The seminal horror movie back on the big screen!

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.

Our thoughts
50 years and this movie is still as shocking and horrifying as it must have been in 1974. Unrelenting and motiveless terror. The film has spawned so many sequels and spin-offs, each of varying quality, but there's no denying the power of the original.
