What the fuck are you guys on?
It's one focking depressing, mean and twisted movie. It wasn't ment to be anything to do with gore and such. The down-to-earth photography and natural look of the film made it even more effective for me. It's one big bloody nightmare, makes me nervous everytime I watch it. That first scene with leatherface comes so unexpected and sudden it still scares the shit out of me. And the fact that the most killings aren't typical 'let's run and hide for ten minutes'. No, it's a hit in the head with a sledgehammer and that's it. That's proper horror, damn it!
[edit] I'm, offcourse, talking about the original one. Remake had nothing new to give, but lots of irrelevant shit thrown in. I'll stick to my precioussss dvd of the one and only tcm.
