4 me, this is a very close 2nd-best all-time horror film. Halloween is sane by comparison: cold, clinical, surgical, whereas TCM is brilliantly, & creatively, insane. This film is amazing #horrormovies

One of my favorites. Made on a shoestring budget of some $80K. Has become a blueprint for a new genre in film making.
Ironically, you never actually see anyone gored by a chainsaw. But you feel like you do. And, Tobe Hooper's sound effects are now burned into the world's collective consciousness. I've seen so many films literally lift his sound effects onto theirs.
