I agree. The realism and disturbing feel it has makes it a great movie.

well, it's based on actual events, I wouldn't go as far as calling it a true story.
The actual event is Ed Gein, and that is about as far as it goes.

This and the remake are so different. I wonder which one is closer to the truth. :think:

I'd say the Original. I loved the dinner table scene where they nailed her fingers to the chair and grandpa was trying to knock her in the head with the hammer while they held her head over the bucket.  Important scenes like that were truly missed for me personally when it came to the remake. But if you think about it why really go there I don't think anyody can do it as better as the original cast members did. |

Why is it that I can't seem to find the original TCM? I did find pt. 2 & 3, finally, on Columbia House DVD.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre I don´t think I have will ever see this art of work again!(Along with HalloweeN) Tobe Hopper really knows how to create a Perfect Horror movie. The eerie sounds, A Chainsaw weilding maniac wearing a mask made of skin, A Cannibal family. Can it get any better?! A true Masterpiece in Gothic and Bizarre Horror films. 10/10

Well, I give this movie 5 out of 5 stars to. Also Puppet Master I like it that the killer is based on the real life killer Ed Gein out of my home state.

I give this one a 3/5.
I'm not as big on TCM as most people are. This one was "ok" but it had too many ignorant, flat out cheesy parts in it. The guy in the wheel chair who sits there and talks about "WHAM, HIT EM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!" through the _entire_ fucking movie and then the part where they're just sitting in the van looking at each other for 5 minutes. Followed by the nutjob who just cuts his hand for no apparent reason.
I mean, it's like a Hellraiser. Just a clusterfuck of insane moments and very little substance.

This and the remake are so different. I wonder which one is closer to the truth.  Actually, neither one is very close to the actual events the movie is based on. Ed Gien wasn't a cannibal, his family wasn't nuts and he didn't kill most of his victims. Gien was the ultimate momma's boy. She kept him away from the public, kept him out of school and basically he didn't know of a world outside of his little shack in Wisconsin. When she died he fell apart and got really lonely. So he'd go dig up graves and bring the remains back to his house and sit them around his kitchen table. They were his "friends". He didn't start killing until a salesman came to his house and he didn't want him to leave. He didn't eat the guy and he didn't chainsaw him up. Now, one nutball thing he did do which Thomas Harris based his Buffalo Bill character off ot [Silence of the Lambs} was he took loose skin from his "victims" and tried to make a mother suit. That way he could dress up as his mother. Gien was doomed from the start in all honesty. It should be considered child abuse what his mother did to him -- even if it was in a loving capacity. She basically raised him to be incapable of operating alone in soceity. And thus we get this sick, twisted fella. His "story" has influenced a lot of movies, truth be told. Although none have been 100% factual cinematic biographies. His story have influenced: Anthony Bates in Psyho, Leatherface in TCM and Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. He's also quoted as being a loose reference for The Hills Have Eyes. But to say TCM is based off true events? Hardly. |

When I was a kid this was the scariest movie I had ever seen. It incorporated everything a movie needed, teenagers, Creepy setting, eerie sounds, disgusting scene shots, and most of all a guy wearing a mask killing everyone!
This ranks at the very top of all time faves for me.

Ed Gien wasn't a cannibal, Gein was a cannibal. I once read that his neighboors claimed he was constantly bringing them portion of venicen and later confessed to never having shot a deer in his life. Overall I'd say Tomas Hewit is slightly closer to the real Gein. |

That doesnt mean he was a cannibal, it meant he was trying to feed it to his neigbors.
He collected skin and bones, but I never recall hearing anything about him being a cannibal.

Everything I've read on him has said he was a cannibal. This is a quote from a bok I have:
" in 1957 Ed Gein, an unwed, middle-aged farmer from Plainfeild, Wisconsin, confessed to stealing as dozen female from fresh graves in the comuntity cemitary.Although the necrophagic (ghoul) returned most of the body parts after he had dismembered the bodies, he kept a collection of sex organs and noses in a box. Like a true ghoul, Gein was disposed to nibble at some of the chociest bits and peices he carved from the bodies and also saved up 10 of the skulls as his special companions. not to waste anything, Gein apolstrered some of the skin to his furniture."
That mentions nothing about his skin mask or anyof the other clothing he made, so I guess I'm not sure.
