There really aren’t enough good things to say about this movie - it’s just such a goddamn treat when all of the horror movie stars align to produce a film of this caliber. They decide to also visit the old Hardesty homestead and, while exploring nearby, wind up running into Leatherface and his cannibalistic family… Partain), and three friends, Jerry (Allen Danziger), Kirk (William Vail), and Pam (Teri McMinn), to visit the gravesite of her grandfather to make sure it hasn’t been defaced in a recent spate of grave robbings.

The iconic dinner table scene, for example, was shot in a marathon 26-hour session, which led to the actors truly - physically and mentally - being on the verge of breaking down. The film was shot with a budget of around $300,000, which led to gruelingly long days shooting in Texas’s summer heat in order to keep equipment rental costs down. It’s just one of those movies that could never be truly duplicated - it’s a stunning combination of the talent and inspiration of Hooper, the setting, the 1970s aesthetic and film quality, and, in many ways, the circumstances, more bad than good. There’s really no other way to say it - it’s legendary, and for good reason.
It has been highly influential on a number of other filmmakers - Wes Craven counts it as one of his five favorite movies, Ridley Scott called it one of “only a few really, really great ”, Rob Zombie has sung its praises many times. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - somehow only Tobe Hooper’s second feature film ever - is as notorious as it is brilliant. “Two siblings visit their grandfather’s grave in Texas along with three of their friends and are attacked by a family of cannibalistic psychopaths.” - IMDb
