Day 10
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
You know that part in haunted houses, where someone is chasing you with a chainsaw? Say hello to Leatherface! The chainsaw comes to gruesome life in this movie in the hands of this faceless villain, as well as hammers, hatchets, etc.
This movie is short (just shy of an hour and a half) and it passes fairly quickly. The dialogue though leaves a lot to be desired. Listen to me, talking about dialogue in a horror movie where the screaming is probably the most important. Well...that seems to be the only thing they do in this movie.
I do think that some of the best parts were the out of the blue killings. Leatherface just came out of nowhere and it wasn't dragged out. Just...BAM and done in most of the cases. The most suspenseful part was watching the last girl being chased around forever. Man...they just kept running!
Overall thoughts, not a bad movie. I'm now interested in how it was updated in 2003, just to see if anything was improved upon. Something to look in to...
I bet you'll also never look at barbecue the same way after watching this as well. Think on that!
