Love TCM, I think the sequel is flat out moronic. And I'll admit ignorance to the 3rd and Next Gen. But I think the original builds a neat atmosphere. The bone decorated couch, the meat hook, body in the freezer, the hitchhiker, lot's a cool stuff. I'll admit the movie become a little tedious towards the end with her running around in the woods and leatherface cutting down branches.
But I thoroughly enjoy that movie and don't mind the pace too much. I mean sure the pace is really bad (no where near as bad as TCM2 though) but plenty of 70's horror pictures are like that. Suspiria, Race With The Devil, Evil Dead. They really went to the extreme with the idea of rollercoaster horror.
Though I admit alot of my interest in the film may be rooted in a scene from Summer School when the film is screened for the class and Chainsaw yells 'Do the dance for me baby!'
