That's like criticizing the Wright Brothers plane. Gory horror films didn't even exist before this.

OG Horror flick. All others measured against this one.

This is exactly why the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is genius.
Tons of people consider it extremely gory and it just isn't. There's really no actual shots of serious gore and hardly any blood, but everyone thinks there is.
It's similar to how Spielberg says the robotic shark in Jaws never worked right and that made it the classic that it is. He couldn't show you everything he wanted to, so he had to imply it enough that you could fill in the blanks in your own mind. Nobody can scare you like your own subconscious.
