The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: 50th Anniversary Ratings & Reviews

    Is good
  • AngusMcNutzJanuary 4, 2025
    No notes. You know what it is. We do, however, need to start remaking other Tobe Hooper films rather than Texas Chainsaw for the millionth time. Neon or A24 doing Spontaneous Combustion or Lifeforce lol

    The stuff of nightmares! Moody, disturbing, & oozing with a rawness that is lacking in modern day horror. This will make you squirm in your seat.

  • "THE MOVIE FANATIC"April 1, 2026
    This film was so ahead of its time, they had the perfect formula for making a very gritty, believable, raw & disturbing feeling horror film. This is how you build up genuine suspense & tension in a horror film. Apart from the 2003 remake that's what all the sequels have all failed to recapture in this franchise. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 is a 5 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ & a 10/10 Masterpiece a 💯

    Almost as perfect as it gets in Horror films. Gritty, intense and unbelievable. You know the story, you know what's gonna happen yet its horrible. It almost watches like a documentary, and I thing that's what makes it almost more horrifing. It's a go to agian and agian.

    Screaming and running while trying to hide from a man who’s actively hunting you with a chainsaw is absolute insanity.

    I love 70’s horror. Especially this one. It looks like it could be filmed by someone there making a documentary. No stupid Hollywood music or effects. Just creepy as fuck!

    Can't beat the OG. Still commendably sick and wrong in a number of ways.
  • andy bOctober 30, 2025
    total banger - this is a 5/5 horror film imo and contains little real violence. this is sort of what everyone else who makes horror wishes they could recreate but can't

    pure dread, southern gothic anquish, the nonstop wailing and whooping and the roaring chainsaw create such a nightmarish wall of sound, i just wanted it to be over
  • Cynthia Eileen HallOctober 24, 2025
    Just a comment on the photo of Marilyn Burns and that is not her it's someone entirely different. I rate the film 4 out of 5 stars or 80 out of 100 if I were rating by rotten tomatoes scale. A HORROR MASTERPIECE FOR OVER 50 YEARS NOW!!

    The daddy of slasher films, and progenitor of a particularly American style of folk horror. It's unrelentingly visceral and deeply shocking, even half a century later. A stone cold classic.

    I can't imagine what this must have been like to experience in 1974. Watching in 2025, all I can see is the legacy of this movie over the last fifty years. I saw, in TCM, the formula for "hills have eyes", for "hostel", "nightmare on elm Street" and more. The simple story and concept was just so well executed and real in horror. A classic, not to be overlooked.

    A classic that still feels groundbreaking and trailblazing over a half-century later
