	The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is an independent low-budget horror film classic made in 1973 (released in 1974) by director Tobe Hooper.
		One of the main characters — Leatherface — is one of the most well known villains in horror cinema, notable for his mask of human skin, his blood-soaked butcher's apron and the chainsaw he wields.
		The official title of the original film writes 'Chain Saw' as two words (contrary to some posters and DVD covers), while the sequels and the remake use the compound 'Chainsaw'.

		Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (also known as Return of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) is a 1994 sequel/remake to the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) horror film.
		This film is one of the most ridiculed entries in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, with many (if not most) saying it is the worst in the entire series, although it does have its share of fans.
		This movie, which is a semi-remake of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre; is about a group of teenagers on prom night who decide to leave early and get into a car accident.

	The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
		Texas Chain Saw Massacre is easily one of the more dark-natured films I have ever seen, especially after Sally (Marilyn Burns) is captured by the psychotic cannibalistic family.
		A remake of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will be released later this year, and going by the trailer, it could possibly live up to the original.
		The original Massacre was followed by a couple of critically-panned sequels that obviously failed to have the same impact as the first one had on audiences everywhere.

	notcoming.com \| The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The chain saw, by and far, is the least efficient, and suggests the film’s exploitative content; the murders therein are expected to be gruesome and bloody.
		This talk is foreshadowing, as the victims are treated in manners similar to those discussed at the slaughterhouse; one is hung on a meat hook, another thrown in a freezer, another (in a particular similarity to the earlier discussion) is bludgeoned with a sledgehammer.
		Had Chain Saw given reason or described the state of the killer in typical slasher fashion, the impact would be lessened.

	The power tool that changed horror forever - More on movies- msnbc.com
		Watching the DVD commentary of “Chain Saw” or viewing the documentary “Texas Chain Saw Massacre: A Family Portrait,” one is struck by the gentle manner of the movie’s star, Gunnar Hansen.
		In a scene where Leatherface falls and cuts his own leg with the chain saw, a metal sheath was wrapped around the actor’s leg for protection.
		But in the end, “Chain Saw” is less a social theory of any type than the kind of scary story that works best when illuminated by slumber-party flashlight, the kind that replays itself behind your eyes when you think you’re asleep.

	The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) - Movie Review
		Chain Saw has a couple of quirky twists, the most amusing being the fact that the Sawyer family serves its victims as barbecue to patrons of the gas station.
		Chain Saw also pioneered the "based on a true story" idea.
		Director Tobe Hooper made Chain Saw on a shoestring, and it's finally been cleaned up on DVD to the point where the video and audio quality are on par with a typical 16mm production.

		The Texas Chain Saw Massacre * - Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Epinions.com
		Technically, Chain Saw is a remarkable achievement; the art direction (particularly inside the bone-littered family home), sound effects (this is a panic-inducingly LOUD movie), editing and musical score (all apocalyptic rumblings and doom-laden keyboard surges) are all outstanding and contribute to the overall dreaded atmosphere.
		Texas Chain Saw also passes the Brodieman Horror Litmus Test; for a horror movie to be truly great, even the daylight scenes must be scary.

	The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
		Everything's unconsciously present, of course, but it seems unfair to thus burden a film which so conscientiously delivers on its title that the actors really did allow themselves to be beaten and cut when the f/x weren't real enough, which apparently didn't leave a whole lot of effort for other considerations.
		When the van's 5 young occupants finally do get around to getting massacred, 4 go down within 20 minutes, and the first kill is accomplished with a bald audacity and lack of artistry that's more what-the-hell than frightening.
		Massacre jogs along unexceptionally but amiably for most of its duration: there's a lot of not-so-good acting, some quick but brutal killings, and tons of visual promise from young Tobe Hooper, whose careful framing predicts the vigor Sam Raimi would bring to a similar genre exercise in The Evil Dead.

	Monstervision’s Joe Bob looks at Texas Chainsaw Massacre
		Actually, "Saw" is a whole lot closer to the true story of Edward Gein, a handyman in Plainfield, Wis., who liked to dig up fresh graves, cut the skin off corpses, wear it on various parts of his own body and dance in the moonlight.
		They only made it Texas when somebody come up with the title, which, you've got to admit, is one of the all-time greatest titles in the history of the universe.
		The remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre is still set in the year 1973, but the chainsaw used by Leatherface is a recent model Husqvarna not available back then.

	The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
		Never before had audiences witnessed the sheer terror and tension of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and the ones who were brave enough to sit through the "Sickest carnival of slaughter ever seen" were terrified to the very heart of their souls.
		The fact that the events in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could potentially happen in real life if a chainsaw or other similar tool got into the wrong hands is what makes the film so chilling.
		The Texas Chainsaw massacre had a miniature budget, and as a result, most of the cast were locals with little acting experience.

		For modern young adults, accustomed to the macabre shocks of horror films through the 1980s and 1990s, THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE is unlikely to be particularly challenging.
		It is nonetheless legitimate to question the unusual emphasis THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE places on the pursuit of a defenseless and screaming female over such an extended period.

	Jamespeak: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Tobe Hooper, 1974)
		I admit I find it vaguely amusing that such a vicious and graphic film is ultimately a plea for vegetarianism, but then again many of the horror films of the '70s were far from subtle with their messages.
		The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of those movies that is both part of and creator of a formula that no film or filmmaker has quite been able to duplicate, not even Hooper himself.
		Chain Saw is far from fantastic and uncanny: it depicts two groups of people (the traveling hippies and the cannibalistic Sawyer family) whose paths should never cross.

	The Texas Chain Saw Massacre DVD review continued (Site not responding. Last check: )
		One by one, the newcomers are killed, leaving only a shrieking Sally to face the truth: they've run into a family of murderous cannibals, including both the bizarre hitchhiker and the old man from the barbecue stand.
		"The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" has been restored for this new DVD release; someone went back to the original tapes and prepared them for stereo -- you have your choice of the newly-engineered stereo track or the original mono track.
		Clearly a movie like this, which features several scenes of beautiful women being chased by a maniac with a chain saw, is not exactly for the family audience.

	Saw II - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution movie review \| AccessAtlanta
		Since the original "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre," "Night of the Living Dead," "The Exorcist," "Seven" and "The Silence of the Lambs," we've stepped ever more deeply into the bloody muck of madness.
		"Saw II," of course, follows the bloody trail of "Saw," last year's jigsaw puzzle gorefest in which Cary Elwes is driven crazy enough to hack off his own foot.
		The film's energy is fueled by fast-paced editing, overblown dialogue ("Oh, yes, there will be blood"), the multilayered guessing game (will anybody solve the riddle of how to get out of that house?) and the truly disgusting (hey, let's toss this ex-druggie woman into a big pile of used needles and syringes).

	The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Series - Reviews by David Nusair
		Although Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre undoubtedly ranks as one of the most indelible and flat-out shocking horror flicks of all time, there is unfortunately no denying that certain aspects of the film just don't hold up all that well today.
		This is despite the effectiveness of the movie's opening forty-five minutes, in which director Tobe Hooper slowly-but-surely ratchets up the level of tension with each passing minute - to the extent that several such sequences are almost unbearably suspenseful (this is particularly true of Leatherface's initial appearance).
		About the DVDs: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre arrives on DVD courtesy of Dark Sky Films, armed with a surprisingly crisp anamorphically-enhanced transfer and an incredible amount of bonus features - including two feature-length documentaries, two audio commentaries, deleted scenes and outtakes, a blooper reel (!), and much more.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
		Texas Chainsaw Massacre is not as split on its subtextual social stances, though.
		Much has been made of how Texas Chainsaw Massacre is hardly as gory as its reputation suggests and that much of its ingenuity is attributable to its power to strongly suggest gore and blood.
		Indeed, the latter is almost a freakish bookend to the period: trickily political (the invading paranormal deviants are actually vengeful westward explorers' spirits upon whose graveyard a suburb was built) as well as a societal mirror in that America's community standard had shifted from the countryside to the upwardly mobile suburbs.

	The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - DVD Review - Horror Movies
		The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, even after 32 years, is still one of the most intense, unrelenting, visceral and truly frightening horror movies ever made.
		This kind of chain reaction rarely happens, in fact, I don’t know if it has truly happened since Chain Saw, and for anyone who considers themselves a film fan (let alone a horror one) and hasn’t seen this film, now is the best time to initiate yourself.
		Texas Chain Saw is one movie that needs to look as if it has spent many years inside a canister waiting to be discovered.

		For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare when they were exposed to an insane and macabre family of chain saw killers.
		One by one they disappear to be brutally butchered, each murder more horrendous than the last with one victim being hung live on a meat hook, another trapped in his wheelchair as he is hacked to death and the surviving member of the group making a frantic bid for escape in the horrific climax.
		There never was a massacre in Texas on which this was based.

	1974 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Movie reviews, trailers, clips and stills
		Sequelizing the original fright classic "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" might have seemed fruitless, but remaking it is cruel and unusual punishment.
		The original "Massacre" was new for showing what depths humanity had sunk to when you would find a house with human bones, skin masks and meathooks.
		"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is, as correctly mentioned by Roger Ebert, a geek show where frigid close-ups of slimy, bloody fluids and hand-held camera footage of people running suggest hysteria, not fear.

	THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE - 2-DISC ULTIMATE EDITION DVD
		Were The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as simple as an elegy for the death of Grant Wood's already-perverse America, such examples of rural decay would be the focus.
		It's a testament to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's power that no matter how much you hope Sally escapes, there's a part of you rooting for the old boy to muster up the strength for one last shot at his former glory.
		All principals are (re)assembled for Blue Underground's 72-minute Texas Chain Saw Massacre: The Shocking Truth, a documentary directed by David Gregory and narrated by Matthew Bell, who establishes the framework for the tradition of grindhouse cinema early on, tracing the decomposition of the 1960s through its art ably, if briefly.

	The Texas Chain Saw Massacre [1974] - Review @ EOFFTV
		It eschewed the 'safe' supernatural horror tradition of Universal and Hammer, opting instead for a dark and dangerous vision of a decaying rural America populated by psychotic cannibals - this was a new kind of horror for the post-Vietnam, post-Manson era.
		Significantly, this is the only time in the entire film that anyone actually dies because of the saw, giving lie to the sensational title, and it again happens off camera.
		The implication - the 'car's graveyard' sequence gives some indication of the scale of their atrocities - is that the Hardesty's and their friends are not the first victims of the deranged family, just the latest in a long line of unwary travelers to fall foul of Leatherface's roaring chainsaw.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (1974)
		In doing this he kept in touch with the MPAA and was given the impression that as long as he kept the blood to a minimum, he'd probably get the GP.
		And CHAIN SAW's ranking as a classic of terror is partly due to Hooper's attempts to get the lower rating by keeping much of the truly horrendous moments just out of sight of the viewers.
		The most notorious of the sequences—the murder by chain saw—is the one the vast percentage of people who have seen it will swear is the goriest thing (or one of the goriest things) they've ever seen.
