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)

I have to give this extra credit for giving me a nightmare the night I watched. Interestingly enough, Leatherface only had a few seconds of screen time. It was the hitchhiker who terrorized only me through the halls of an unfamiliar house full of my extended family. That is, before he sliced off my dominant hand and the tone shifted to lamentation of its implications (I'd never toss the pigskin with my dad or future son again) When I awoke, I immediately made a fist to see it was still there

A terrifying exercise in tension and panic; Tobe Hooper's 1974 original is deserving of its classic status, birthing one of the most truly disturbing characters in all of cinema history.

Hey ... this a pretty good movie! Seriously, this is an utter masterpiece. It creates an atmosphere of unease from the very first images and builds tension until it explodes in a frenzy of sheer utter madness. I never tire of this film.

The movie gets its scariness from its really freaky and weird nature but it doesn't push its boundaries to get so weird that it really leaves a mark. It's like they set on the road to make something really controversial and disturbing but had to back down and tune it down a little bit.

1974 became the starting point for the modern horror film and Tobe Hopper has managed to create a nightmarish atmosphere in his work. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has a unpleasant feeling that is constantly present and it's mental terror at its finest.

So I'm sure this felt groundbreaking at the time, but I found too many of the performances irritating and the final sequence to be off the mark. I'm sure it's better than all its successors, so I won't be giving those a chance. Probably just not for me.
