The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(1974) is one of the best known and most feared American slasher films. This film is about a group of 5 friends that get hunted down and terrorized as they fall victim to a family of grave robbing cannibals and a crazed man with a chainsaw.
This film was intense and if you have a weak stomach this film is not for you. It was directed by Tobe Hooper and the film was said to be based on a true story, but the truth is that they just said that in order to market a wider audience and the story is an untrue one. The main antagonist Leatherface (our man with the chainsaw) was inspired by a real life murderer Ed Gein. That's still pretty creepy even with the films plot being fiction.
I thought that this film was awesome and they came out with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2, All American Massacre, Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III and a re-make of this film in 2003. There is an actual The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise. They sell comics and video game adaptions of the original film. This film till this day is making a lot of money.
