Don't put it on. It taught later movies to enjoy the slaughter.

The review

I would not put this on. Five young people run out of gas in rural Texas and meet a family that kills. The title is already the promise. It is shot to look like a document of cruelty, which lets a thrill pretend it is a record. Adult. I am not going to describe the killings.

What it trained matters more than one night. A kind of film after it learned to enjoy the slaughterhouse. If someone calls it a classic, they are talking about influence, and influence is not a reason to leave it running. The family kills, and the camera treats that as the show. Don't invite the habit into the house.

Journal

Keep The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 11. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Carrie

25 instead of 11

Carrie is still a horror film, and it scores 25 instead of 11. What you gain is truth: It tells the truth that mockery is a kind of violence.

The eight

1
Industry
Nobody's labor is a living. The family's work is killing.
1
Household
That family is a slaughterhouse, not a home anyone is meant to keep.
0
Piety
Nothing in them stops. Conscience never gets a voice.
2
Courage
The young people are hunted. Survival here is not a risk they chose.
1
Republic
Five kids out of gas meet a family that kills, and no town steps in.
1
Temperance
It launched films that enjoy the slaughterhouse, and the wanting stuck.
2
Truth
It looks like a document of cruelty, so the thrill can pose as fact.
1
Stewardship
What it left is a genre trained to like the killing.

The review

Art is not a character. He is a permission slip for a lens that will not cut away. There is no household, no joke with a point, no dare that teaches a limit. The only skill on display is a refusal to be ashamed. That is not an art a house should pay for.

People will say it is only horror and you can look away. The film's whole method is that you do not look away. Decline it once, out loud, so a younger person hears that a strong stomach is not a virtue.
