If you can handle classic horror that actually earns its acclaim, watch it tonight—the 85/91 scores prove this isn't just notorious, it's genuinely brilliant filmmaking. Fair warning: it's relentless, grimy, and absolutely not for the squeamish, but it's also the gold standard that everything since has tried to copy.

Plot

Five friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather. On the way, they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw.
