the texas chainsaw massacre

1. One of the best, most original horror movies to date. If you liked something in a horror movie after TCM74, chances are it was stolen from the latter. Despite its horror credentials, TCM74 contains very little visible blood, relying on creepy imagery and unsettling, innovative music to set the mood. Followed by a string of lack-luster sequels. 2. One of the worst, most unnecessary remakes of a classic horror film in cinematic history. Take one part original, nine parts Dawson's Creek, and separate out the terrifying originality of the '74 version, and you have TCM03. It had the drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket in it, though. That was kinda cool.
