The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Released in 1974, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a macabre and frightening tale inspired by the serial killer and canibal Ed Gein. "Inspired by true events", we follow Sally and her "invalid" brother Franklin and a group of her friends as the investigate rumors of graves which have been robbed and twisted by an unnamed individual.
God damn. This movie is beyond depraved and twisted. It's a classic and a film I watch every year, and certain scenes never cease to creep me out. Leatherface is a horror movie icon, and the way that Gunnar Hansen portrays the deviant killer is legendary.
This is a film that experiments a ton with noise. Chainsaws, hammers, metal doors, cutting, slicing, dicing...there actually isn't a ton of on screen blood in the movie, but the sounds of the screams and the chainsaw make up for it and creates something much more uncomfortable in your mind.
Watch this.
