1974
aw
this one at my grandparents' drive-in and was scared of Texas for years.
Now I'm just sometimes leery of barbecue. A precursor in the genre of
film which includes both Halloween and Friday the 13th,
this grisly yet somehow silly story of a family of freak murderers who
chainsaw their victims and dress in their skin plays out just like a
Texas tall tale. Thing is, the film originally advertised that the story
was supposed to be based on true ocurrences. Unremitting and not one
bit subtle, we follow our unsuspecting vanful of teenagers through demise
by meat hook, sledgehammer and ole' Leatherface's buzzing saw. Hands-down
winner for longest screaming sequence ever.
