Scared me as a kid especially because I live in Florida and the 2 people were driving from California to Somewhere in central Florida Deland I think. Which is near where I live. From the intro with the dirty face girl looking at leatherface make his mask thru a window to the end when the victim who is totally against violence turns to violence to survive.The twist is great. The musical score and the metal sounding music see wrath when worlds collide on youtube is all awesome. Not sure why the hatred for the movie. I found it to be done well. Lots of quotable moments between my friends and I. "Yakety yak don't talk back" "go get the meat" and i can't forget when instead of clown leather face spells F-o-o-d only to be told try again to his frustration. This is definitely a ROE classic. Watch it, enjoy it for what it is. An awesome ride of a horror movie.
