After witnessing the horror which was Caravan of Courage I returned home to a pleasant treat. Mike and Carolyn were about to sit down and watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
This is a really beautiful film if you think about it terms of when it came out. Early 70s is when the prototype to your favourite slasher films appeared on the big screen with Leatherface taking a piece of flesh from every character in the movie.
The movie is crazy just for the sheer brutality of how Leatherface just comes at you with this sledgehammer and them BLAMO! You’re down for the count.
My particular fave scenes are when he’s running through the woods with the chainsaw. There’s nothing worse than a chainsaw-wielding maniac running after you at night through the woods.
Also, the twist near the end just makes the film even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend this film to everyone who is a horror buff. Just think about it – there would be no Freddy, Jason or Mike Myers if there wasn’t Leatherface.
