TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Review (1974)

[@jrojas2520]

We want a Dr Loomis and Leatherface reaction to the new Texas chainsaw massacre trailer. But this is awesome too. Thanks guys.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

We shall!

[@chasriley3794]

I was a kid when I watched this movie for the first time. The atmosphere gave me creeps and I loved it. Still does the same thing for me now as an adult and I still love it!

[@generaltidy5677]

Not just my favorite horror film, but my favorite film of all time. Gets better with every viewing.

[@jackcraven2266]

Almost fifty years later, and this is still an all time horror classic! It's been said before, but this is the type of horror movie which modern so-called horror masters wish they could make, because it's still very effective after all these years. It's also one of those films which makes me wish time machines are real, just so i could go back to see how crazy audiences reactions were on this film, specially since everyone back then probably thought it really was based on true story.

[@BraxtonWages]

That dinner table scene is the stuff fever dreams are made of

[@BraxtonWages]

When Jay mentioned Grandpa and John Carpenter that reminded me, remember David Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China when he’s an old man? That’s what John Carpenter looks like now!

[@mrmhj9925]

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 is how horror movies should be made. Raw and real. When a horror film is cinematic, I get immersion breaking at that point. It’s too Hollywood, and then it becomes entertainment and it’s weird because yes, I enjoy horror films as entertainment with Friday the 13th and Halloween but TCM just went there with realism. The film is truly a masterpiece in horror, I think. And yeah the sets were bad but you gotta admit, you won’t get anything like this again.

[@AaronHatcher]

I wish more people would mention texas chainsaw massacre two. It's so underrated to me. My fav is the original but the original sequel is a close second and bill moseley is iconic in it as chop top. It may be too like comedic or parody for some people but I love it.

[@jonesaundre3]

I agree but the drastic and unexpected implemented humor turned a lot of people off, it even took me a few watches before I developed a liking for it... I'd say if you go into TCM2 without attaching it to the first film it's awesome! Basically as a "stand-alone" film, I think TCM2 is one of the best.

[@jokertdk]

The Cook (Drayton Sawyer) was meant to be the oldest brother. According to the TCM Companion Book, and I believe Jim Siedow who played the Cook, mentions this as well in the documentary "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Family Portrait".

[@nickh9619]

It's amazing that The Exorcist came out in 73 and Chain Saw was 74, but yet TCM feels more grotesque & sickly

[@jakebiomask]

Scariest movie ever made for me. " I just can't take no pleasure in killin'... But there's just some things you gotta do, don't mean you have to like it."

[@jennmoslek921]

I saw an interview with Gunnar Hansen & he said he purposely went crazy swinging the chainsaw around in that final scene because Tobe Hooper was right off screen & he wanted to freak him out. I believe he said he came close to actually hitting him a couple of times & Hooper was pissed.

[@maryrobertson9349]

Jonathan u sure make a great commentator u need to do that more often mike i could see him doing that very well as well love u guys keep up the great work

[@AaronAndroid]

That intro sounded 🔥 Jay got dat podcast\creepypasta vocal💯

The special effects guy on 2003 said “ the cannibalism is not direct it’s implied “ same thing Marcus Nispel done , the one with Jordana Brewster is the direct

I will admit that I did enjoy some of the TCM sequels…but the first movie seems like it can’t be beat. Lightning in a bottle type of situation with all the points you guys made.

Thx for the Wwam fellows!! I’m stuck inside in INDIANA in this blizzard!!! I need some WWAM!!!!!!!!!

SAME its icing here!

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

It IS weird that there's only one actual chainsaw killing in the whole film.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

YES

[@razkable]

It's worse when he doesn't use the chainsaw..that hammer is scary and the hook omg

[@Ted_Stryker]

This film set such a precedence for horror with it's grittiness. Still get that same dirty feeling no matter how many times I watch it. Great analysis guys. 👍 Also, apparently everyone from the country smells like butthole and Cheetos. #Themoreyouknow

[@jasonphelps4773]

The original scared the bejesus out of me. That shot of Leatherface slamming that metal sliding door shut freaked me out more than anything

[@TheVizions]

He’s wearing his dead MOTHERS face in the new trailer! THATS INSANE!!!!!

[@maryrobertson9349]

u guys r so awesomely entertaining love it

[@oskar_oskarewicz]

Oh TCM, definite horror masterpiece. Maybe it's a shame but I have seen the OG for the first time right after Tobe Hooper's passing, to honor the man. But hey, better late than never. I loved it right away. It's immersive, it's raw, it's disturbing as f*ck but also funny in a tragic way. Perfect flick. Cheers guys!

[@jerryl2627]

Got to visit the house (which is now a cafe in another location), and the gas station the other day (went there twice in 3 days). Recommend visiting those locations if you can - the gas station is actually having a Weird Science cast reunion at the end of the month. Joe Bob and Darcy are going to be there (along with some other special guests). Sounds fun, but I'm going back home in a few days.

[@nothingatall9960]

I love When u guys are Michael and loomies too😂😂😂🤣🤣 makes my days better

This movie fuckin slaps. Horrific stuff without even being actually horrifically bloody.

[@Thathorrorguy12FU]

Oh yeah we were all baked and watched Franklin roll down the hill at the beginning and rewind it then watch it over and over. Laughing to death!

[@noahfredenburg182]

thank you guys for another amazing video❤️😍

[@travisjames5]

I remember watching this when I was 8 years old. And afterwards my grandma was telling me that it was a true story and she has been to Travis County, Texas. Me as a kid thinking she was the surviving girl in the end. Lol

[@Thathorrorguy12FU]

I bet Mike looks hilarious taking a shit! LMFAO 😂😂😂

[@Thathorrorguy12FU]

He did the "She got away Bitch Dance!"

[@Tony-bf3tf]

This one seemed more like a documentary than a movie it was like it really happened in real life I think that's what made it scary I think that's how they need to do the other ones

[@planbrent]

Thr scene with the grandfather also made me question whether they knew something about longevity through their habits, obviously morally inexcusable, but it made you think, oh does this make you live longer?

[@officalhumblefish565]

That dinner table scene is beyond uncomfortable for me, I can never sit still while it's on.

[@fleetwoodmacncheese4159]

All the actors worked in the extreme heat and worked around real roadkill. 😳 A lot of them got sick and were traumatized because of the conditions. It was so bad the woman who played the girl on the meat hooks stopped acting and won't talk about the movie. I could feel the grossness. It's mentally difficult to watch. It's my all time favorite horror movie still. I can also say driving through Central Texas scared the absolute crap out of me as a kid because of these movies.

[@Thathorrorguy12FU]

It is already a complete classic. Jay's right

Mike it was a Mob backed movie... the wheelchair guy had one of the only check he was payed in the VAN Scene. in his pocket.

And the person who played grandpa was a young dude. No Grandpa was the best killer back in his time.

[@markfarrens7733]

When her brother gets chainshawed in the wheelchair it was the first time I felt true horror

[@michaelshane5882]

I'm sure there's more to the story of them getting paid or lack thereof then what they are letting on after the fact. They probably all just agreed to a small amount and then when the movie with more successful than any of them thought it would be they were just pissy that they didn't get a bigger piece of the pie so they decided to slander those involved

[@alexsmith3306]

Personally, for me, I thought the 2003 version was a lot scarier and dirty. In the original, I can kinda see where hooper was going trying to make it a dark comedy because I find it a bit funny in some parts, still a classic, but 2003 is more disturbing in my opinion.

Hopefully it’s a good movie

It freaks people out but what's more disturbing is this movie is based on a real life event that happened in Texas

[@Thathorrorguy12FU]

Yes Gunner Hansen absolutely did run that fast dude. And with a real live running chainsaw. If he tripped and fell running like that he would have been fucked.

[@anthonylakich1727]

and the movie makes you want to take a show after the 1st time you see it and I HAVE NEVER felt like that with any other Horror movie and i've seen ALOT of Horror movies. Jay gets it it's got a Real Ness or as we us't to say Greetyness Movies now just can't get even with tons and mean TONS of blood.

[@squirrelconsole7355]

First saw TCM 74 when was young, really freaked me out, love the film though, a great horror film. But always felt bad for Franklin, always thought he had special needs, and the others abandoned him, did want him to survive though.

[@sepultura7771]

I don’t know why they had Sally treat him like such shit, like she really wanted to leave him there all alone with no flashlight or nothing, I always wondered was there a reason for that,like a deeper meaning or something

They were all brothers.

[@brandonlamb216]

Lmfao - Leatherface got jump scared.

[@briocheswag6781]

Lemme know if you dig this idea. What if when the girl gets in the back of the truck and the film "ends", we never see her again because that truck is yet another member of the family and that idea J brought up about her never making it out comes true? Like every time she escapes, we just keep seeing how big the influence of the Sawyer family is get bigger and bigger. The ending of the movie doesn't give a hopeful feeling to it and while many horror movies don't, this one gives a different kinda vibe to why there is no hope. Almost like there was no real ending to it. I think it'd be terrifying just to see that pick-up truck somehow belong to the Sawyers and all that hope that the girl may have had, especially after her psychological break, come crashing down once more and maybe this finally being the time where she dies or worse.

[@sepultura7771]

For me, in this particular movie and watching it all how it played out, I prefer the happy ending

Okay my question. Which one of you gets more drunk before and while you guys make these videos? I'm going with Mike. He's always got the red cup, and he's always swilling that shit down. Big mug for Jay tonight. So is it a tie, who's the bigger drunk?

[@BWSBwoi]

I'm a long time horror fan(basicly since childhood)and I watched TCM for the first time today. The movie made me feel gross and it was sadic at times, I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who felt like that lol For the year it was made and the budget I can understand why so many call it a classic now. You don't get to see movies like these being made today, maybe due to political correctness or who knows. Not saying I enjoyed it or something, but I can respect it for what it is.

[@minelliradney9132]

True story but it happened during the 50s not 70s There was a mother with 2 mental sons There was not a large family of them. It was 3 Ed Gaines was his real name...and he died during the 80s Convicted only if one murder All other bodies multilated. Chopped up. No one could count this mess

Did you say yout, what the hells a yout!! OH im sorry the YOUTH'S your honor!!!

[@richardmohr9218]

Just saying. "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is, without a doubt, the best movie title ever. It's not really the word 'chainsaw', or even 'massacre'. A game I have played with my friends: Try using any other place name in the title other than 'Texas'. For some reason absolutely no other location on earth has the same impact. Why is that?....... Try it!

[@christopherparslow7837]

Scream 6 is offical..mike

[@Thathorrorguy12FU]

Gunpowder he burned the pic.And yes Domonik Brass or something he was the guy from Friday 5 the fat guy who gets chopped up. But the real fucked up thing is that Feldman remained friends with the guy. And he actually made a cop comedy movie and casted that guy who molested Haim. And he had already casted Haim. So knowing what he knew, he casted Haim to work with the guy who fucked his life up and made him work with him for a job. Some friend huh? Yeah they weren't as good friends as ppl thought. They were for a short time. But Feldman has been dragging Haim's corpse around now to make money off it. He actually wanted to film Haim's wake for the finale of their reality series for the end. And seriously there's so much fucked up shit Feldman did to his "BFF". So many lies. He was actually really jealous that Haim was getting his roles. I watched the truth about them and it's really fucked.
