In the film, Leatherface holds a chainsaw and appears in front of the heroine with the face of the dead actor, feathers flying around him, and a slow motion, which is really memorable. The movement of the camera in this film is particularly outstanding, and the editing is even more amazing. A series of close-ups of the heroine's eyes are cut together to express the heroine's panic vividly. This kind of killing without blood, relying entirely on composition to make the audience understand the arrangement, does not reduce the sense of horror at all. In one of the scenes, the killer hung the female character alive on an iron hook in the slaughterhouse.
