    The seventies...Nice shirt and trousers, disco music...and a freaking adventures of a crazy faceless lunatic ! Nowadays, you will say it's the typical slasher movie. Teenagers on a road trip will cross the way of an hysterical family of butchers. There's a mad hitchiker (never invite one to jump in in the Texas), some crazy old man and the most impressive of all, Leatherface. Just like a big baby with 5 of IQ and an incredible strenght.

    One of the first thought I had when I first saw this movie, it's that it's not as gore as you can think. In fact, nothing is really shown, that's one part of the good directing. All in the suggestion. The movie is filled with some sticky atmosphere, inhuman behaviour and an exquisite bad taste. Furniture made with some bones, zoom inside an eye, aggressive noise...It's like visiting a giant haunted house.

    Today, some might think that it's too old, not frightening anymore. I disagree. In my own opinion, the impact is not the same that in 1974, but it's definitly a turn in the history of cinema. So if your perverted mind want to see some crazy guy slice a disable guy on a wheelchair with a chainsaw, you know where to look...
