The Texas Chainsaw Massacre


Tobe Hooper, 1974 (suom. "Teksasin moottorisahamurhat")

This is a very effective horror movie that despite its gory name is actually eventually not so gory in the sense of displayed gore. Just the extremely brutal subject and the all-present mindless violence in the film is enough to keep the viewer on his toes throughout. What could be a more terrible thing to imagine than a human leather masked bloody apron wearing mindless maniac chasing you through a thicket in the middle of almost total darkness of the night, wielding a running chainsaw? Many scenes in the film really got under my skin due to their pure experienced (not displayed) brutality.

About horror films in general please read my post on "Suspiria".
