BackFire's TCM Remake Review

Indeed. They were doomed from the get go. I felt bad for the truck driver at the end. That whole deal must have really feaked him out.

Hey, BF, here's something for you. I have a friend who says that the remake is (and I quote): 'a hell of a lot better than the original'. Your thoughts?

I never responded to this.... Well here goes...

You're friend is incorrect and obviously doesn't know a good horror movie from The Ring.

The Ring sucked as did the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake...in my opinion.

and the saddest part about the remake, in my opinion, is that people everywhere think that in america there actually was a guy, with a family of rednecks, wearing other peoples skin who killed people with a chainsaw. at my school in one of my classes i had an argument with some of the girls because they think the "police footage" at the end of the remake is real and that story really happened. as much as i said "not only is it only BASED on a story, but they would NEVER stop looking for a cop killer who also killed other people with a CHAINSAW" they still beleive in it. were breeding idiots people, and these movies are food for their idiocy.

-sigh- I feel stupid for saying this right now.But I liked the remake actually.Now dont jump on me...I can explain...no place around where I live has the original TCM....A sin?...Yes I know...My only chance to see this movie was...god forbid...the remake...I saw the remake...and I liked it.I think the reason I liked it was because I didnt see the original.But now I want to see the original even more...knowing how much better than the remake it is...I have to see it...

Ack!And guys?...I dont wanna be the reject here.But those damned jumpy shock scenes really do drive me crazy.They do kind of scare me...maybe I am just a pansy and all but correct me if I am wrong but it somebody just pops out of nowhere and its your friend with a little jump out suprise thing whats the first thing you ussually say?
well in most cases I know of its..."Dude, you scared the shit outa me.."Or something applying to this matter.So the kind of Jumpy scenes should kind of scare people...and I dont really think its just girls...since I myself am a guy...But anyway...I must see this original TCM!!!

yeah, i jump when that shit happens too, but its not because i was SCARED, it was because i was STARTLED (spelt that wrong), its a cheap tactic to make their movies seem scary.

and dont worry, we wont hang you up for liking the movie, you have the right to (well i think that was, BF is a bit of a TCM Nazi so watch out😉)

From the way you guys make it sound I would probably despise this remake if I had seen the original.So now I must go on a quest to somehow obtain the original TCM!

just buy the damn thing, its $10 Aus on ebay TOPS. or just order it off amazon

I don't like any classic remakes most of it sucks big time.JM

I liked the remake. Its not nearly te caliber as the original but Damn Biel is so sexy it makes the movie worth owning!!

i dunno, like i say to most people who say a hot chick makes the movie good, if i wanted to see a hot chick, i'd watch porn, not some ditzy ***** ruining a movie for me

This movie sucked. I love the original, especially Sally's hysterical laugh and Leatherface's dance at the end [or tantrum, whichever you prefer].

I can hardly remember anything from it other than Jessica Biel being half decent. Didn't they do some bad 'Blair Witch Project' ending?

I liked the remake.

Jessica Biel is not ditzy.

I liked the remake. I think you have to see that first to actually appreciate it. Of course, after I saw the original, I wished I hadn't bought the special edition remake and just got the regular version. I still think it's okay, not NEARLY as good as the original.
