Answer: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

"The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" was released in 1974 and directed by Tobe Hooper.

The film was promoted as being based on real events that had happened. The character of Leatherface was based on real life murderer Ed Gein. Tobe hoped by having very little gore and blood in the film that it would be classified as PG. This didn't happen.

The main plot of the film follows the events that happen once the group stop off to explore the old farmhouse that belonged to Sally and Franklin's grandparents. Sally and Franklin are the brother and sister mentioned in the question. Two of the group go off looking for a place to go swimming and stumble upon the infamous Sawyer farmhouse and the rest as we say is history.

The cast and crew worked long hours in the blistering Texan heat with the temperature reaching 110°F or 43 °C. Due to the fake blood not oozing out of the tube in the scene where grandpa sucks on the finger of Sally, they actually cut the actress' finger.

After being at theaters for a year in the UK, the film was eventually banned. The film was eventually allowed to be released again in 1999.

In scenes cut from the film, we found out that Ted Hardesty was actually Sally and Franklin's father. Sally and Franklin are the brother and sister who appeared in the first film.
