Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Rated R
Director: Tobe Hooper
Gary says, "Certainly the darkest of inflicted terror as it set a new
standard for taking a break from the action to get some popcorn."
Tobe Hooper's influential cult classic continues the subgenre of
horror films based on the life and "career" of Wisconsin serial killer
Ed Gein, which began with Alfred Hitchcock's own influential cult
classic Psycho. When Sally Hardesty (Marilyn Burns) hears that the
Texas cemetery where her grandfather is buried has been
vandalized, she gathers her wheelchair-bound brother Franklin (Paul
A. Partain) and several other friends together to see if grandpa's
remains are still in one piece. While in the area, Sally and her friends
decide to visit grandfather's old farmhouse. Unfortunately, a family of
homicidal slaughterhouse workers who take their job home with them
have taken over the house next door. Included amongst the brood is
Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen), a chainsaw-wielding human horror
show who wears a face mask made out of human skin. Sally's friends
are rapidly exterminated one-by-one by the next-door neighbors,
leaving only Sally left to fight off Leatherface and his clan. ~ Paul
Brenner, All Movie Guide
The Thing from Another World (1951)
Running Time: 1 hr. 27 min.
