Blood and Guts isn't everything, who cares about titles.

Let me tell you my thoughts.

TCM holds the title for being one of the most maddest, and most chaotic films that hits that silver screen we praise so much, it hits the nerves, and oh boy it sure does deliver that spine tingling pain. The music is normal sounds you hear everyday, radiators, and sutff like that. Leatherface swinging his chainsaw around is one of the most memorable scenes in film history. That dinner scene was so mindblowing. It shows the madness, the eyes, the way these people live makes you think...the world is full of these people. The whole film was a jounrey into the mind of a tormented being. It shows you the more darker aspects of the horror film, the more mental apsects, the ones that are buried deep inside your skull. The ones which haunt you like hell.

This film is so advanced of its time. The Texas Chainsaw Massacew fits the bill perfectly. It was a massacre....people getting hit with hammers over the head making their bodies shake from side to side uncontrolably, a girl is put on a hook while still alive later being thrown into a freezer. A guy in a wheelchair gets sliced from the front. A women barely survives by flinging herself on the back of a truck. Hitchhiker gets run over by a truck, the chainsaw you hear buzzing off into the sunset as the sun slowly drifts off, the last thing you hear is this poor human being's screams of horror as she see's in front of her something that you cannot possibly imagine on your own. That sun with those sounds of chainsaws cannot be repeated because it was put in such an exact place that I cannot explain.
