The ultimate horror shocker!
During a summer road trip, five young friends fall into the clutches of the cannibalistic family of chainsaw-wielding Leatherface. A merciless terror nightmare becomes reality!
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE was considered perverse and glorifying violence. The film was banned in many places, dividing and shocking audiences worldwide – this horror milestone set new boundaries and created the monster icon Leatherface.
