"The most purely horrifying horror movie ever made." - Empire
"Morally retrograde it may be, but then so are nightmares. The point is that this one, though often crude and raw, really leads the imagination. What also works in its favour is that it doesn't pretend to do anything more than scare the pants off you." - Guardian
"Along with Night of the Living Dead and The Last House on the Left, it ushered in the modern age of horror in the 1970s. It is one of the great transgressive American horrors and is still the film upon which Hooper's reputation is built." - Sean Axmaker
"Almost everyone by now must have heard about Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I was one of those who noted this neo-Gothic horror story from Locarno in 1975 and then argued for its inclusion in the London Festival of that year since it looked as if it had been banned outright for showing here. While nobody could seriously call it a work of art, it was in my opinion a quite formidable piece of directorial artifice, a horror comic brought to the screen with frenetic energy and life." - UK Today
"An intelligent, absorbing, and deeply disturbing horror film that is nearly bloodless in its depiction of violence." - TV Guide
