ah, you asked a mouthful my friend. Well, there are numerous aspects of this film that I love, and I will attempt to discuss them with you here.
First off, The movie is unlike any other film ever made (even the remake). It has an extremely isolated feel to it, and it's one of the only movies that successfully combines aspects from both psychological horror films, and slasher horror films. Often the film is disturbing and creepy from the images we see on the screen, and just as often we are disturbed by the images we don't see, but that is insinuated. The film perfected the art of making the viewer rely on his imagination to finish the acts began on screen, it takes the movie to a whole different level.
Next is Leatherface, he is, frankly, the ultimate killer...that doesn't mean he's the most powerful, or deadly or anything, it means he is the most intriguing, and, more importantly, realistic. He's completely believable and too me that makes him much more frightening then any other of the slashers, because you may fear them, but deep down you know there is not any real danger from them, but with leatherface, it is completely possible for a person like that too exist. Also he has a childlike innocence too him that is incredibly likeable, but at the same time he is bashing people with a hammer, it's really conflicting and add's a depth to him that no other villian has.
Finally, I just find this film extremely watchable, it's flawless in my eyes, from the grainy picture, to the abstract soundtrack, it is very very eerie, forboding and believable. Plus parts are just damn funny. So, I hope this review helps you decide to go see it, because I've yet too meet a true horror fan who has disliked it.

Never seen TCM? Holy poop on a stick........you don't know what you are missing. Great flick........imagine all of the psychological/slasher films you've ever seen (which were rip offs of TCM)....then double how much they own.....what you will have is TCM.

origonal was good for its time, but comparing it to the remake the remake is better. Also, the origonal DID start a genre of new movies but i have to disagree with the arrogant brown-noser Evil Dead, all new slashers/psychological horror movies are NOT copying tcm because copying it would be taking the story and just changing it. Evil Dead, YOUR opinion is wrong.
