A tale far too horrific to be real - a van full of friends, a dusty back road in Texas, the thud of a mallet, the buzz of a chain saw, muted screams and the tearing of flesh...
Considered by many as the bloody benchmark of horror movies, the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a visceral experience like none other. Inspired by the real-life story of murderer Ed Gein, it follows five young students who unwittingly meet up with a sinister hitchhiker (Edwin Neal)and stumble across a house of horrors where mask-wearing maniac Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen) rules with a wooden mallet and the ultimate
weapon of torture - a whirring chain saw.
