Leatherface is so creepy and scary. The sound of a chainsaw chasing you has to be one of the scariest sounds ever.

>"That's the last goddamn hitchhiker I ever pick up." This is one of the creepiest horror movies I have seen. You'd think after watching so many I would get used to gore but the way they film this really gives me the chills. It's pretty messed up and I think the low budget makes it feel even more real. I wish they had never made any sequels to keep it as a vintage horror phenomenon.

Plays extremely well on your imagination, one perceives that the film is MUCH more grisly than it really is. That's but one of the many reasons that this masterpiece sets itself apart from the pretenders to the throne that came after. However I love part 2 as well albeit for vastly different reasons.

[Filmin] America assumes its own violence. Consequences of Vietnam. The radio talks about macabre and absurd crimes. Soundtrack of squeaks, screams and chainsaws. Rot and decay. Sally in the slaughterhouse. Flesh, bones and blood. An unbreathable atmosphere like few times. The horoscope already announced it: "Upsetting persons around you, could make this a disturbing and unpredictable day". Welcome to psycho America.

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 More

Inspired by the crimes of real-life serial murderer Ed Gein, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is a brutal, sadistic and gory film about insane cannibalistic murderers, specifically the infamous so-called Leatherface, whom is a chainsaw-wielding serial killer who pierced and slashed countless amount More

Such a simple premise, yet so effective.

I think that's my only complaint about this classic, is how minimal and straight-forward the film's story is. Now -- that's not to say that's a bad thing, 'cause it works enough for this. What many others have already commented is how T More

This goes beyond scary. What I mean is, it's not really scary, it's insane. It's a crazed nightmare. What Sally goes through with the cannibal family is not horrific in the gory sense, it's not even all that bloody. It's the struggle against insanity and Sally's fight to keep her's. And WOW! C More
