The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
Directed by Tobe Hooper
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE not only changed the face of horror in 1974 but still remains one of the most shocking, powerful and terrifying films ever made. Widely banned on its release it’s notoriety has not diminished and this harrowing tale of a depraved Texan clan, and its chainsaw wielding icon of horror, Leatherface, continues to stun and disturb audiences like no other film. This new director supervised restoration brings new life and detail to the film and immerses the viewer as never before. Contains violence and gore.
A group of friends are terrorised by a chainsaw wielding madman and his depraved family in this legendary horror.
Cast: Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger, Paul A. Partain

Absolute classic
Never understand the R18+ rating certainly - there's legit zero actual gore on display - only implied - yet even in 2024 it's rated R.
A classic for sure, and definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. It doesn’t hold up to other classics, though — janky camera work and a startling crescendo of pace make it a bit of a tough watch. Still worth it!
I will never understand the hype surrounding this movie. There are far better classics from this era.
My all-time favourite - absolute masterpiece. Sally is the most believable final girl in history - that final shot of her in the van...just iconic. I give it 18795878 skulls out of 5
