I have watched it for the first time today after being put off in my youth by friends saying it’s the scariest thing ever.
It was actually laughable in parts

Going by the title, think you might have watched the porn version.

MummBraTheEverLeaking · 09/06/2019 21:17

Obviously auto correct has not been your friend here but what a premise Grin

Want2727 · 09/06/2019 21:17

Bloody autocorrect I meant Massacre obviously Grin and I know chainsaw is all one word
But maybe Texas Chainsaw masseur would have been more scary Grin

Um.....

VodselForDinner · 09/06/2019 21:17

Having my body touched by a stranger is right up there on my list of horrors.

Clawdy · 09/06/2019 21:18

Masseur?......hmm,sounds interesting Grin

Ilikeanimalsmorethanpeople · 09/06/2019 21:18

Massuer not scary at all...the Massacre made me sleep with the lights on.

FadedRed · 09/06/2019 21:18

Grin Grin

Ilikeanimalsmorethanpeople · 09/06/2019 21:19

Massuer? Masseur? I would blame my phone but I have no idea.

FadedRed · 09/06/2019 21:21

You know those ‘blooper reel’ TV shows? I think that MN should do an ‘Autocorrect fail’ thread.

Laiste · 09/06/2019 21:23

A chainsaw masseur would be pretty cutting edge ....

OKBobble · 09/06/2019 21:24

At the time it was released it was the goriest thing out so that would be why it was scary then.

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 09/06/2019 21:24

Being massaged with a chainsaw would not be a particularly pleasurable experience, I imagine.

ContessaIsOnADietDammit · 09/06/2019 21:26

Confused massages have changed since my day....

Sparklesocks · 09/06/2019 21:26

It’s all relative, I don’t think it’s scary but it’s very gory and upsetting!

Scarcelyburnt · 09/06/2019 21:27

Hahaha. Grin the responses are great.

Freddiefox · 09/06/2019 21:28

It’s horrible, particularly leather face, and when the old man is hitting her with a small hammer

Overmydeadbody456 · 09/06/2019 21:29

Which ones did you watch?
The early ones from the 70s and 80s are ridiculous

The 2 from the 00s (The one with the Jessica Biel, and The Beginning) are jumpy and decent

I haven’t seen any of the ones made in the last 10 years

Fairylea · 09/06/2019 21:29

Love the title GrinGrin

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 09/06/2019 21:29

Have you been massaging anyone's tits recently?

SinkGirl · 09/06/2019 21:30

If your masseuse is using a chainsaw, they’re doing it wrong.

PineappleSeahorse · 09/06/2019 21:30

I found it very touching personally, if a little too intimate.

Want2727 · 09/06/2019 21:30

I think psychological thrillers creep me out more then full on gore. It was the early film yes

Marilynmansonsthermos · 09/06/2019 21:32

I still find the old one scary , saw a bit recently and had to turn it off, it's so bleak!

donquixotedelamancha · 09/06/2019 21:33

massages have changed since my day....

Chainsaw massages are just the latest faddy thing- like ear candling or seaweed wraps.

I must say it's made my local spa a lot less peaceful and they don't seem to get much repeat custom.
