The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) Review:

The original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a heavyweight classic of horror! That is why I will probably make enemies by saying that he difficultly stands the test of time.

The biggest problem about it is the almost total absence of a story. At first, there are kids going in a random house, then Leatherface appear pretty much out of the blue and start chasing the kids around.

But then, TCM is an atmosphere movie, the constant screaming (and there are a lot of screaming!!), the crazy pursuits and the demented characters successfully makes this movie really oppressive. Amongst the villain, my preference goes to the hitch-hiker, what a maniac! But they are all great indeed, the family dinner scene is simply insane!

Hence, the movie is great and has got a very particular atmosphere and some good action scenes, but the plot dramatically lacks a backbone to make it one of the best horror ever. Still, everyone need to see it, it is an unforgettable experience.
