“Nothing really beats Texas Chainsaw — just very pure. It was incredibly self-assured for a first movie, incredibly well done. The creepiness of it, this slow feeling of dread that that movie casts on you — the ideas behind it are gorier than what you're seeing. How Tobe Hooper made something so visceral and so deeply disturbing, and how it just unfolds — it's still really powerful. It's a real powerful piece of filmmaking.”
