“DON’T TOUCH MY ELBOW!”
- Hannah.
You guys never fail to crack me up 😂🫶🏻
I hate that too.
When someone touches me every time they go to say something.
Drives me nuts.
I'm gonna say it
the movie is loosly based on grave robber/double murder (maybe triple murder) Ed Gein (from Wisconsin in the 1950’s) he is also the inspiration for “Psycho” and “Silence of the lambs”
I was cracking up, it was so chaotic 🤣
14:07 You're welcome.
The ending is one of the most iconic and terrifying scenes ever.
To say it's iconic is selling it short. It's legendary. To the point where it has even been referenced or outright re-enacted in a couple of Japanese anime, of all things. True definition of a classic.
It wasn't as scary as it was unhinged 😂
This movie was more silly than scary
I didn't get the ending 😅 it was weird
Yep
Fun fact about this movie and my family: Tobe Hooper, the director, actually asked my uncle who was fresh out of film school in Austin, TX to be his lead camera man for this film. My uncle declined because he felt the film would be a failure. For so many years, every time someone would reference The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in my uncle's presence, he would simply stand up and walk out of the room. Lol
that shit is funny as fuck i would abuse this power so much if he was my uncle 🤣
Ooof big L to your uncle, my condolences 😂 poor guy. If it's any consolation, just the fact that he was asked must mean he's a very skilled cameraman, enough so that someone with a fairly avante garde vision for it's time trusted that he'd be able to roll with the punches that this production had to offer. There's no way he could have know what a masterpiece this film would have been. If I only knew the basic concept, I probably would have assumed it was just another armature slasher film also 😅
This is based on a true story of Ed Gien. He was mostly a grave robber with his whole house full of human bones & human skin. The authorities couldn't believe what they saw when they entered his home. But they were even more shocked when they looked behind a secret wall. They found his mother's room in perfect order and the corpse of his mother in a chair. That's where Alfred Hitcock got his inspiration for the movie " Psycho ".
Ed was the one you could almost feel sorry for. Seemed more legitimately crazy than evil.
@ct6852 well , I watched bio on him. He had a brother , but he died. His mother was very abusive when Ed was a kid. And his mother had become the world to him. I won't go into detail , because what went on was very disturbing .
@@guitarman8462 Oh I didn't know the mom was abusive. I thought it was the dad, or her boyfriend, and she tried to protect him. I know he was obsessed with her...like in Psycho.
@ct6852 that's why I didn't put the other weird & disturbing things he did with pigs and his mom. One of the things was , his mom wanted him to stay a virgin. That's one thing that drove him insane and fall in love with his mother. And that's where Alfred Hitchock got the idea gor Phsyco .
@@ct6852 if you feel any sympathy for ed gein seek therapy
Hannah has come a long way in her tolerance for horror. No buckets. :) Well done.
Let them review "A Serbian Film" and we'll see Several buckets I think. ROFLMAO!
@@dokidaddy1056I actually suggested that like last year.🤣 Saló is another one. Martyrs is another good one. And The Devil's Rejects, clearly some inspiration from Texas Chainsaw and a banging soundtrack.💯
@@dokidaddy1056 Fright Night (1985) and Fright Night 2 (1988) would be a good watch too. It's a fun ride with too notch practical effects. Lost Boys is another, The Fly starring Jeff Goldblum is a must. Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight. And some anthologies like Tales from the Darkside The Movie, Twilight Zone The Movie, Tales from the Hood (But it touches on some deeper darker subjects particularly about some of the black community issues in the US.) Thing we currently still hear about today.
@@dokidaddy1056 There is NO WAY ON EARTH they would do those films (A Serbian Film, Saló, etc.) XD If they started them at all, they would be turned off so fast XD Ash might continue reacting, but Hannah would absolutely not watch.
@@sagittarius420cheefie Devils Rejects is inspired byTexas Chainsaw? If you haven't already watch House Of 1000 Corpses which is a straight up homage to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Devils Rejects is a direct sequel to that.
Fun Fact: The actors and crew of this film actually lived in these conditions making the movie in the 110+ degree Texas heat and they had no way to wash their clothes. Gunnar Hansen, leatherface's actor, was said to have smelled so bad that the crew avoided him when having lunch and most of the filming. Plus, the dirty rag that the cook put in Sally's mouth as a gag was an actual dirty rag used to clean meat. I have so much respect for the cast and crew for everything they had to do to get this masterpiece made.
Also, this film is so raw. Sometimes low budget horror has this sense of realism that's hard to replicate.
They also got paid very little as the Mob, who funded this film through a fake company, took every last cent.
Also the actor who played the hitchhiker fought in Vietnam and said something to the effect of he'd rather go back there than film this movie again
Another fun fact is that Marilyn Burns (Sally) ran very slowly, so in the chase scene they had to ask Gunnar to run slower than her.
Low budget horror movies are THE BEST.
Its also in the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art, New York
This movie look is so nasty and real, almost feels like a snuff film. The atmosphere is just top level even all these years later
EXACTLY. It’s not really rewatchable but you got to admit, for it’s genre, it’s a masterpiece
That's what Rob Zombie said when he saw this movie for the first time.
@@clarencewalker3925 it’s true… even today… most movies of that era look low budget compared to today’s aesthetic but the grainy contrast makes this movie look real as hell
bear in mind that this movie came out in 1974, exept for "The Exorcist" (that came out in 1973), Nothing like this had ever been seen in movie theaters before. It was instantly infamous for it's shock value
Silly garbage movie. Funny more than scary
After nearly 50 years it's still one of the greatest horror films ever made.
The ending scene is perfect the way she maniacally laughs as they drive away and Leatherface does his chainsaw dance 👌
Fun fact: The actor who played “The Hitchhiker” Ed Neal had just finished serving in Vietnam before filming this movie and has said that he’d rather experience Vietnam again to ever relive shooting the dinner scene.
@shalashaska9295 And another fact he based his performance on his nephew who had schizophrenia.
Pov: you watched dead meat
This is the first time I've see Ash just as horrified as Hannah.
Mate FACTS!!
It was over the second he saw the hook, ive only watched reactions to this movie and seeing that hook and realizing whats coming is just insane
Ed Gein was the inspiration for Norman Bates, Leatherface, and Buffalo Bill. Crazy that three iconic villains came from one guy.
Can always tell when Hannah is stressed when she calls Ash by his government name 😂😂
"Oh Ashkan!" 😅
😂😂😂😂 this is so true
@@justtrustashou kept pronouncing ed gein's name wrong though ash. I cringed everytime. Love you guys
@@justtrustash can you react to “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2” released in 1986
@@justtrustash the movie is loosly based on grave robber/double murder (maybe triple murder) Ed Gein (from Wisconsin in the 1950’s) he is also the inspiration for “Psycho” and “Silence of the lambs”
@@charleyblack101 It doesn't matter.
From Leatherface’s perspective, he was just defending his home from intruders
Excessive force.
Stand your ground laws. Can't blame the guy with all these damned hippies just walking into his house.
A shotgun to the chest is defending your home. Chasing a girl and putting her on a meat hook not so much.
@@cpob2013 iq so low, is intellectually disabled. raised by constant, extreme abuse.
youtube commenter expects him to understand the concept of "excessive force"
lewl.
You two turn horror movies into comedies because I can't stop laughing! 🤣
fun fact: i had to wipe my screen after a spit take due to laughing out loud.
Same I can't stop laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's because this movie is more silly than scary
hahaha the way Hannah looks at Ash and says "get him out the car" like Ash is driving. fucking love these two.
"A guy that big and out of shape could not be running like that." Except he could, and he did... whilst tripping balls on acid.
Gunnar Hanson the actor playing Leatherface, kept catching up to Sally's actor. To be fair she was running blind into tree branches and such.
At the end of the shoot, the iconic daylight escape scene, Gunnar had already dropped a ton of acid bts and was still catching up to her, with a real working chainsaw. Working conditions on this shoot were something else I tell ya h'what. 😂
Is that why he was dancing in the light of a sunrise with a chainsaw? Lol.
@@ct6852pretty much 😂
I see. So that explains leathersfaces crazy dancing with chainsaw ending. Trippin
This film was like a shotgun blast to the face of American moviegoers in 1974. Nobody up to that point was exposed to the kind of raw terror that this film portrayed (The Exorcist could be another example of this, but in a different way).
That raw power is STILL felt to this day. A true testament to the genius of Tobe Hooper.
Agreed!
I agree.
When you compare movies from the 60's...America/Hollywood really looks like it was going through some stuff. Lol.
@@Antonio-Gransci True. Just read that some of the actors were vets that just returned. But always got the sense that this was more of a twisted commentary on the culture war as much as the war itself. But both were entwined obviously.
@@ct6852 During the 50s and 60s the "Golden Age" of Hollywood was on a decline. Movies were bloated, expensive, pretentious, overly sanitized, and nobody was watching them anymore (preferring to watch shows on the newfangled TV instead). So the studios decided to downsize the industry, and began hiring younger, inexperienced filmmakers while giving the old guys the boot. The movies that began to come out in the early 70s were cheaper, grittier, darker, more realistic... and audiences loved them.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was one of those films, and it became the benchmark for modern horror that still influences the genre to this day.
Being from Texas.... I proudly state that this is the BEST reaction to this Masterpiece of a film that I have seen yet.. Thank you both.
An interesting fact, is that Gunnar Hansen's performance as Leatherface wasn't just about donning a mask and carrying on a chainsaw; No, but the director of the film Tobe Hooper gave the actor free rein to interpret his role as he wanted and gave Leatherface the personality he desired.
Because of this, Hansen chose that Leatherface would be a mentally disabled and speechless man; This is why before filming his scenes the actor visited an asylum several times in order to learn the movements and behaviors of the admitted patients.
some of the human skeletons were real because the crew found that purchasing real bones from India was less expensive than buying realistic plastic ones
"International treaty, all skeletons come from India."
@@XenogearSolid -Return of The Living Dead
I'm sorry... India?
First time I saw this movie was at a backyard Halloween movie party, and homegirls dad ran out at the end scene with a real chain saw running and I almost full on shit my pants. Love this movie 😂😂😂 also Michelle my bell is a Beatles song reference
That is Top 10 of greatest things I've ever read.
That's cold. Lol.
Lmao that's a dad that never truly grew up in his heart. Saw the opportunity to scare tf out of everyone and was all in.
That is an amazing Dad.
I remember when this movie came out, theaters began refusing to show it. It never even came to my town. Luckily some guy at the university was able to smuggle in a copy, charged admission, and showed in one of the classrooms one night. You could bring alcohol and weed. So here we all were, sitting in student seats, drunk and high AF, watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre!
Ash is critical of the man with the big forehead, but Hannah is empathetic as always, and only worries about his wellbeing 💕😂
I was teen in the 70’s and with all the serial killers around, my parents kept a tight hold on me. A lot of my friends were hitchhiking and I was so afraid for them.
The fact that they based majority of this off Ed Gein was so well done that ending to this day gives me chills I don’t know if she’s laughing because she snapped or because she’s happy she got away
Probably a bit of both. Kinda like Uma Thurman at the end of kill Bill 2. She was laughing and crying simultaneously. Emotions after crazy ish come out in many ways usually at the same time. And sometimes the same expression can be for different reasons.
@ACinemafanatic I would say it was a combination of the two ! 🤔😜🙏🙏 by all accounts the actors and crew all said how hellish it was to make this and even the finger cutting scene 👆the actor who did it simply said and i paraphrase of course '' i cut her for real because we had all gone insane at that point and didn't care . ''
My hats off to these actors i've done some filmwork in B -movies as well it's definitely not a joyride . 🙏
Yeah definitely both. And she was just reflecting that unhinged little world she just escaped.
The thrash metal band has a song inpired by Gein as well, called "Dead Skin Mask" 😁 One of my favorite songs ever!! 🤘😎🤘
Why not both? 🤷
Her screaming, "DON'T TOUCH MY ELBOW! " literally had me laughing out loud. I just subscribed to your channel for that. LOL!!!!!!
;) lol
This reaction is why TCM is my absolute favorite horror film. The points that Ash brought up: broad day light, no music, no atmosphere, etc. is what put this above classics like Exorcist, Carrie, or Omen or any of the others. The fear that comes from this movie is that it can be and is real to certain degrees. If you haven't lived in the American South or in rural areas, you wouldn't understand that a lot of your neighbors are like this. They're so unsettling and offputting that you completely believe that TCM could happen to you.
hope u have seen all of them
@@wraithje The TCM franchise? I saw the OG, 2, Next Generation, and the reboot in 06(?). I haven't wasted my time with all the other reboots, the Jessica Biel one was enough for me to give up. Besides, none of the sequels captured what Tobe Hooper nailed with the OG, that grimey grindhouse gore exploitation that really guts you.
I love that little dance with the chainsaw at the end. Leatherface was boppin
Apparently the chainsaw was running, and at one point he swung it so close to the cameraman he dropped the camera to get out of the way and that’s why they had to cut to so abruptly.
He cut into a beehive 😂
“Why you making martial art noises?” 🤣🤣
One aspect I honestly really love about the original film is that the creepy decaying run down house ISNT the serial killers house but the nice pretty one is. So many other films try to hit you over the head with which house is the bad one (including the remakes of this film) but here they keep it sorta subtle
The large absence of music, the first 2 killings happening during daylight, so sneaky scenes..just makes this seem so real and gives off such an uncomfortable atmosphere. That is why, amongst many other reasons, this is a special film and a masterpiece
Spot on.
Leatherface making his first appearance and knocking the in the head with hammer, with no preliminary POV shots or musical cues, made it much more brutal and realistic.
"Look what your brother did to the door!"
Loosely based on real life killer and grave robber Ed Gein, who would dress up in women's clothing and made bowls, utensils, and furniture out of human bones and skin.
Gein would later be the basis for Norman Bates in Psycho and Buffalo Bill in The Silence Of The Lambs.
And Ezra Cobb in a little seen film called "Deranged."
Psycho was well before this film.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicksyea so
Gein was arrested in 1957 which definitely predates Psycho@@Corn_Pone_Flicks
@@Corn_Pone_Flicksbut Gein did his atrocities during the 50's...
It's impressive how disturbing this film is without it actually being that graphic, by todays standards anyway. A lot of stuff happens off screen but it almost makes it more anxiety inducing
You’re right Ash! At 26:45 the dinner scene from resident evil 7 took inspiration from the dinner scene from this movie! Also the bakers property was loosely based on this movies farm.
I love seeing these youngsters react to these classics!😁👍
...whats crazy is when you realize how bloodless this movie is. Some how the knife cutting during the hitchhike scene somehow fills your brain in on the brutality of this movie
Mate that is so true, appreciate you man
@@justtrustash What's hilarious is: Bts, Gunnar (played Leatherface), bro used to play football and bounce. He had to slow down and chop branches. Because even with that chainsaw, he kept catching up to Marilyn (Sally) and they'd have to reshoot. Imagine a dude 6'3"+, 250, running at you with a power tool. Hell fuck nahh. 🤣🤣
Grandpa was the youngest in the movie 19 playing 100 😂my favorite movie of all time
This is officially the most entertaining reaction I have ever seen to this movie🤣
Couldn't agree more on what you said... the fact it's broad daylight, no special effects, music, etc. makes this film iconically scary
They dont make movies like this anymore a simple but terrifying and traumatic movie and after watching stays with you forever. Love your reactions top channel.
Well, probably because the labour standards improved to the point it's literally illegal to film some of these scenes XD
I think the closest I have come to feeling the raw terror of this movie was watching the hostel movies. Feels too real and shows a lot. lol
If I had a dollar for every time someone claimed modern movies aren't good I'd never have to work another day in my life
Terrifying? More Silly and funny than Terrifying
@@Jeremy252 nobodys mentioned anything about modern films not being good on here my friend your making that assumption. Like the old style of this film nothing more than that relax yourself.
The house used as the primary shooting location in the film has been restored, moved to Kingsland, TX, it's now The Grand Central Cafe Restaurant and Club Car Bar. It looks like a lovely place.
I've started watching these videos and trying to anticipate when the "Daddy chill" clip will pop up. You two are hilarious, and the editing is great.
"I almost feel a little bad for them you know? Because like he doesn't probably want to it." The director said that Leatherface is like a big baby and is afraid of his family and does whatever they demand because of that, and the only reason he killed the first three people was because he was frightened by strange people invading his home.
I’ve been to the house from this movie. It was eerie looking in the window and seeing the staircase. One of my favorite movies. The house is now a restaurant with memorabilia. It’s called Hoopers in honor of the director 💀
17:23
Listen, listen, listen.
If two of my friends told me they were going swimming, and would be back in an hour, and they don’t come back after three hours; then my other friend tells me he’s going to go looking for them and he’ll be back in about thirty minutes, and several hours later he isn’t back…I’m not going looking for them.
I’m getting in that damn van and driving it as far away from that place as the fumes will take me, then I’m hitchhiking to the closest Sheriffs or State Police station and telling them, “Look officer, I was in this area, three of my friends wandered off and told me they’d be right back, and none of them came back. Y’all can go figure that out. This isn’t my problem anymore, I’m making it your problem.”
Hannah really is STUNNING in green. That’s totally your color girl! 💅🏼👑
Fun fact. Leatherface is played by my countryman Gunnar Hansen he lived in Maine since 5 years old. He also played in another horror movie Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre. The name derives its name from this one. Its worth a look.
Edit: Your reactions are the best. Seriously.
I think he was played by Latimer from The Program at one point as well.
Also Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers
I love your rendition of the famous TCM sound 😂 it’s supposed to sound like a flashbulb, it’s from the police collecting photographic evidence at the crime scene… but its actually a tuning fork scraping a piano string lol.
What a killer debut movie, everyone seems real like how could those actors pull that off, one of the scariest movies in history
I read somewhere the surviving girl won or was nominated for an Oscar for that scream.
I remember watching this in the 80s when it came back to the theaters as a terrified 10 year old. 😂
The director wanted this movie to be PG-rated. That's rogue as FUCK! To be fair there is hardly any blood in the movie and you don't actually see much.
Oh hell no. The psychological damage it provides is enough to make it R
You two are honestly my favorite and never fail to cheer me up after a tough week. Thanks for the reaction!
I love you guys, I never would have looked at some of the movies you react to and you’ve widened my horizon to a bunch of movies. One of the best reactions channels and u deserve so many more subscribers
Welcome to the club of Texas Chainsaw Massacre viewers & fans! Although Ash's title of Texas Hammer Massacre would be good too! 😀. The more times you rewatch, especially these reactions, you appreciate the horror even more. It's truly one of the just creepiest films ever.
I like how you mentioned there's no music in both this movie and the exorcist. Movies today use music or jump scares way too much. They also try and ride the wave of the iconic beginning movies. A lot of those movies weren't meant to be stretched out for so long with multiple sequels
Tubular bells is one of the most iconic horror move scores of all time. What are you talking about?
If I have to explain then it's not really worth it
i keep rewatching this reaction over and over sjsj its great i always wonder how you guys would react to this film gold reactions 10/10
Favorite movie when I kid, being from Texas it looks like home. It's awsome you guys actually saw it.
It’s funny to think of how different this movie lands now compared to when it came out. As a little kid in the 70s, this was the height of forbidden film. Now it’s almost quaint. It’s kind of like how AC/DC and Kiss were seen as dangerous music and now they’re lightweight rock and roll. 😂
This film is a masterpiece in horror. I love how absolutely real, dirty and grimey it feels. The Cook is actually the Hitchhiker & Leatherface's older brother, you find this out in the sequel. Their names are Drayton Sawyer (Cook), Nubbins Sawyer (Hitchhiker) & Bubba Sawyer (Leatherface). Grandpa Sawyer is a supercentenarian (a person who has reached the age of 110). He and his grandson's return in the sequel with Nubbins corpse and Nubbins twin brother, Chop Top Sawyer (played by the GREAT Bill Moseley).
I so glad ash got where resident evil got the inspiration of that scene … SYMBOLISMS !!!
“It’s ingrained in me now.” LOL
The only movie that for some reason always stuck with me as a kid was that Hostel movie; the scene when they cut his tendons and open the door to let him try and get away fucked me up lol
Something about the opening of the film with the astrology, solar flare footage, juxtaposed with reports of crazed violence on the radio is pretty unique. It gives the film a lovecraftian, cosmic horror feel, sort of like evil being cyclical and inevitable and it doesn’t have to make any sense. Sets the stage for the ensuing insanity.
Crazy thing about Ed Gein is he inspired 3 movies, Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
No jump scares or music anticipating the moment makes it way more frightening. School is in session
Hi folks
Glad you viewed this classic horror film.
This film as you mentioned ash doesn’t have any fancy scary build up of music , this film just goes straight in for the kill and no messing around and that what makes this film pretty realistic.
Although there wasn’t a lot of gory imagery I think that is a good thing as it certainly makes you use your imagination that bit more.
Take care both of you and really look forward to your next viewing on this halloween month.
Great reaction. These films are so scary because of their gritty realism. There’s a lot of films like this from the 70s…Last House on the Left, The Hill Have Eyes are both great! Another movie series you might like is A House of 1000 Corpses and part 2 The Devils Rejects.
I saw The Hills Have Eyes at the drive in and it was creepy af but I still watch it to this day.
@@toodlescae….it’s on UA-cam for free … the 1970s version.
I was like 6 when I saw this late at night with my sister we secretly stayed up watching this on tv and we instantly regretted after 😂😂
That was one of the best reactions ever, the meathook scene! Texas Chainsaw is one of the few horror films that never, ever loses its impact no matter how many times you see it. Absolutely skin crawling from beginning to end.
For Hannah: the truck driver at the end was eventually caught because you see him hung on a hook in a later sequel
Loved the reaction guys! I recommend you watch “The Witch” for me it’s also one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen.
I was 14 yrs old and went to the movie theaters about 10 times in the first two weeks. It was crazy for back then. But it was great.
That little rewind section was hilarious!
To correct Ash there: We ABSOLUTELY needed that angle. To be more specific: The director fought for it with the Studio! The intention was to make it seem that the house 🏠 was growing menacing over her head!
It’s interesting that you noticed it (even though for all the wrong reasons 😂)
It also plays with the perspective that we can't see the scene around us. I dread it...
_And_ it draws attention to Pam's exposed back, so that's on your mind once Leatherface catches her.
"Kill me and wear me as a hat." - Hannah. 😂 Loved this reaction video. This movie has the weirdest almost slimy feel to it. Just nasty and vile. Always feel like I need a shower after watching it. That's why it's a horror classic.
Hannah! I subscribed! LOL! Excellent film and very realistic performances (especially by the late Marilyn Burns as Sally). One of my all-time favorite horror movies.
Great reaction as always. Have so many fond memories of this movie. A classic for sure I eat the the director Tobe Hooper a few weeks before he passed was such a sweet amazing man. Thank you Ash and Hannah ❤
Thanks, Ashkan! Thanks, Hannah! 😱 The characters and events in this movie aren't specifically true, but as Ash hypothesized, it is loosely based on the actions of Ed Gein. Alfred Hitchcock's classic, PSYCHO (1960) is also inspired by Gein. There's a great documentary mini-series about him out now. It's called PSYCHO: THE LOST TAPES OF ED GEIN (2023). I highly recommend it. #JustTrustAsh #TobeHooper #TheTexasChainsawMassacre #TheTexasChainsawMassacre1974
Ash and Hannah...just so you know...this film is Not based on a true story. It has certain elements of events that occured years ago, but none of them were technically verified. It's fictional; although very horrifying and well done.
This has always been my favorite horror movie. Great episode!
the karate noises then the way she growled at Ash had me dying lmaoo
A lot of good horror films we're from the 70s.. imagine The Exorcist, Black Christmas and Texas Chainsaw Massacre within months of each other. 🎃 Happy Halloween 👻
And really, 1967's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD - which originally had an X-rating for the gore (raw organ eating from butcher shops), and the Nude Walking Woman - was perhaps the most popular shocking "We're taking This Generation Of Films to a whole new level of gore and horror" attempt. I've brought up Ray Dennis Steckler's films before and those were indeed FAR gorier... but also SO fake and so poorly done, and also have very few theaters willing to show his indie films. Steckler is claimed to be 'influential' long after they could have been. I think NIGHT OF LIVING DEAD, then EXORCIST ("let's show projective vomiting, crotch mutilation") were really the pinnacle of Shock Theater attempts. After that - people went for more obvious special effects. CHAINSAW was being filmed as EXORCIST was making its way across theaters... if anything, filming in the Texas 100-degree summer was the bigger influence!
If you guys want some more horror recommendations.
Dawn of the Dead 1978
Dead Alive
Night of the living Dead Remake
Day of the Dead
And Return of the living dead
Are all great zombie films
Really hope they do Dead Alive (Brain-dead) because it's so funny and horrifying at once
This is literally one of the best horror movies I’ve ever seen period.
It’s mindless rage and brute strength that makes it feel so visceral.
Poor Hannah.
Shes gonna have nightmares for long time.
Her screams played back in slow mo sound like an elephant. Lol!!
Anyway, thanks for the video!!
See you later!!
Stay safe.😊
I really hope you guys watch the next movies! The 2009 movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning is my favourite of the movies. Keep up the awesome reactions, you guys are by far in the top 3 best movie reaction channels I've come across!
Ash during the scene where the girl gets hung on the hook is one of the funniest moments of any reaction video I've ever seen!
Wow this channel is popping off! Congrats on all the success Ashannah!
YES ❤🎉
This and the 1974 Black Christmas are the most underrated of the early slasher movies.
3:13 😂 me too Ash, that sound is iconic.
I saw this movie when I was 12. It scarred me for years! I'd hear a chainsaw and would literally start to panic.
Your reaction however, has me CRYING with laughter! 😂😂😂
Not rewatchable but a masterpiece. What Ash said is right on point… first he said this movie had little things that make it ten times creepier when the guy was stabbing her with the stick. And also that the scenes stay with you. This is a true horror film. This and Midsommar should stand as one of the greatest films ever made.
Not rewatchable? Wth you talking about...
@@Motorheadbanger1000 oh I only meant it’s not rewatchable if you’re not a film student or psychopath. That’s all I meant.
@@TeamHarrisonMachinewell I’m both so…
@@danielwormald4666 (I’ll go ahead and finish it for ya)… so I guess we got it all figured out lol.
Not rewatchable? Apparently you dont appreciate a good horror classic. This film literally spawned a whole generation of the best horror flics to ever hit a theater. A horror movie before this was the birds or night of the living dead. This movie completely changed the game.
This one is great obviously being the original but the 2003 version is still the best/scariest.
BRAVO!!! One of the best reactions I've ever seen! Happy spooky season!
Man watching this movie as a kid from a small Texas town scared the crap out of me such a gem of a reaction guys 💯
P.S. y’all should come to Texas
