劇情介紹

位于德克薩斯州特拉維斯縣的一間農莊被大批警察包圍，警察發現屋內有33具尸骨。這樁碎尸案使得人心惶惶，無人知曉兇手到底是誰，紛紛傳言他戴著人皮面具并揮舞著電鋸。不久，警察和FBI合力擊斃了一名神秘的戴著人皮面具的人，但事后并未做任何取證和調查工作，案子便草草了結了。隨后的幾年，又發生了多起類似兇殺案，當初那個被殺的人被證實并非真正的“人皮魔鬼”。 電鋸下的唯一幸存者終于說出當年的恐怖情景，案件也因此逐漸水落石出。

推薦理由

1974年，原版《德州電鋸殺人狂》讓所有觀眾都大驚失色、不寒而栗，影片故事的創作靈感源于一系列真實事件，很多人將影片譽為最偉大的驚悚片和恐怖片的里程碑，該片進而潛移默化的影響了不計其數的電影。盡管拍攝成本只有不到15萬美元，但其全球盈利已經超過了1億，并被世界各地的影迷奉為Cult經典。而2003年版的翻拍篇較之以往(1986年至1994期間的三個翻拍版本)其他的翻拍片更值得一看。

Plot summary

Sally Hardesty (Marilyn Burns) and her brother Franklin (Paul A. Partain) travel with three friends to a cemetery holding the grave of Hardestys' grandfather. They aim to investigate reports of vandalism and corpse defilement. Afterward, they decide to visit an old Hardesty family homestead, and on the way, the group picks up a hitchhiker (Edwin Neal). The man speaks and acts bizarrely, and then slashes himself and Franklin with a straight razor before being forced from the group's van. The group stops at a gas station to fuel their vehicle, but when they find out from the proprietor (Jim Siedow) that the pumps are empty, the group continues to the homestead, intending to return to the gas station later after a fuel truck makes its delivery. Franklin tells Kirk (William Vail) and Pam (Teri McMinn) about a local swimming hole, and the couple heads off to find it. Instead, they stumble upon a nearby house. Kirk decides to ask the residents for some gas, while Pam waits on the front steps.

Receiving no answer but finding the door unlocked, Kirk enters the house; Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen) suddenly appears and kills him. Pam enters soon after to find the house filled with furniture made from human bones. She attempts to flee but is caught by Leatherface and impaled on a meathook. At sunset, Sally's boyfriend Jerry (Allen Danziger) heads out to look for the others. Finding the couple's blanket outside the house, he investigates and finds Pam still alive inside a freezer. Before he can react, Leatherface appears and murders him, stuffing Pam back inside the freezer afterward.

With darkness falling, Sally and Franklin set out to find their friends. As they near the killer's house, calling for the others, Leatherface lunges out of the darkness and murders Franklin with a chainsaw. Sally escapes to the house only to find the desiccated remains of an elderly couple in an upstairs room. With Leatherface still pursuing her, she jumps through a second floor window and continues to flee, eventually arriving at the gas station. As she reaches it, Leatherface disappears into the night. The proprietor at first calms her with offers of help, then binds her with rope and forces her into his truck. He drives to the house, arriving at the same time as the hitchhiker, who turns out to be his younger brother. The pair bring Sally inside, with the hitchhiker taunting her when he realizes who she is.

The men torment the bound and gagged Sally while Leatherface, now dressed as a woman, serves dinner. The old man from upstairs is still alive, and brought to the table to join the meal. During the night, they decide Sally should be killed by "Grandpa" (John Dugan) out of respect for his work at the slaughter house when he was younger. "Grandpa" is too weak to hit Sally with a hammer, repeatedly dropping it. In the confusion, Sally breaks free, leaps through a window and escapes from the house, running out into the road. Leatherface and the hitchhiker give chase, but the hitchhiker is run down and killed by a passing semi-trailer truck. Armed with his chainsaw, Leatherface attacks the truck when the driver stops to help, and is hit in the face with a large wrench wielded by the driver. Sally escapes in the bed of a passing pickup truck as Leatherface waves the chainsaw above his head in frustration.
