When Sally hears that her grandfather's grave may have been vandalized, she and her paraplegic brother, Franklin, set out with their friends to investigate. After a detour to their family's old farmhouse, they discover a group of crazed, murderous outcasts living next door. As the group is attacked one by one by the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface, who wears a mask of human skin, the survivors must do everything they can to escape.

"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."

"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. "
"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."
