Finally saw the original 1974 "Texas Chain Saw Massacre", it was good and pretty brutal for the time.
First time seeing it? In my opinion, it remains one of the most relentless and violent movies ever made. There's absolutely no gore to be seen, but the suggested violence is so painful and the terror so palpable. It ranks (in my book) among the most uncompromising horror movies, alongside
John Carpenter's The Thing,
Suspiria, and
The Evil Dead. Horror movies don't get any better.
