Sure..even better ones, but TCM started it all! Its much better than the other so called 70s cult classics such as Hills Have Eyes and Last House on the Left. TCM is a very solid 7/10. NOTE: If you get the dvd from a few years ago, you arent getting the best transfer of this movie! If you want this on DVD, RUN NOW and buy the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: THE ULTIMATE EDITION! Its a Gold cover case with Leather face on it and says ULTIMATE EDITION. I have owned every edition and every transfer til now has sucked in some form or another. This new ULTIMATE EDITION fixes EVERYTHING! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This is a classic, the remake was good but this movie started it all. This was known as one of the gorriest movies of all time and yet they never showed any gore, The reason it still is, the viewer's imagination. Leatherface is one of the greatest horror movie killers of all time. Its a must see movie. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Now everyone says that its so funny, but I just do not understand their logic. The plot is very well written and Hooper does an amazing job directing this film. Still a classic movie that all horror buffs need to have. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

It is not that gory but scares the hell out of you. The film delivers strong memorable characters and scenes that make you never want to drive down that dark road or ever run out of gas in Texas. From the graveyard pictures in the opening credits to the marcarbe supper scene at the end, the Texas Chainsaw Massacar keeps you in total fear. Even today this film sets the standards for all horror movies. There are many versions of the TCM out on video but the original is the best, don't waste your time on the remakes or the sequels they are all pretty bad. The DVD version is great because the picture is enhanced but it doesn't loose it's vintage 1974 feel. I highly recommended this film to anyone who loves a good scare.
