Description of this Texas Chainsaw Massacre Poster
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a 1974 American horror film produced and directed by Tobe Hooper from a story and screenplay by Hooper and Kim Henkel. It stars Marilyn Burns, Paul A. Partain, Edwin Neal, Jim Siedow and Gunnar Hansen, who play Sally Hardesty, Franklin Hardesty, the Hitchhiker, the Landlord and Leatherface respectively. The film follows a group of friends who fall victim to a family of cannibals while on their way to visit an old estate. The film was presented as being based on true events in order to attract a wider audience and act as a subtle commentary on the political climate of the time. Although the character of Leatherface and some story details were inspired by the crimes of murderer Ed Gein, the plot is largely fictional. It is the first film in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.
Hooper produced the film for less than $140,000 ($800,000 when accounting for inflation) and used a cast of relatively unknown actors drawn primarily from Central Texas, where the film was filmed. The limited budget forced Hooper to shoot for long hours, seven days a week, in order to complete the film as quickly as possible and reduce equipment rental costs. Due to the film's violent content, Hooper had difficulty finding a distributor, but the film was eventually purchased by Louis Perano of the Bryanston Distributing Company. Hooper limited the amount of gore on screen in hopes of achieving a PG rating, but the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) rated it R. The film encountered similar difficulties internationally, being banned in several countries, and many cinemas stopped showing it in response to complaints about its violence.
Although The Texas Chainsaw Massacre received mixed reception from critics, it was very profitable, grossing over $30 million at the domestic box office, equivalent to approximately $150.8 million in 2019, and having sold over 16.5 million tickets in 1974. It has since gained a reputation as one of the best and most influential horror films. He is credited with the authorship of several elements common to the slasher genre, including the use of power tools as murder weapons, the characterization of the killer as a tall, heavy-built masked figure, and the assassination of the victims. The film spawned a franchise that continued the story of Leatherface and his family through sequels, prequels, a remake, comic books, and video games.
In the early morning of August 18, 1973, a grave robber stole several remains from a cemetery near Newt, Muerto County, Texas. The thief attaches a decomposing corpse and other body parts to a monument, creating a grisly spectacle which is discovered by a local resident just as the sun rises.
Five young people cross the region in a van: Sally Hardesty, Jerry, Pam, Kirk and Franklin, Sally's disabled brother. They stop at the cemetery to check on Sally and Franklin's grandfather's grave, which appears intact. As the group passes a slaughterhouse, Franklin recounts the Hardesty family's history with animal slaughter. They pick up a hitchhiker who tells them that his own family also resorted to animal slaughter. When the group refuses to pay the hitchhiker for a photo, he attacks Franklin and smears a bloody symbol on the side of the van before being ejected. Out of gas, the van stops at a station where the owner says there is no fuel available. The group explores a nearby abandoned house owned by the Hardesty family.
Kirk and Pam leave the others behind, planning to make love. They discover another neighboring house, where gas generators are working. Hoping to trade gas, Kirk enters the house. A large man wearing a skin mask attacks Kirk with a hammer, killing him. When Pam enters the house, she finds the living room littered with human and animal bones. The man grabs him, impales him on a meat hook and turns on a gas chainsaw to dismember Kirk's body in front of Pam. In the evening, Jerry goes looking for Pam and Kirk. When he enters the other house, he finds Pam's body, almost dead and shaking, in a freezer. The masked man kills Jerry with a hammer.
At night, Sally and Franklin head to the other house. The masked man ambushes them and kills Franklin with a chainsaw. The man chases Sally into the house, where she finds an apparently dead old man and the decomposing corpse of a woman. The masked man chases Sally to the gas station and disappears. The station owner comforts Sally for a while, then he beats and overpowers her, and puts her in his van. The owner goes to the other house and the hitchhiker appears. The owner berates him for his actions at the cemetery, identifying the hitchhiker as the grave robber. When they enter the house, the masked man reappears, dressed as a woman. The owner identifies the masked man and the hitchhiker as brothers, and the hitchhiker calls the masked man "Leatherface". The two brothers bring the old man - "Grandpa" - down the stairs and cut off Sally's finger so Grandpa can suck her blood. Sally faints.
The next morning, Sally regains consciousness. The men mock her and bicker among themselves, deciding to kill her with hammers. They try to involve Grandpa in the activity, but Grandpa's grip is weak and he drops the hammer several times. Sally breaks free and runs down a road in front of the house, pursued by the brothers. A truck driving in the opposite direction accidentally runs over the hitchhiker, killing him. The truck driver attacks Leatherface with a large wrench, injuring him, and flees on foot. Sally, covered in blood, flags down a passing pickup truck and climbs into the dumpster, narrowly escaping Leatherface. As the van drives away, Sally laughs out loud. Leatherface swings his chainsaw in frustration as the sun rises.
