With the recent release of its 2022 sequel on Netflix, we thought it was time we looked at the often referenced horror classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, directed by Tobe Hooper, and see what we can do to survive it.Loosely based on the crimes of real-life serial killer Ed Gein, it tells the story of a group of young friends who discover a family of crazed, murderous outcasts living in rural Texas. As the group is picked off one by one by the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen), the survivors must do everything they can to escape.
While it initially drew a mixed reception from critics, it has since gained a reputation as one of the best and most influential horror films of all time and has been credited with originating several elements common in the slasher film genre.
