The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Reviews

external linkAn eerie, neo-realistic (almost to the point of being documentary-style) horror film is surprisingly low in gore, but way up there in sheer terror. ... "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" could only have been made effectively in the 1970s, as so many of the films sequels would later prove. [read review]

external linkThe house in the movie looked totally creepy, very dark and overgrown wildlife and bush covered it. Small amount of light were seen coming out the small window through the dirty dark curtains. [read review] 3.5/5
-- (terrorwatch.net)
external linkOne of my favorite horror films. This is a violent and edgy cult film that leaves you thinking about it weeks after viewing it. Highly recommended for any horror fan. [read review] 9/10
--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
external linkTobe Hooper's brilliant use of "implied" violence dispels the myth that this is a very gory movie. See the "meat-hook" scene for this.. [read review] 4.5/5
--Gryphon (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
external linkAt first glance it's an unpleasant and brutal low-budget film, but at second glance it's a stylish little film. Truly a classic. [read review] 4/4
