Long befor ethe Blair Witch Project made its way into theaters with the novel idea of claiming that the movie was real, there was the Texas Chainsaw Massacure.
This is the story of a group of teenages that made the wrong move of hanging out in the wrong place. In the new movie, the mistake was picking up a hitch hiker that narrowly escaped from a crazy family. We are all familiar with Leatherface, the villian of this movie. It is interesting to note that the myht of what happened in Texas, apparently in 1972, has been expanded. Where the original premise is that the family is just crazy and Leatherface is a pyscho with a preoccupation with a chainsaw and wearing people's skin, the movie tries to explain a little more about what might have been the motivation behind this killing.
Of course, at the base, it is a horror movie. THe interesting thing is that I could see it happen. Why couldn't a small community, crazy and all family, isolate themselves and live off the flesh of travellers? Especially in texas.
As far as a horror movie goes, it is pretty graphic and some parts aren't for the weal of stomach. But if you like horror, check out TCM.
