Quotes:
[first lines]
Narrator: August 18, 1973. News of a bizarre, chainsaw wielding family - reports which were to ignite the world's imagination - began to filter out of central Texas.

Author: despitethesnow from United States

this was an amazing movie. it wasn't intended to be terrifying like the rest of the chainsaw massacres. but it totally made up for it with the twisted comedy and Matthew's outstanding performance. there was never a dull moment in this movie. if you like dark comedy and like the rest of the chainsaw movies, i totally suggest you watch this one. its the kind of movie that you can never get tired of. i may be the only one who apparently liked it but that shouldn't discourage you to go out and rent it. once again, Matthew's performance, i think, was one of his bests. after seeing "frailty," I've noticed that he plays a great crazy person. overall, very twisted, very entertaining. watch it.
