The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

En route to visit their grandfather’s grave, five teenagers drive past a slaughterhouse, pick up (and quickly drop) a sinister hitch-hiker, eat some delicious home-cured meat at a roadside gas station, before ending up at the old family home…where they’re plunged into a never-ending nightmare as they meet a family of cannibals who more than make up in power tools what they lack in social skills.

AroView: Unbearable tension builds when a group of teens are preyed upon by a notoriously psychotic family in the squalid atmosphere of the Deep South. The unpleasant mayhem is somehow brilliantly compelling, making it one of the most gruelling movies ever made.
