| Description: | A group of hippies travelling through 1970's Texas fall prey to a trio of murderous brothers and their cannibal grandparents. | Comments: | When I first saw this movie it really unnerved me. For starters, it was like watching a documentary. During the movie I couldn't help but wonder whether the psychotic family were really sadistic killers. They're not actors I thought to myself. The realism in this film was truly unnerving. There were no special effects and the camerawork made you believe you were watching a documentary. (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)The film itself is brilliant. It's really scary because there's a weird family living out in the sticks and they're truly demented. I felt a bit sick when I saw the scenes in the house with bones cluttering up the place and Leatherface cutting up dead bodies. And the scene at the dinner table where Sally was tortured was downright disturbing.Jim Siedow played a wonderful part as the cook who was totally insane. Edwin Neal also played a great part as the hitchhiker character who was downright twisted. And who can forget the inhuman Leatherface. One of the best scenes in this film is where Leatherface chases Sally through the forest. He just doesn't give up and pursues her relentlessly. Then she runs into a garage where she meets Jim Siedow and it looks like she's going to be safe...until the viewers realise that Jim Siedow is one of the family. What a scary film. What scared me the most was the fact that this weird family was living in an isolated area where no one could hear any screams for help. Sometimes in real life, I find myself driving down country lanes and I see farmhouses in the distance and I think to myself, "Please don't break down here." I've never been able to look at a farmhouse in the same way since seeing this film. If you haven't seen this film, rent it now. |
