Slasher film? Counterculture art film? Proto torture porn?
Tobe dipped his hand into a well of ideas and returned with gold with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Few films manage to be as equally terrifying and gorgeous as this one. This movie should be viewed by anyone studying shot composition, period.
Perhaps most impressive is how much of the grotesque torture and cannibal-ry occurs off-screen. The sound design more than anything is perfectly utilized to induce fear…
