The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Review

I saw 1974’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre for my horror marathon, the day before Halloween.

I might’ve seen this movie as a kid, I don’t remember, but I was definitely always terrified by the idea of Leatherface. As everyone knows, he’s a killer who likes to use a chainsaw, and wears his victims’ skin. He’s inspired by the real-life serial killer Ed Gein, and while Gein didn’t use a chainsaw, and didn’t have the same speech issues, he did in fact like to wear human skin.

It’s directed by Tobe Hooper, who also directed Poltergeist, which was on the marathon list, but I wasn’t able to get to it. The shot composition is great, with some amazing stand-out shots, like the skeleton sculpture Leatherface makes.

The acting is good, maybe a bit goofy at times, but I feel like that added to the psychotic feeling, especially when certain characters are expanded later on. And WOW, I didn’t expect this movie to focus so much on characters other than Leatherface. Suffice to say, this movie was also twistier than I expected.

It’s pretty well-known by now that this is a vegetarian work, and now that I’ve finally seen it as an adult, it’s really obvious. Even without knowing beforehand, I probably would’ve figured it out. The main characters explicitly discuss how horribly animals are treated in slaughterhouses. Leatherface makes bone sculptures, places his victims on a hook like animal carcasses, and there’s pig sounds when he’s killing. Hell, even him wearing human skin is a parallel to wearing animal skin, hence the name “Leatherface” even though human skin isn’t called “leather.” In fact, now that I’m thinking about it, the only reason the main characters start roaming around the countryside is because one of their family members had their grave robbed… like how humans mess around with animal corpses.

The music was made by the director himself and Wayne Bell, and is apparently one of the earliest works of genuine dark ambient music. It uses no “actual” musical instruments, and is meant to sound like what an animal would hear in a slaughterhouse. I LOVE dark ambient, and this shit slaps. It’s SO moody and industrial, it’s wonderful.

So yeah, I’m not a vegetarian, but it’s extremely clever to make a slasher where the victims represent animals, and the symbolism in general is very well-done. Guillermo del Toro became vegetarian for 4 years after seeing this, and it’s easy to see why.

This movie is also famous for making daytime feel scary, and while there is a night-time section, this is true – most of the movie is pretty bright, but still feels scary. Lots of movies have done this since (Midsommar comes to mind), but it must’ve been impressive for the 70s.

Fun side note, I love the way Leatherface acts at the end. It comes across like he’s dancing, and it feels strangely cathartic. 4.5/5

I’m sorry animals, you just taste so good and my diet is too accustomed to you ;A;
