A lot of people love Freddy, Jason, Michael, & Jigsaw, but Jedidiah "Bubba" Sawyer a.k.a. Leatherface is my favorite horror film franchise villain.
Definitely the remake with Jessica biel from 2003
Plz react to the movie Eragon😢😂😂😂
2003 reboot and Part 2 are Awesome 🤘🏽🪦⛓️🪚
Only violence you really see is leatherface cutting his leg a little bit.
The whole dinner table scene is so viscerally disturbing, not just because of the skin/human furniture, but also because of how gleeful and AMUSED the family is by her terror and desperation.
Also, I think she gets away because the family has gotten so USED to doing this stuff that they’re not even paying full attention to her; she’s just a slab of meat, not an autonomous person capable of escape. They’ve gotten complacent and sloppy.
And the fact that they figure, it’s not the first or the last person….
All of this 👌👌
When the Grandpa started sucking the finger and then he came alive and started squirming...that was too much for me lmao
@@heathergeerjust wanna say.your gorgeous lol thumbs 👍😅 was checking the communities chat and stumbled on yours. Also check out mrballen if you like story based true stories.and pitch meetings for your favorite movies. It's comedy
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is arguably the most influential horror film of the last 50 years.
It's fun seeing how effective the film still is. Tobe Hooper really captured lightning in a bottle when he made this.
I think what makes it so disturbing is how real and believable they seem. Also the moments that people are suffering and aware of what fate their likely facing. Imagine knowing these guys are gonna eat you. Terrifying.
A lot of people love Freddy, Jason, Michael, & Jigsaw, but Jedidiah "Bubba" Sawyer a.k.a. Leatherface is my favorite horror film franchise villain.
The best right next to Scream
I had no idea that was his name. Shows how good of a horror fan I am.
@@brianburkhardt3692 they give him a diff name in almost every movie
When I have horror movie nightmares, Leatherface is always a comforting presence 🤷♀️
He just trying to do a good job, bless him
The original big four of slasher film has always been Freddy, Jason, Michael and Bubba leather face since the late 70-80s jigsaw is too recent to be up there with them there's even a pop band call slasher boys consist of them four who parodies backstreet boys and other boy bands they are 👍great.
The most disturbing scene in horror to me is when leather face hits the guy with the hammer and he starts convulsing…just felt too real 💀
Great physical acting.
What I've always loved is that Mr. Hooper's seminal horror movie is considered one of the goriest movies made... and yet, it's relatively bloodless. An absolute masterwork in using the implication of violence rather than showing the gore.
One reason it felt so gritty and nasty was that filming was pretty brutal (115 degrees, not bathing for 5 weeks, etc). As the Final Girl's actress admited, that scene of her losing her mind in the back of the truck wasn't acting.
"the implication of violence" - We see 2 men get beaten with a mallet, a girl put on a meat hook and half-dead corpse suck the blood off of a girl's finger. Not to mention the Bone Room. That's violence and its not "implied"; it is shown to us with lingering shots and close-ups. Not gory but this is definitely a violent movie.
@@timcardona9962I think what he means is we don't see a lot of the gory detail. Yes, we see a girl get hung on a hook, and that is very violent, but we don't actually see any blood from the hook. It's in our imagination, and with the way the movie is shot, it works very well.
Believe it or not, Tobe Hooper was hoping for a PG rating but instead got an X until they cut short a few scenes for an R.
It always annoys me when people question why they didn’t just drive off in the semi. Do you know how long it takes for those trucks to get up to full speed? More than long enough for leatherface to do a number of things like slash the tires or get through the window
Other than that, great reaction and loved the Franklin death jump scare
Indeed. Not to mention, we have no idea if the Hitchhiker's body damaged something under the truck.
Thats true but i had also heard that originally Leatherface was suppose to stab his chainsaw into the door of the Truck which would have forced Sally and the Trucker to escape out of the truck but the moment they went to film the scene is when they found out the trucks door just wouldnt cut through the metal of the door which i guess would make it harder to build up the anxiety towards the ending, but hey they did it either way so still good. (Also im not sure if this is accurate but it was what i heard at some point)
It’s amazing the truck didn’t roll over when it stopped. That alone was unrealistic, but yeah it’s annoying when people are yelling “That’s so stupid” at something because they don’t understand physics or like, have been near a large truck before
@jameshunt9208 plus the window was wide open, say bye bye to your arms
Fun Fact: The movie is only partly a true story. The character of Leatherface was inspired mainly by Edward Gein, who made household items from corpses in Wisconsin in the 1950s. Like lampshades made from human faces. But I guess THE WISCONSIN LAMPSHADE MASSACRE didn't sound so good. 😂
Ed Gein also inspired the characters of Norman Bates from Psycho and Hannibal Lector
@@davevannatta985Actually it’s Buffalo Bill not Hannibal
Actually Hannibal Lecter was based on Alfredo Ballí Treviño and Buffalo Bill was based on Gary M. Heidnik
I always assumed this movie was extremely bloody and gorey. I didn't expect it to be as stylized and artsy as it is. The psychological horror is really the main event here. It rocketed to the top of my slasher movie list because of that
Tara wasn't joking when she said she doesn't like stringy hair. She made the same comment about the Saw pig masks and now the graveyard corpse. 😂
Why does everyone assume the truck driver is being stupid... the semi truck is at a dead stop .. is isnt a Honda Civic... it takes a little longer to start up and theres a guy with a chainsaw carving the door up. You just gonna sit there calmly for ten seconds getting that thing going
So excited that Tara and Aaron are reacting to this movie! This movie is pretty disturbing! 👍
Yes texas true story massacre
My favorite scene is when they pick up the guy on the side of the road. You really begin to understand how crazy this is really going to be 😂
Being all alone and chased by someone with a chainsaw and hearing the revving of said chainsaw is like my absolute worst worst fear! It’s so hard for me to watch the “Texas chainsaw massacre” movies because of that!
You should play the new TCM game. 😂
@@mykelaird6691 I’ve tried… it’s was rough! 😅
I carry, so I'm not particularly worried.
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.
When Tara called it
& the girl actually jumped out the window... ohhh my gawd ! gold!
" I thought he was gonna start doing crack or something " such a funny observation lol
Tara really do be killin these intros though lol
For years, I had heard how disturbing this movie was, and it is. What I find fascinating, is how very little actual gore there is. Most of it happens just out of frame, it lets your imagination fill in the gaps.
The most obvious example is the girl on the meat hook. We see absolutely nothing. Leatherface lifts her up and it cuts to her suspended, grabbing at the hook as if trying to lift herself off it. Obviously she's on some sort of harness. Yet, if they HAD tried to show the girl getting hung up, it probably wouldn't have had as strong a reaction.
Man i've been a fan of this channel for so long and y'all genuinely brighten up my days
I'm excited for this reaction
I don't think I've seen a movie that disturbed me as much as Texas Chainsaw Massacre when I first saw it, I'm not claiming it's the greatest movie ever or anything but it is definitely up there on ther scale of disturbing horror movies due to how surreal it is, and the low budget feel works to its advantage
It's not the greatest, but it's extremely unique. Both the budget and the conditions gave it a nightmarish quality, particularly the ending. It was over a hundred degrees in the shade and the lighting was only make it worse. The meat was real and beyond spoiled, filling the set with the smell of rot. After putting the make-up on the kid playing "Grandpa" (he was 19 at the time), he stated he would NOT go through it twice. In short, they needed to film every scene with him in it then and there. It had been over 24 hours since they slept. To show how messed up the actors were, Leatherface's dance at the end was entirely unscripted and had the people on set backing away in fear as Gunnar Hansen spun around and around, swinging the chainsaw, sometimes with one hand and not the tightest looking grip. You can't replicate that sort of madness.
Tara needs to see Cabin in the Woods! After all the classics horror movies first, though.

They hoped by the lack of gore that they could make it a PG rating...yeah...thats what they hoped.
I still remember the first time I saw this movie as a kid. so traumatized. 😵💫
The 2003 remake of this movie is very good. Highly recommend it.
The timeless tale of a hardware enthusiast fending off home invaders.
70s 80s the best decade for horror ,
Everything is just perfection.
All the OGs Horror figure are just legendary..
All the movies has aged well IMO,
No horrror from any decade can match it.
masterpiece. unforgettable, finely crafted and inspired everything that came after it...
This movie FEELLLLLLSSSS like a 70s found footage film. Its soooo eerie.
Yep it looks like a snuff film
This is actually way harder for me to watch than the Saw movies. It disturbs me to my core 😳
The 2003 version is definitely my favorite! I hope you guys do that one next.
I saw this at the age of 7 with my dad and uncles, and they told me this was a real story and I believed this till I read about Ed Gein in Highschool.
Same here. Possibly 7 also, being born in 78' and all, watching certain horror movies growing up. I remember understanding the intro that says it's a true story
The music in the intro is hilarious 😂, but tcm ia genuinely my favorite scary movie of all time. Love tht you guys are reacting to it
Movie still holds up for being like 50yrs old
Great movie. Thanks for the reaction upload. Two (fun?) facts:
As a large man who had to work every day in triple-digit heat while wearing a wool costume that he couldn’t change out of, Gunnar Hansen already had it rough while making The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He got so smelly by the end of production that the rest of the cast and crew avoided eating around him.
And when Jerry (Allen Danzinger) discovers Leatherface’s slaughter room and then meets the man himself, the scream he lets out is genuine. It was apparently the first time he had seen Hansen in full costume.
Really enjoy how they blurred Grandpa's face 🤣, great touch
Such a horror classic. I always felt like the scene of Franklin rolling down the hill at the beginning was a bit unnecessary but is what it is
Hanging the girl from the meat hook has got to be the most brutal thing in this movie
And yet we see nothing. If you stop to think about it, it's obvious the girl is dangling from some sort of harness. The thing is, nobody is stopping to think about it. It's all happening so fast that there's little time to process it.
My man Leatherface was inspired by real life serial killers Ed Gein and Elmer Wayne Henley. Not getting into specifics, but would recommend reading the article on these guys especially Ed Gein...real nasty stuff.
Although definitely don't look up the crime scene pics from Gein's house, they're mentally scarring
Ed Gein isn’t a serial killer but yes
@@robertyeah2259 whilst only 2 murders were confirmed, 7 others were suspected
@@robertyeah2259he was classified as that because of his crimes and insanity
@@robertyeah2259he was still classified as one because of his insanity and crimes if that’s the case he wouldn’t have spent the remainder of his life in the Mendota Mental Health Institute
I love all this horror content! keeping you guys on the bg while i try to stay awake for work! XD
The “Diner” scene, took 24 hours to shoot. People were constantly getting sick, due to the lights causing some of the raw meat to smell.
You guys were right, this movie did mess a lot of people up. I believe it was Guillermo Del Toro that went vegetarian for a bit after watching this movie.
Leatherface, the chainsaw guy in the movie, is partly based on Serial Killer Ed Gein who had his house decorated with human bones and skin in various capacities, that's why this movie feels so real. Also, Leatherface's mask is meant to be made of human skin in the movie.
As far as this movie and its sequels, I'm working my way through them right now actually, so I don't really have much to say about them in terms of recommendations and such. A bit of a fyi though, they also kinda do the same thing the Halloween movies do from what I understand where there's like 5 or 6 movies, a reboot or 2 and some stuff connecting to them, and stuff that kinda just jumps around and connects in weird places and such, so the continuity between things can be a bit confusing.
Does this mean the Saw reactions are over?🥺
Still an amazing reaction though
The first saw movie is the only one worth watching. The rest are convoluted garbage
@@IXSICNESS 2 and 6 are good, Spiral was ok enough and 10 was very good for a 10th sequel
Hello trauma!
I've said it once, twice, THRICE (not the band 😅) but SO MUCH YES to this film reaction!!!!!
I had the privilege of this movie as a kid thanks to "loving" parents as a resident of Texas to have seen this movie. Through various trips up and down the state I'll tell you, of the hundreds of rest areas and gas stations we stopped at (Texas is huge) we were scared TO HELL. Well behaved out of paranoia for Hitchhiker's or anything even REMOTELY out of the ordinary. No horror film ever stuck with me like this and growing up in Texas, it haunted my child mind well into early 20's at least.
Original part 2 of this is worth it to if you dare.
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.
Gein would be the basis for Norman Bates in Psycho and Buffalo Bill in The Silence Of The Lambs.
When you're so messed up, 3 of the most iconic horror characters are based on you 💀
I thought he used human skin too and not just bones?
@@Invader_Rin13that and he wore his victims skin too. Made clothing accessories out of it. Gloves, belts, etc.
@@Invader_Rin13 not just skin too...
What makes this one of the greatest horror films ever made is that it allows the viewer to imagine. There is very little graphic violence if you think about you see very little blood compared to most blood fest now days. A masterclass in cinematic horror.
I love how much you’re not just scared of leatherface but also the whole family.
So I drove trucks, and when you slam on the breaks like that to stop it can cause it to stall.
Also, it takes a bit to get a big rig started, especially the old ones. When a chainsaw is about to come through the door and you’re in the middle of getting a rig to start you’re not likely to have enough time.
It’s not a sedan, he made the right choice
Granted it would have taken a VERY long time for him to cut through that door. He seemed more interested in drawing that symbol on it.
Bubba is a victim here as well. He's mentally disabled and is forced to do all of his actions. His brothers take advantage of his disability and strength to turn him into the "butcher". Makes me feel real bad for him and it also gives his character more than a "killer" impression.
Both the old movies are fun😭🤣 playing the game made me rewatch them but i still enjoy the 2000s ones🔥
17:43 "it just slowly goes in?!"
Could be wrong, but I don't think there's anything on screen that would lead you to believe it goes in slowly - that's what's so great about this scene and the movie in general - it leaves all the actual visceral violence off screen and lets your mind fill in the blanks
I'd love y'all to continue the saw movies. 4-7 are really fun movies.
This movie was really shocking at the time it came out just bc on screen violence wasn’t as common as it is today just seeing ppl get wacked was disturbing for those back in the day
Tobe Hooper and his art director Bob Burns conjured up a picture of hell in rural America
The actor who played Franklin stayed in character the whole time and drove everyone nuts they didn’t want to be around him. Same with the actor playing Leatherface he smelled so bad and had no new wardrobe and everyone had to avoid him lol
Each time I rewatch this movie the more I appreciate it.
Yay more reactions with Tara and Aaron ❤, great reaction as always guys love ya xxx
More horrifying than Saw, I’ve never heard that before but I kind of agree. This one feels more realistic. For Saw at least you could say he has “reasoning” so as long as you’ve not wronged him or done anything and your just a good normal person then you don’t have anything to worry about like for example from what we learn about the friend group in this movie had the villain been Jigsaw I think they’d have been fine and wouldn’t have been a target. Whereas here Leatherface and family have no real reasoning other than wanting to make life as miserable and horrific for their victims as they can unless they just outright kill them. Brutality wise I think Saws violence can be worse depending on the trap but Texas chainsaw is probably more sadistic as they’re seen enjoying it more whereas Jigsaw doesn’t enjoy the pain and suffering he puts his victims through as it’s all part of the process.
17:43 "it just slowly goes in?" 😂😂😂😂
Something interesting is that this movie is done like a comedy. It has a lot of humour but it ends up being a very dark weird humour that instead of making it less scary, it just made it way more disturbing.
Other than the original Halloween, this is probably the tamest classic slasher movie.
At the time, not really. But now?? Chyeahahaha
Idk about that. I guess compared to Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, it might not be as gory. But it has the most disturbing tone and feel out of all of them.
Yeah, nah... bullshit. Just because there isnt all that much gore doesnt mean its "tame". This actually makes you FEEL like you're there. What other slasher movie does that?
It’s been fun watching you two 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love when characters in horror movies get so desperate they just jump through windows without a second thought. Sally does it twice, and there’s a similar scene in Hereditary.
I'm not sure if there are other movies that make jumping through windows so intense that I haven't seen yet.
I saw this movie when I was 8 years old back in 84. I was traumatized by it. Till this day, I have no desire to go to Texas.
Where’s the rest of saw!!!!
As someone born and raised in Texas, watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre felt oddly nostalgic. We had a neighbor a few miles away who could've been an extra in that movie. Texas may have 'friendship' as its state motto, but in rural Texas, you never know what's lurking just beyond the last gas station!
I'm kidding!
Next or future reaction Tara and Aaron watch Cabin in the Woods 👀. I’d be down for that
The great thing about this movie. It was intended to be a comedy. But it came out disturbing for viewers. If you watch the sequel you’ll see the real cheese that would’ve been
🎵The stars at night

This is the best reaction I've seen so far!
I think my favorite thing about this story is Leatherface just stressing about all the fucking people coming into his house.
man I love this movie so much, I'm still surprised that Leatherface snuck up on them with a chainsaw
i love going in haunted houses but the only thing that truly scares me from them is the chainsaw noises & it definitely came from these movies
Hehe, that was an 18 wheeler from the 70's. It would have taken them 5 minutes to get up to 20mph had they started driving.
Leatherface is just like "Why do these people keep coming to my house? WTF!".
Good morning y’all
The thing is from "The Family's" point of view it is a home invasion on their way of life. Leatherface is distressed after he kills the third guy with the glasses - its just this stream of uninvited people coming to a house no one goes to. Also it sort of really happenned - sort of..
Great reaction. My favorite part was when I realized you didn't know Grampa was alive. I just sat there waiting for the moment he starts sucking her finger knowing how you were going to freak.
I turned this into a theoretical play for my theater class, I got a B+
"Aaaaaaahhhhh!! He's AAAALIIIIIIIIIIVE!!" hahahaha Best reaction ever hahahahaha
Fun Fact:
Ed Neil (who portrayed the creepy graverobbing hitchhiker) also voiced Lord Zedd (Mighty Morphing Power Rangers).
The practical effects, over the top screaming, crazy body movements, and that unsettling rumble of the chainsaw makes this movie both cheesy and terrifying. One of my favorites for sure and hopefully yours too 🖤
Please also watch the sequel from 1986 it's hillarious one of the craziest acting by Dennis Hopper. The sequel is also by the same director but more crazy.
25:36
Roger Ebert wrote a very positive review of this and specifically mentioned that shot.
Next to the sausages is a....something? You can't really tell what cut of meat that is.
Favorite combo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love Tara's shirt..I'm a huge fan of Scream and I'll be heading to Monster Mania Con in November in Philadelphia and I'll be meeting the entire OG Scream movie cast as well as getting personal pictures taken with Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich. I love Texas Chainsaw Massacre and this one is my favorite out of them all. Gunner Hanson did such an amazing job at playing Leatherface. Great video guys have a blessed day and stay rejects like myself.
This is a movie about a poor family that gets intruders in their house and they are just defending themselves.😁
Ayeeeee this looks fun to do
The dinner scene is even more depressing when you know the fact the actors are really miserable when filming because of the heat and the stink of the meats rotting . So some of that is LEGIT real misery on their faces. The ending of this movie is definitely one of the best endings to a horror movie ever if not the best. Her in the truck laughing like a maniac... Leatherface anger dancing lol. Its perfect.
2 words for a follow up to this.... Motel Hell. Should be in this category of classics.
Awesome nails Tara :D
21:51 that’s still the only jump scare that made me jump out of my seat.
Imagine this - - - - - - - you're a teenager in the Midwest, summertime, access to the Chevy Impala, and there are about 6 drive in movie theaters within a half hour drive where you live.
Now imagine you and two of your friends are heading to the drive in in 1975, hot hot summer night, to see a double feature.
The first feature was a 1971 Eurotrash horror called "Devil's Nightmare", a not too scary, dubbed, odd little picture. More (unintentional) laughs than horror.
First feature ends, so a trip to the concession stand for goodies and then back to the cars. Summer night, all the car windows are down, slurping the concession Coca Cola and snacking on the popcorn.
Second feature starts - the, what we ironically thought at the time was a kind of schlocky title, "Texas Chain Saw Massacre".
Having seen so many horror movies at drive-ins, we fully thought it would be another more funny than scary movie.....
Boy were we wrong.... the opening was unnerving with the flash camera shots and the hitchhiker, but by the time they got to the old family house it was sort of funny, with the handyman at the garage, the garage owner, Frankline blowing raspberries at the rest of the group running around the house and leaving him to fend for himself.
But when Kirk enters the house, it all changed. People in cars surrounding you screaming in terror, the feeling that what you're watching is so realistic that you feel so exposed and unsafe parked with the windows down. The terror level ratched up so high and for so long that when they were trying to club Sally with the hammer over the metal tub and Grandpa kept dropping the hammer you started laughing out of sheer nerves.....
When the movie ended, and the first feature started playing again, I started up the car, slowly drove out of the drive-in, and got back on the highway. After a few minutes of silence one of my friends said "I think my heart is starting to beat normally again...."
This is actually happened in real life
Well, sorta. Plot was fictional, but Leatherface himself was inspired by real killers.
Dude yes!! I myself just watched this for the first time last night and holy shiiiit. I love me some horror movies. Its my jam. This is one of the few that made me genuinely uncomfortable.
The people who made this felt at the time it was a comedy and even tried to get a PG rating.
Anyone know how they filmed that scene where the camera follows her under the swing as she approaches the house? Just a camera on a long track?
They definitely don’t make em like this anymore!!!! One of the greatest , great review very well done 👍
Fun fact: The two villains in The Silence of the Lambs, Norman Bates of Psycho, and this film, were all inspired/influenced by the same real life serial killer. That man's name is Ed Gein. His crimes are some truly disturbing stuff.
The things Ed Gein did were indeed terrible, but he was also a victim, due to the way his overly religious mother raised him and his brother. Another thing is that even though he's labeled a serial killer, he actually only murdered two women.
A serial killer is typically a person who murders three or more people, with the murders taking place over more than a month and including a significant period of time between them. However, while most authorities set a threshold of three murders, others extend it to four or lessen it to two .
@@2apocalypsexwhy are you trying to justify his actions?
@@kendrichbadando7950 I'm not, I'm just pointing out that the environment that people are born and live in can sometimes shape the person they become and the he actions they make.
When I met the character of 'Kirk' at Monster/Con in Feb 3rd, he told me that Leatherface hit him so hard, that he busted a blood vessel over his left eye.
The scariest part about this...
The human furniture and all that stuff. It was inspired by a real life serial killer, Ed Gein.
He's been an inspiration for MANY movies. This one, Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs.
