Review of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre by Misshapen_Steed

I love pretty much every single thing about this movie. It has a handful of my favorite shots in cinema, and the third act of this film is so relentlessly cruel that it left me on edge for about a week after my first viewing. That was many years ago now, and I think this was my fourth time watching The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but it still unsettles me. In a movie where people are beaten with sledgehammers, hung on meat hooks, and carved with chainsaws and knives, they still managed to make a fucking broomstick a most horrifying weapon.

This movie fucking smells. It is macabre, grisly, brutal and beautiful. There is an omnipresence of violence and callousness throughout the entire movie. Every shot reeks of menace. This movie is an achievement and one of the best if you ask me, horror or otherwise.
