Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Plustown
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Skyler
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

So the first 30 minutes of this movie is in my opinion so, so. It's a good build up, but the only thing we have are characters, and from the beginig we can predict who's gonna die first, who's gonna be a final girl etc. But no one can predict what happens later! About 30-40 minutes in the movie Leatherface shows up and the first scenes with him, when he kills his first victoms are actually kind of creepy. We don't know anything about him and it's all just weird. In a good way. And the scene where he starts to pray is in my opinion the best example of that. But then the movie suddenly becomes masterpiece. The dinner scene is... Awesome. It's one of the weirdest, funniest and most bizzare things I experienced for a long time. I won't give it away but if you love weird things you won't be disappointed, I can promise you that. Hit her grandpa!!!

I had high hopes but I was sadly let down. I can't stress on how bad this movie really is. Very over hyped and not worth my time. I had to fast forward a lot while watching it to get to the "good" parts and even those parts were cheesy. It's not scary, or thrilling, or suspenseful, or anything besides ridiculously stupid. Even for a 70's movie, the acting was horrendous. I don't understand why so many people still to this day love this movie. In my opinion, the Jessica Biel remake is where it's at. Which is why I thought the original would be even better. Honestly, just watch the 2003 remake and call it a day.

Terrifying. Disturbing. Violent. Those three words symbolize Tobe Hoopers 1974's Texas Chainsaw Massacre, his fearsome horror entry setting the tone for what the 1980's became familiar with, the slasher. Hell awaits a group of young sightseer's as they venture into a remote texan township, the barebones plot revealing a primal, grotesque nature thats instantly identifiable and unsettling. Little is known about the chainsaw weilding maniac that awaits them, and thats what makes the film more alluring. Horror movies have a knack of making the heroes dull and less interesting than their attackers, and Hooper has produced a crude enigma surrounding Leatherface and his hick family of murderous cannibals. The nervous disposition that this movie puts you in isnt to dissimiliar to how the road trippers feel when first enter the fateful house of horrors. From the outside, the homestead looks like any other in the area, but its whats inside thats truly terrifying as we see rooms resembeling an abbotoir.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a film that thrives from experimentation and voyeurism, delivering a style of movie with villians completely devoid from human civilisation. As the victims are slaughtered or tortured one by one, Hooper creates an isolation rarely seen in any horror film before or since.
A horror film where the eerie silences are scarier than the inevitable voilence.

Love the scene where Leatherface snatches Pam.
She had some sexy legs on her. Too bad they didn't have
Leatherface do "more" to her after grabbed her pretty little ass and
carried her back inside the house. I really love how she's screaming
and struggling her hot legs as she's helpless to escape.
