A true horror movie, the most disturbing slasher film for sure. Leatherface is scary as hell, the sounds he makes and the way he behaves is horrifying. [spoiler] The same goes to that psychopath family of his, goddamn, what a bunch of crazy people. [/spoiler]

The low-budget helped the film in my opinion. The atmosphere created is amazing, everything looks dirty, stinky and rotten. Also, the feeling of some super hot and unpleasant weather is present, well, it's Texas so that's expected I guess, nice job. The movie has kind of a documentary tone, grainy and yellowish cinematography that raises every aspect of what the filmmakers were trying to achieve. The violence is not that graphical as you could expected, but is so brutal and raw that makes it more realistic. Not every kill scene has blood flying to your face or a limb being ripped off but your brain is there to work for you and fill the gap of what the damage has caused (meat hook, that's right, uh, chills). Simple, but so effective.

The last 30 minutes of this movie are pure insanity (that dinner scene), almost non stoppable screams, insane laughter and chainsaw sounds that will haunt you (or at least leave you with your ear buzzing).
