a review of 德州电锯杀人狂

One of those infamous bucket list films. I wasn't really looking forward to this, watching it mainly to have proper context for Christoph Schlingensief's The German Chainsaw Massacre. Cinema sure got a lot of mileage out of Ed Gein. The film has its merits though, kinda b-movie bumbling its way through the buildup, then becoming incredibly effective in its second half. What it's lacking the most though is a bunch of believable, fleshed-out and likeable protagonists, plausibly behaving like actual human beings you could give an actual shit about. #film #movies #cinema
