One moment of true Horror Genius in the new TCM (Small Spoiler)
I really liked this new remake, I was very sceptical, as I think most are, However The scene in the car when Leatherface attacks and Jessica looks out the front window and sees Leatherface wearing her Boyfriends Face!!!! WOW, I thought that was true Terror that hasnt been in horror movies as of late. I really liked the intro as well, With the police report, it really set up a great story to follow. I also liked the fact that the movie gave purpose to the Teens trip, It actually explained why they were on the backroads. and then we actually got to see leatherface, I really liked that, and the fact they built his character up a little more, Gave him a name and a face, makes him more real and scarier IMO.

Sorry if my review upset you Backfire, I relize you didnt like the movie, or seeing his face, or much of any of it. I agree the cheap scare tactics were entirley way to cliche, But the atmosphere was great, the house was awsome, and yes the sheriff was really a great character!
When was first a member here, I had a feeling that BF didn't like me. I think that either changed, or he never hated me at all and I was just being paranoid

if you actually watched the original TCM you would know the reason the kids were on backroads was because they were going to an old house of a dead relative. i think knowing to much about a character brings the threat level down, in the original TCM you knew just enough about leather face. You knew he was pshycoyic, You knew he butchard people and diddnt give a damn about your feelings. The only thing he cared about was seeing your insides and wearing your face. The original TCM was by far more firghtening, and he actually looked like he was wearing a real human face. The leatherface in the remake was nothing more than a cliche movie monster with a chainsaw

Backfire,
That scene in which Leatherface is wearing Her boyfriends face is the scariest scene I have scene in the theater in a long long time. Lets face it, Modern horror is hurting, Bad. And at this point any scare thats not a cliche "BOO" scare is welcome IMO. I would like you to tell me a Genuine terrifying moment from the First TCM, and i bet its not much different from that scene there! Now please dont forget, I am on yourside, I agree the first TCM was better on all levels (i need to see again its been a few years) but this new one was the better Horror movie's I have scene at the theater in a long time. Most of the best horror these days are straight to video, Dog Soldiers Etc...

in the original i felt threatend by the entire family, i got the feeling that this family was blood thirsty and preyed on innocent people all the time, which made the movie more frightening. in this movie it felt the only threat came from leatherface, and that the people were killed just because the girl dissrespected the old guy. So in some way you could say the murders were justified, atleast in the horror world
