The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre  is a 2003 American slasher film, directed and produced by Tobe Hooper, who cowrote it with Kim Henkel.

The film follows a group of friends who fall victim to a family of cannibals while on their way to visit an old homestead.

Although it was marketed as a true story to attract a wider audience and as a subtle commentary on the era’s political climate, its plot is entirely fictional; however, the character of Leatherface and minor plot details were inspired by the crimes of real-life murderer Ed Gein.

Plot:

A group of young adults are on their way to a Lynard Skynard concert in Dallas.
They cross through a small, isolated town called Travis County.
They pick up a disturbed woman who then shoots herself with a gun.
Looking for the local authorities, the group travels through the town, meeting the locals.
The group seeks help from the locals, but their situation becomes even more surreal when they are picked off by a strange man with a demented face.
The five friends find themselves hunted by a deformed chainsaw-wielding killer and his family of equally psychopathic killers.
