The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – The Seriously Ultimate Edition [Blu-ray] [1974]

Posted by Notcot on May 20, 2012 in Cult Film
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Seriously Ultimate Edition [Blu-ray] [1974]

This sensational, extremely influential, 1974 low-budget horror movie directed by Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist, Lifeforce, Salem’s Lot), may be notorious for its title, but it’s also a damn fine piece of moviemaking. And it’s blood-curdling scary, too. Loosely based on the true crimes of Ed Gein (also a partial inspiration for Psycho), the original Jeffrey Dahmer, Texas Chainsaw Massacre follows a group of teenagers who pick up a hitchhiker and wind up in a backwoods horror chamber where they’re held captive, tortured, chopped up, and impaled on meat hooks by a demented cannibalistic family, including a character known as Leatherface who maniacally wields one helluva chainsaw. The movie’s powerful sense of dread is heightened by its grainy, semi-documentary style–but it also has a wicked sense of humour (and not that camp, self-referential variety that became so tiresome in subsequent horror films of the 70s, 80s and 90s). OK, in case you couldn’t tell, it’s “not for everyone”, but as a landmark in the development of the horror/slasher genre, it ranks with Psycho, Halloween, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. –Jim Emerson

SAMPLE ENTRY:

“What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?”
 

The Mortal Instruments series was inspired out of a daily encounter, just like any other author who conceived their ideas mostly with the environment and people they meet in life.
Cassandra Clare has a certain fascination which she claims she never had: Tattoos. She believes the Ancient Runes within this pigmentation where warriors cover their bodies with symbols and images, but the inspiration did not happen within a snap. The fascination for tattoos was even more solidified when a friend of hers who is a tattoo artist gave her a tour in her new shop in New York. There was a unique tradition in the tattoo parlor…
