Living Dead to the zombie film genre or Black Sabbath to the heavy metal music genre, this film is significant as the beginning of the slasher horror film genre. Friday The 13th, Halloween, Nightmare On Elm Street, etc all evolved from this film. Ironically, there is very little gore in this film. The horror is implied. Yet, scenes are still disturbing with intense suspense and thrills."
