And last, but by far not the least Marylin Burns PHENOMENAL performance is the only in cinematic history (a close second by that of Shelly Duvall in The Shining) that evokes such a nature of desperate and primal fear.
Partain, Edwin Neal, Jim Siedow and Gunnar. The air-tight script, jarring realism and attention to detail are unparalleled in practically any film, horror or otherwise. 30.9 million 4 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre note 1 is a 1974 American slasher horror film produced and directed by Tobe Hooper from a story and screenplay by Hooper and Kim Henkel. The expert subtlety of the filmmakers Tobe Hooper (writer/director), Kim Henkel (co-writer) and Daniel Pearl (cinematographer) results more in psychological terror than in gore. Unlike its remake, this one is more of an exercise in minimalism and simplicity (think even Dogme). It is also one of few timeless films that has managed to combine horror and avant-garde styles, successfully. It gave birth to the "slasher" genre (for better or for worse).

As the first of its kind, this movie set the mold for the modern horror film, though none were ever to realize any comparable distinction. Under a thin layer of dated aesthetics (1973 style of dress) lies the most dangerous, horrifying and psychotic world ever committed to script or screen. The natural lighting and loose, improvised acting style creates a strong sense of reality that no other horror film can possibly achieve.
You feel not only fearful for the characters, but at times feel afraid for your own safety. No other horror film stays with you in the same way. The (original) Texas Chainsaw Massacre, is without a doubt in my mind, the most impressive horror film to date.
