The original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remains one of the most disturbing horror films and arguably it's low budget gritty feel makes the film seem even more terrifying as if this was someones long lost home movie. Ironically the film is not as bloody as most people tend to think as the camera cuts away from the scene of actual gore more often then not. However, the frenetic pacing of the film makes the lack of blood almost mute because your mind fills in the rest. Great horror films are often able to use a combination of showing you something terrifying while also allowing your mind to run wild with the images that you are being presented with. I still remember where I was when I watched this movie for the first time and it was in a hot summer day just like the film so perhaps that is why it still is burned deep into mind. Check it out.
