On a balmy summer afternoon, five youths fall prey to a butcher in a mask made of human skin and his cannibalistic family, leading to a night of absolute terror.
- Luna SoleAugust 19, 2026Perfect films transcend genre, and this is a perfect example of the magic of cinema. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of the most masterfully balanced horror films of all time: it terrifies with almost no blood, its evil is not supernatural, and its human brutality reaches depths no monster ever could. As effective in 2026 as it was in 1974, this is nothing less than a masterpiece that every moviegoer should see at least once.
- AngusMcNutzJanuary 4, 2025No 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
- cytospasmAugust 18, 2026perfect
- Gianni CavuotoOctober 14, 2025Almost 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.
- Carl WrestnSeptember 5, 2025Screaming and running while trying to hide from a man who’s actively hunting you with a chainsaw is absolute insanity.
- Tyler DurdenMay 18, 2026Is good
- kandersen1991January 11, 2026One of the classics.. didn't need gore.. just sheer terror!
- PhysicalMedia4LifeApril 1, 2026"The Timeless Classic Masterpiece" was so ahead of its time, they just 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 💯
- Ben RaynerDecember 15, 2025Can't beat the OG. Still commendably sick and wrong in a number of ways.
- maddiechismDecember 6, 2025pure 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
- astrofauxNovember 20, 2025A classic that still feels groundbreaking and trailblazing over a half-century later
- CarterNovember 10, 2025The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a fun but definitely overrated movies, the movie was a lot of fun, until it got to the last 30 minutes of the film. The movie has a really generic premise, but I still have a blast with it. Letherface is very creepy in this film, and we get some somewhat good kills, and like I said up until the last 30 minutes of the film, it was a lot of fun. But the ending just didn’t do it for me, it will give you a headache, it’s literally just watching a girl scream and yell for 20 minutes straight, and watching her get tortured, which did not work for me, and the whole family thing I did not care for one bit. So I enjoyed it, and still thought it was good, but not a film I would come back to often.
