The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
A Mini Movie Review by Dave Randal
Plot: Five friends visiting their grandpa's old house are hunted down and
terrorized by a chainsaw wielding killer and his family of grave-robbing
cannibals.
I first watched this movie a couple of years ago and I remember being a bit disappointed by it. The movie had such a reputation for being violent that I think I just expected a lot more from it in that regard. I'm not sure what it is, but if I had to guess I would say I have seen too many torture porn movies like Saw and I believe movies like that have kind of desensitized me to older violent horror movies.
