I felt so bad after closing that ''Head Cheese'' topic the other day that I told myself, ''self, why don't you go rent that classic movie and see for yourself, self''? So I did, and now I'm about to watch it. Even the ragged old video looks scary, I loathe to put in the ol' VCR. Here I go... Submit your thoughts about the Texas Chainsaw Masscare (1974 version, natch) here. |

Leatherface may be a psycho, but he doesn't know the first thing about making prime cuts in human flesh. He'll never make it as a gourmet cannibal. ;P |

I think it sucks. Maybe I was expecting it to be scary too much but it never got under my skin even once. |

When are they going to make the cartoon version of TCM? Kids love that stuff... ;) |

just watch "happytreefriends"on the net, it's gore galore ;) |
||||||||

I think it's an ok horrorfilm. I don't like to mention "could have been"s when I review a movie so I won't. Worth watching anyway. |
||||||||

The movie is (very loosely) based on a true story... But the true story only involved one crazy person; Ed Gein. There's even a movie based on his murders: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I might aswell add that he did some REALLY insane stuff... I don't think the murdering is not the issue. Have not seen the movie, but I've read about the true story. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still it doesn't get any more scary, even knowing that it's based on a true story. What I think was really really scary was that show "idols" and the total mass-hysteria it caused over here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the true story is more scary than the movie... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I know all about Ed Gein... nice guy. Interestingly, one of the actors in this movie was named Ed Guinn! I just noticed watching the credits. Man... that was insane. No special effects, grainy amateur camera, it feels so realistic. Nothing like the horror movies of today. Just... creepy. You can see where all the horror movie conventions came from, they're all there, but without that sense of parody... fucking great film. I need that soundtrack. |

this movie is so dope.. it's like a snuff film, only you have the comfort of knowing it's fake. ........or is it? |

nice one !) |

I love the scene where the boys are trying to get pa to kill the girl with a hammer. I found it quite disturbing but also arousing at the same time. And i think if you all admit to yourselves, you did it. |
||||||||
|

The only bit that got me was when they first venture into the house and suddenly the masked giant appears and brains one of the kids. I was totally unprepared and it just 'got' me. If I were to re-watch it, it wouldn't have this effect. The rest of the film was just funny. Oh and the meat hooks were pretty cool. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think its the scariest film ever. It freaked the living fuck out of me when I first saw it... plus the meat hook bit gets everyone, even the people trying to laugh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i find it very cool, the family disturbing situations,... not the best horror film to me tho |
||||||||
|
|

I've only seen one called "Texas Chainsaw Massacre- The next generation" set 20 years after the original. Some creepy guy is orchestrating the whole thing. Strangley it's not listed on imdb. Anyone know the one I mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heard about it.. think you shouldn't expect something fine, making sequels is a new national sport, it will be stupid and too new to fit with the original. |
||||||||
|
|

*cowers* This is one classic movie that I wont see! Blood... doesnt do it for me. :| I dont like the scary movies with monsters or killers that just kill people randomly... I like thrillers, I think. But for the most part, I stay away from horror movies. :| Ceri--the internet movie database! its not there? *goes to check* |

The only horror movie that scared me while watching it (some play on your mind in the following nights afte rwatching them, but I'm not normally scared while watching) was the Blair Witch 2. Strange as most people slated it. I think the fact it was actually quite realistic (I'll not explain why in case people haven't seen it) made it all the more unsettling. |
||||||||

Isn't that the original? I was talking about: "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- The next generation" set 20 years after the original. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes please :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha okay. :) Most popular title searches: Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The (1974) Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The (2003) 9 'title' matches (i.e. movies, TV, video etc): Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The (1994) Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The (1974) Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, The (1986) Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The (1983) (VG) Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The (2003) Texas Chainsaw Massacre: A Family Portrait (1988) (V) Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Shocking Truth (2000) (V) Texas Comedy Massacre, The (1987) Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990) That is the list Im finding... not finding that exact title there. Hmm! Is it that 1994 one? Honestly, I dont know anything about this movie or its history because things like this scare me. ;) Sorry I couldnt be of anymore help! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah cheers, actually I just checked and it was: Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The (1994) It's actually quite good... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
part 2 (starring dennis hopper!) is really good but for completely different reasons to part 1... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The original is fairly atmospheric, but I prefer "Three on a Meathook" which is also loosely based on Ed Gein |
||||||||
|

This is hands down one of the greatest horror films ever made. The 16 mm grainy film just adds to the effect that you are watching a home made film or one of the old emergency films from grade school. As far as the gore factor, If you watch closely, there isnt even that much blood in the film. Part 2 isnt bad, 3 was pretty cool, next generation kinda sucked but I have high hopes for part 5 coming out later this year. The hot chick from rules of attraction is in it. |

I missed out on a Super 8 copy of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. would of made for some wicked projection!! :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i liked the one with dennis hopper (2nd?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I imagine the super 8 verison would go for a lot... me and a mate were considering getting a projector etc, but when we realised how expensive films for it were and how hard to come by blank tape was we knocked it on the head. I demand a Super 8 re-issue along with the TR-303, NES games and pads and HAB 2. |

texas chainsaw massacre was not really what the title promised. it's quite chilling but not really comparable to other psycho weird flicks. the 2nd wasn't better really, but more comfortable to watch! especially the guy with the glowing wires... "dog will hunt", this was even sampled in primus' "jerry was a race car driver" :) |
||||||||

|
i love - the psycho hitcher brother they pick up - the wheel chair guy getting it - the constant screaming at the end - pa sucking the finger ... great horror moments |
