The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
The story begins with five innocent kids on their way to checkout reports of grave robbing. As Sally, (Burns) her invalid brother Franklin, and three friends head out to inspect the gravesite of her family, they are soon side tracked on the ultimate journey of terror. One by one, they wander into the murderous clutches of Leatherface and his trusty chainsaw. The poster reads: "Who will survive and what will be left of them?" In this case, not much, and what is...well, becomes the main course. (House of Horrors)

The longest 83 minute movie I've ever seen, this film has a few good moments (mostly with Leatherface right when he first appears), but is mostly boring, and pretty much every character is extremely obnoxious. The first half if the movie is mostly just the unlikable characters being obnoxious, and it never gets particularly interesting. Probably the most boring "classic" horror film I've watched.

Perhaps had I seen this as a teen it would've been more effective on me. However, as an adult, it was irritating & then unpleasant. While there's no question that in the second half of the film Hooper worked overtime (& with no small amount of technical prowess & creativity) to try and capture the sensation of what it's like to go insane, the first half is still filled w/ teen cyphers who only exist to die (the only personality trait is annoying) & the second half feels like torture porn's dad.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is not the disgusting splatter fest it is known to be or would eventually become. That being said, it doesn't waste much time with subtlety either. So it exists as a classic for the horror fanatics only. And it's filmed and acted well enough to be called as such.

There are problems with this that I could discuss: some bad characters, parts are dated, starts rather slow, and almost nothing in the way of a real plot. All that being said: I have never been more physically and emotionally affected by a horror film. The last half-hour of this captured what pure visceral fear looks and feels like in a way that I have never experienced before. Bravo Tobe Hooper, bravo.
