Despite its title and reputation, the film contains surprisingly little on-screen gore—its power comes from relentless tension and suggestion. The dinner scene alone took 27 hours to film, with actress Marilyn Burns actually being cut to produce real blood for the finale. Loosely inspired by the crimes of Ed Gein, the film was banned in several countries and sparked massive controversy, yet it's now preserved in the Museum of Modern Art and the Library of Congress as a culturally significant work.
