TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
LEATHERFACE - if Texas Chainsaw Massacre was
originally conceived as a Saturday morning cartoon that is!
This is how I see the main antagonist LEATHERFACE - once he’s got that saw fired up nothing but nothing seems to slow him --he’s a big bulk charging like an unstoppable!
Both the original Tobe Hooper tale of this
cannibal family and the 2003 remake (staring Jessica Biel) both rank in my top ten favourite horror film
list , I just LOVE, LOVE LOVE them!
These films are gritty, gruesome and thrilling and quite possibly because of the fact I’m vegetarian and that these films centred on eating human flesh barbecues it added extra helpings of horror to the proceedings for me.
There's something so right in the set up that makes it all work. Its could be that in the opening you instantly sympathise with the protagonists, easing into their pleasant company as they journey on their road trip into the Texas setting. Whilst on the flip side a wilder more mentally troubled group that make up the antagonist family you would be hard pressed to find , oddly entertaining in their comical yet disturbing ways.
One group is lively and the other so deadly, and where ever two opposites play off each other the clash always makes for an engaging spectacle.

I love the movement in this piece!
ReplyDeleteHe loves to chase the ladies does Leatherface!
ReplyDeleteThere's this amusing bit in the movie where in hot pursuit he changes direction and ends up doing this cartoon style hop,hop and skid on his leading leg as he nearly loose his centre of balance, it always makes me smile - for a bulky guy he certainly motors.
