The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

I have been preparing for one of the biggest reviews I have ever posted on my blog--one for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and as I was pondering the behavior of Leatherface after he had killed yet another young man who had emerged from "the civilized world" to disrupt the warped life of a truly disturbed individual. It was a fascinating scene. I want to comment on this in depth in the review but the scene just cries for immediate response. I'm fascinated by Gunnar Hanson's performance. The way he, in disheveled panic, rambles about--the bird clucking in its cage--the "room of bones", confused and seemingly bothered by what just happened. This very well might have me looking at the character in a completely different light. Because I haven't seen this in 25 years, watching it with a pair of more mature eyes should make the blog review all the more introspective.
