The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

Leatherface is one of the most iconic cannibals in movie history, but what’s really interesting is the social subtext of the film. The “family” in Tobe Hooper’s terrifying 1974 classic are unemployed, dispossessed cattle killers who decide the only way to prosper is to practice their skills on animals a bit different to cows. Despite there being little actual blood, it’s still a brutal watch, with a deranged atmosphere and an unnervingly realistic feel.
