The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a classic horror... Menacing, terrorising, deeply disturbing
12 June 2010
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

Top 15 - Horror Films of All Time

Rated R - Bloody and sadistic violence, sequences of terror and menace

Amidst the decline of the Southern rural economy, a family of former butchers in Texas turn their chopping skills from animal meat to human meat. Leatherface is the main villainous character of the clan, using his chainsaw to hunt down and slice unfortunate travelling teenagers across the harsh plains of Texas.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is not particularly violent or gory, when comparing to today's horror standards (Saw, Hostel and other trash), however the core of this insanely disturbing horror classic, is its dark and menacing theme, intensified by its sustained terrorisation.
