Quotes
Now here's a grisly little item. "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is as violent and gruesome and blood-soaked as the title promises -- a real Grand Guignol of a movie. It's also without any apparent purpose, unless the creation of disgust and fright is a purpose. And yet in its own way, the movie is some kind of weird, off-the-wall achievement. I can't imagine why anyone would want to make a movie like this, and yet it's well-made, well-acted, and all too effective. — The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 — Roger EbertTrivia
