It was good back in the day, but watching it now it seems a little cheesy I guess. Considering the budget and when it was made (1974 ish) it could almost be considered a classic.
Lots of rumors swirled around the movie. Whether it was true or if parts of it were at least based on real events.
Anyway there was a strange new story in the news about a Texas man who took a chainsaw to his friend of 20 years. They apparently lived in the same house and the guy was trying to do away with his friend by cutting him up with a chainsaw.
The first thing that came to mind is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie. Not that it had anything to do with the movie after all these years, but it is not something you hear about very often. And, being it happened in Texas just reminds me of the movie.
