Notebook Reviews: THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE

Tobe Hooper – 1974.

Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a low budget and quite horrific horror pic that set the template for a plethora of other fright films.

The set-up is a slow burn, but once things kick-0ff, it becomes unsettling – even though much of the violence is implied rather than seen.

A visceral and powerful piece of movie-making.
