CUT to pieces!.......2006-12-25
DO NOT BUY THIS DISC!
I watched this years ago on VHS and was very impressed. Owning a multisystem DVD player, I figured I would go ahead and get the PAL version.
The movie is not only severely cut, missing important scenes and lines, but whenever someone curses, the volume goes way down. Absolutely AWFUL!
one of the best serial killer flicks ever made.......2006-07-22
The late, great art director Robert A. Burns (who worked on the original TCM) turns in a perfectly convincing performance as a serial killer. Too bad he didn't do more acting. I'll say this as well: one of the biggest reasons the 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre works so well is due to the genius of Robert A. Burns' magnificent art direction.
Director/writer Mark Blair shows tremendous talent here as well. This is another talented filmmaker who is no longer around--and it's a great loss, because this guy, with this one film, puts so many of these "masters of horror" directors to
shame.
The only (slight) negative is that the film was shot a bit on the dark side, and you won't find any extras on the DVD, other than a couple of lame trailers for a couple of lame flicks.
More horror fans should know about this one. Even though the gore isn't piled on, you get a more authentic portrait of real life serial killer Henry Lee Lucus than they showed in the John McNaughton version.
Still, both films worked for me.
Best of all the serial killer films.......2005-05-11
Precisely because of its "artless" low-key low-budget qualities this is the best of all the serial killer films. It's creepy, sleazy, sordid, grotesque, disgusting & banal - exactly as the real people & events depicted must be. The casting is perfectly on-target as are the acting, sets, etc. If you want a taste of what life is like for these guys this must be as close as it gets.
Scary because it is realistic.......2005-05-02
I had seen this movie on cable many years ago, couldn't forget it, and searched to find it.
No-it doesn't have a succinct (predictable) plot line. It is the randomness of the murders that is truly cautionary. A girl hitchhiking, a woman whose car has stalled, a woman with a broken air-condition, and so on.
The scenes are intense. Generally the women become leery-and their fear is palpable. They try to extract themselves from the situation, but generally fail.
The scene where a girl is attempting to escape through a field had me on the edge of my seat. As a matter of fact, every scene where I could see a murder coming did. "Hollywood" horror flicks do not affect me so. I routed for the escape of the victims, but to little or no avail.
In my estimation, the directing was right on, as was the acting. I prefer realism for intensity.
This movie stands on its own. Why must it follow the book?
Not That Good.......2002-12-23
Supposedly based upon the story of Henry Lee Lucas, one of the most notorious serial killers in history, the film starts out well, but soon degenerates into a typical low-budget slasher movie,with a script so fictionalized that all resemblance to the story upon which it is alleged based is soon lost. The plot goes nowhere, and the abrupt ending leaves the viewer wondering if the creators simply ran out of ideas. It's unfortunate that the screenwriters responsible for turning out the script failed to realize that fact is far more interesting than fiction. Don't waste your time on this sorry excuse for a film.
