This 8 episode thriller series will make you shiver, gruesome murders take place, climax will keep you glued till last, has 7.8 IMDb ratings, series is…
Directed by Tobe Hooper, 7.8 IMDb ratings, the horror thriller still has the power to disturb, decades after it first shocked theatres. The film stars Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger, Paul A. Partain, William Vail, and Teri McMinn, and is set in the desolate, rural stretches of Texas. It begins with a grave
The story starts in 1973, with reports of grave robbing shaking a small Texan town. A group of five — Sally Hardesty, her wheelchair-bound brother Franklin, and friends Jerry, Kirk, and Pam — set off on a road trip in a van to check if their grandfather's grave was safe.
But things spiral quickly. On the road, they offer a hitchhiker a ride — a decision that cuts deep. 'He stabbed Franklin with a knife,' a line that marks the shift from curiosity to chaos. The man behaves erratically, discusses slaughterhouses and family secrets, and then turns violent. He's thrown out, but the unease lingers. The house where nightmares live
The group stops at a gas station, only to be told there's no fuel. With nowhere else to go, they head to Sally's grandfather's now-abandoned home nearby. Kirk and Pam explore the area and spot a farmhouse. Kirk enters — and that's when horror greets them in the flesh.
Behind the door waits Leatherface, a masked figure wielding a chainsaw, who strikes with terrifying force. One by one, the friends vanish into his family's cannibalistic trap. Leatherface and the Cannibal Kin
This isn't just a killer — it's an entire household of human flesh eaters. Pam is next. Then Jerry. And soon, the only one left fighting for her life is Sally.
Bound, hunted and tormented, Sally's escape becomes the heart-stopping climax of the film. The tension, set design, and raw brutality make it hard to believe this movie was made on a shoestring budget (around INR 66 lakh / $140,000). Will she escape, or will she be served?
Sally's screams still echo in horror history. Will she survive this feast of fear? Or become another forgotten meal on the Leatherface family table?
You'll have to watch The Texas Chain-Saw Massacre to find out. And with its return on OTT, now's the time to revisit — or discover — the scream that started it all.
