The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Without a doubt, the best horror ever.
1974 was a groundbreaking year in history of cinema. Previously unknown director Tobe Hooper created with only about $83,000 budget shocking image, which for decades has became the brightest hallmark for all slasher films. And he didn't need any well-known actors nor spectacular special effects.
The plot tells a story of the five friends travelling through Texas to their grandpa's old house. During a travel they pick up a suspicious hitch-hiker (which was quickly thrown out). In a short time friends are left alone in complete isolation among a family of cannibals.
Film doesn't have extreme gore or scenes which leads you to jumping out of chair. So what is the biggest advantage of the film? Atmosphere. Stifling, morbid and paranoid atmosphere. The feeling of terror has never been so real. Every aspect of 'Massacre' is filled with eerie and horrible emotions. Scenography including the real human skeleton, creepy dark ambient music or acting of a main evil character set up a shocking nightmare in which no one ever wants to be find.
Main character Leatherface is the subject of separate discussions. Retarded butcher wearing a mask made of human skin. Gunnar Hansen who played him added to an already frightening character more terror. The scene of his dance with a chainsaw is together beautiful and disturbing.
It's a pity that Tobe is making now garbage like 'Mortuary' or 'Crocodile', and he won't probably get close to a greatness of his masterpiece .It is hard to write something new that nobody knows, everything I can tell is that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a film that you should see before you die. You will never forget it...
Cemetery Gates (2006)
I can't find words to describe how much awful it is.
"Cemetery Gates" is a next low-budget monster attack/horror film, but with one exception - you won't find more awful. Plot is simple as hell, two "animal defenders" kidnap a mutated tasmanian devil, which escapes and kills everyone near an old miners cemetery. At the same time, a group of friends are making there a horror movie. You don't have to be a genius to guess who will be the victims of an animal. Appearance of a monster was supposed to be scary and frightening but it looks like a retarded bear, and is doing more laughing than goosebumps. Few words about acting. I don't know if their behaviors were serious, I haven't seen such a bad acting for a long time. Girl heard that his friends mother died by the animals attack and she reacted if she heard how to make a cherry pie. Other characters made very illogical decisions which lead them to death. Another annoying thing in this movie is primitive humor. There are few old erotic jokes that were funny in primary school. The last thing I'm going to describe is gore. It is also very bad made, blood and dismembered bodies look extremely artificial, and make you want to smile with a pity. So, avoid this crap at all costs, there are a lot better things to do than to watch it.
