The Toolbox Murders

As I understand, the original wasn't all that great. I got the remake directed by Tobe Hooper and I thought it wasn't bad. There was room for improvement but overall I thought it was okay.

Anyone see it?

The original is a real nasty piece of work. Particularly the first half where Camaron Mitchel goes ape with his toolbox, nailgun included. The nailgun scene has acheived some notoriety as it involves a bimbo playing with herself in a tub for what seems an enternity before being nailed to the wall.

I must catch the remake if only for Tobe's name on the credits. It's gotten mixed word of mouth, IIRC.

I liked the remake but only after watching most of the movie the first 30 minutes I thought were watchable but not entertaining it was just random killing

the original (uncut) version is still banned in the uk,the rerelease is cut,the original hokushin banned precert (pre 1983) is allso cut ,the original version is well nasty and like was said b4 me the nail gun bit and the woman playing with herself is all good,the remake is much tamer in atmosphere and in on screen violence,its only the bare basics of the story that are the same,the remake is a pretty well made movie and for most horror fans a good way to spend 90 mins,for u gorehounds like myself track down the uncut original it delivers the goods smile

Well, I spent the past 95 minutes on the remake and I am sorely disappointed. Just an ensamble cast of people I couldn't even begin to feel for, a plot that really made no sense, and to top it all off, it's evident that Hooper was trying to relive some of his TCM through the "killer", who looked a lot like Darkman. Seemed like "Tomb Raider" meets the killer from "Body Double".

I'd watch "Wrong Turn" again before I revisted this one.

Have you seen the original? If so, do you rate it higher or lower than this one?

I haven't seen the original, wish I could. Regardless, I'm sure it's way better.

The dvd release of the original here in the UK is suppose to have had lots of cuts to it.

As for the remake, I just got it through the post, so should be watching it soon.
