tobe hooper be well know for his hit cult texas chainsaw massacre . whereas i do enjoy this film and i do not think it be as good a people say it be . everyone state it be excessively gory and violent and however when i watch it i do not think it be too bad . when i read review of this film . everyone state how they do not like it . over the top violence and poor plot and lack of depth be what the critic say . when my friend bring it over i watch it and find it a pleasant surprise . it open up with a good and solid and brutal and violent murder . what follow be a series of other death of tenant in an block of apartment and and one woman try to see out what happen . the murder be very original and and gory but i think could have be good if the director have a big budget equal make the death scene even bad and bump the rating to an 18 ( uk ) . the only thing i have against this film be that the killer isn not properly explain . he say to have be fight out of his dead mother and therefore be bear a a part of death . this could have be explain a bit more and and the reason why he be disfigure be never explain either . the end be a bit more to be desire as well . the police arrive and and the body be miss . next thin you know he jump through a window ( on the third floor ) to attack the victim again and and end up be hung outside . again when the police arrive the body be go . what would have be well be if he would have win and and kill the victim in the way he try to ( saw her in half ) but that just my sick opinion . overall this film be impressive with good scare and gory death and a suspenseful and indulging plot . much good than i expect and a well deserve positive .
