The classic horror film by Tobe Hooper, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, takes us once again to rural Texas. Five friends are on a road trip, and they're the average young Americans who see no problem in picking up hitchhikers and addressing astrology as a guide. Their trip is cut short when they're forced to make a stop in an area where a family of cannibals lives. One by one, they fall prey to a madman wielding a chainsaw. But hey, he was just getting tonight's dinner. One of the Greatest Horror Statements Ever Made After The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, horror wasn't the same again. Forget about passing through Texas and even eating meat. People were in shock because of Hooper's clever attack on capitalism and Americana, which used a horror-based backdrop to install a message about life in the wasteland of rotting flesh and rusted metal. It's a film so raw (but not graphic), you can almost smell the odors, touch the bones of long-forgotten victims, and feel like you're there on a farm where the unspeakable is the rule. When it comes to gritty horror from the 1970s, there's nothing more authentic than this iconic film. ![](//storage.proboards.com/3166452/thumbnailer/vqhNwsTgFAsHa0TSWOSY.png)

I have only seen the 2003 remake and it was damn scary and gory. I don't mind scary but the gory put me off.
Having driven across the great wide State of Texas, I know how never-ending the road can be.
Don't think I'd want to go through it again, I'm not as brave as I used to be when I was younger.
Now I want to see the original film - make in 1974

I can't watch these types of movies any more. I've actually never seen this horror classic. The last really gory/horrific ones I've seen in the past that leap to mind are House of 1000 Corpses & The Devil's Rejects both featuring "Captain Spaulding"(Sid Haig) who totally owned the demented killer clown trope.

I may not watch that 1974 one. Like you, foxy, I really don't like gory movies.
