How's the nudity? How scary is this thing?

The nudity is just awful! Mainly due to the fact that there isn't any. And, in my opinion, the "isn't any" is the worst kind.

There was supposed to be a topless scene, but it never happened. I don't think I'll ever get over the thought of what could've been...

I thought this thing was scary as HELL when i first saw it. It really got to me considering I live in Texas but I dont like on a farm like in TCM. But it still scary. The scariest part was when you first see Leatherface I think.

I agree, The Boogeyman knows what he's talking about http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif. Amazing film imo. A true horror classic.

This film doesn't need gratuitous nudity or gore to be a gratifying horror film. It has EVERYTHING else. I really don't know what to say about TCM that I haven't said in the past. I’ll simply have to reiterate those accolades. It's easily my favorite film of all time. The pace is just relentless. The viewer never gets a chance to catch his/her breath. It's an exhausting exercise in grueling tension. Joe, please don't expect to see a sleazy exploitation flick. You won't be witnessing any excessive bloodshed. The film implies most of its carnage, and that technique is ten times more effective than having entrails soar in the camera’s direction. You have to go in with a certain mindset in order to enjoy the chaos. I wasn't necessarily floored on the first viewing, but it grew on me with each subsequent viewing. The saw is family...

I just watched the movie today and it sucked. It was stupid. Acting sucked and the storyline sucked.

Thanks, Ro! Joe, I'm sorry you didn't dig it. You'd probably enjoy the sequels a tad more.

Man, no one can say the Ramones never did anything for horror. They even wrote a song based on Tod Browing's Freaks. It's properly entitled Pinhead.

There was no gore or nudity and it felt boring on few parts, but it was very scary and had a grotesque feeling.
