DO NOT SEE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE

**Samwich** · 10-19-2003, 01:10 AM

I don't like cut-em'-up movies as a general rule... i'm not fond of gratuitous violence. The people with me, however, wanted to see Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I just got home. Just for the record, i am not a little bitch, i don't scare easily, and, although i find it distasteful, movie violence does not generally bother me.

This movie is seriously demented and depraved. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a terrible incident. I am not quite sure how the american public should handle the incident. It shouldn't be forgotten, but it shouldn't be glorified either. It certainly should not be made into a movie.

Without factoring in content, the movie would just be mediocre. It was pretty well done, i suppose, but the cinematography was lacking, as were other areas. All it accomplishes is showcasing all the gory, horrible details of a real-life nightmare.

I don't even know what I'm trying to say... this movie is too fucked up for words. Even if you are a fan of violence, i don't see how this movie could be considered entertainment. The only way you can enjoy this movie is if you are a seriously depraved sadist. It was horrible. I won't sleep tonight, and i will have nightmares for weeks. I wish that I had gone home instead of seeing this.

DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE. There are plenty of other movies out right now that are supposed to be good. Jesus i'm rattled. The fact that this was a real incident... what the fuck is wrong with this world.

Oh, and they have REAL footage in the movie of REAL people dying horribly.

I honestly feel sick. What can i do to take my mind off of this?

Now you know this movie was made for the first time in 1974, don't ya? I'm just saying the idea of making a movie out of it isn't new.

before you get all "War of the Worlds" on us, you should also know that it isn't really a "true" story. thats just part of the gimmick. it [i]is[\i], however, based loosely on the serial killer Ed Gein, who also loosely inspired "Psycho" and "Silence of the Lambs."

**funkendrenchman** · 10-19-2003, 01:25 AM

As scoober said, "It's the documentarylike quality that allowed the filmmakers—for both the original and this week's remake—to fib in the promotional material that Chainsaw is based on "true" events. In fact, it's based only slightly on the serial killer Ed Gein, who inspired Psycho and Thomas Harris' The Silence of the Lambs."

Did you also think that "The Blair Witch Project" was also true?

No. I guess they fooled me... I was really rattled, and ready to believe pretty much anything. I also didn't know that it was only loosely based on real events. I did know that this is the second time it has been made into a movie.

I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but watching horrific dismemberment is not my idea of fun. I really regret seeing it. I guess it's not so bad now that I know that it didn't really happen like that, but it's still pretty bad... and you have to ask yourself who is fucking sick enough to come up with all that shit?

Whatever. I'm an idiot.

It wasn't? But Lorissa McComas is so convincing.

According to an article on MSN.com, the filmmaker who made the original claimed it was a reaction to Watergate and Vietnam. I don't think he's telling the whole truth there.

And you're not an idiot, Samwich. Only Geronimo! and Mr. Pound Key decide who are the idiots and morons.

**Samwich** · 10-19-2003, 11:27 AM

Plakespear: You mean to tell me that I don't even have the power to decide whether I'm an idiot or not? Damn it!

The guy sitting next to me was high out of his mind (it was kinda funny, he was a complete stranger and he kept apologizing to me for screaming... "I'm so sorry, man, but you have to know, dude, that I'm, like, totally blazed man.") and he lost it. At the end of the movie, he just sat there, eyes glued to the screen, really pale, and shaking.

Did they work in the Ramones song with the same title?

What an understatement. That is a pretty disturbing read. I had never really heard of that guy before.

There was a belt fashioned from carved-off nipples, a chair upholstered in human skin, the crown of a skull used as a soup-bowl, lampshades covered in flesh pilled taut, a table propped up by a human shinbones, and a refrigerator full of human organs. The four posts on Gein's bed were topped with skulls and a human head hung on the wall alongside nine death-masks - the skinned faces of women - and decorative bracelets made out of human skin. The stunned searchers also uncovered a soup bowls fashioned from skulls, a shoebox full of female genitalia, faces stuffed with newspapers and mounted like hunting trophies on the walls, and a "mammary vest" flayed from the torso of a woman. Gein later confessed that he enjoyed dressing himself in this and other human-skin garments and pretending he was his own mother.

Shit

What is it with the high proportion of creepy serial killers in Wisconsin?

Gein in Plainfield and Dahmer in Milwaukee. Ugh.

**Mcwop** · 10-19-2003, 04:39 PM

Already seen the original. Why not see the remake? But I will wait for the DVD.

Its that steady diet of Blatz beer.

Tobe Hooper is one of my favorite horror/slasher/psychokiller film directors. I loved the original Texas Chainsaw film. In it, the actual violence was minimal. It was the threat/anticipation of violence that spooked you.

Salem's Lot was a great Hooper film as was The Funhouse. I didn't care much for Poltergeist though.

**snowsprite** · 10-21-2003, 08:51 AM

Samwich, the fact that this movie makes you ill makes you okay in my book!

That said, I do like really freaky and horrifying movies. But there is such a thing as going too far. I believe stuff like this is sick. However there is some wierd draw to it. It's like watching a train wreck. You can't stop...but you probably should. It can't be good for you in large doses.
