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...

You shoulda seen 28 days later in theaters, that movie was outstanding. Relied on intensity and atmosphere to really creep you out and make you intimidated, rather then jump scares.

You want me to tell you a genuine terrifying moment from the first one? Fine. How about the first time we see LeatherFace, when he opens the metal door and smacks the guy with the hammer, then immediatly closes it again. It was the most shocking introduction to a horror villian I've ever seen. That scene was extremely haunting.

Another scene, probably the most infamous scene from the movie... The scene in which LeatherFace hangs the girl on the hook, and she's left alive forced to watch leatherface mame her dead boyfriend while she can just sit there and watch while there's a metal rod through her spine. Terrifying.

I'm sure on paper, that scene you were talking about looked really good, but i thought it was just funny and cheezy.

Shit.I need to watch the original TCM again.I havent seen it since I was little so I didnt remember that part.Did anybody see that lame TCM that was made in the 90's with Matthew McConnehy and Rene Zelleweger?That was so gay.Probably like the new remake.

Yeah, it was crappy.

That one ****ed up TCM's memory too.Fortunately it wasn't promoted as much.

The original shouldn't be compared to teh sequels, it stands on it's own as a true horror masterpiece.

Not comparing.Just saying it ****s it up for those who havent seen the original cause then they think the original is crap too.

Haven't seen it Some people say it's good others say it's bad i guess i'll just have 2 decide 4 myself!

You cant really ruin a movie, it was good, a sequel or whatever doesnt change it. In my opinion of course.

I agree with Blane.

and i think it would be scaryas hell to look up and see a madman wearing your best friends FACE!!!!!

I just want to say they are very similar movies, and the new one was good IMO. a worthy predicessor to the original, Unlike TCM new Generation!!!

Of course they are similar, but the new one did those same scenes and messed em up. They didn't have nearly the same power or shock as teh first one. Just messed up the feel of the movie.

I think the scenes they redid were the biggest failures of the movie. EVerytime one of the scenes from the original happend, it felt like they made them to apparent. like they were trying to say LOOK we included everyones favorite and most memorable scenes. What do they wanna cookie for doing this. Also the hook scene was OVER exaggerated, and also got repetive. The whole hook thing became a sad trend in this movie

Very true.

Also the hook scene was OVER exaggerated, and also got repetive. The whole hook thing became a sad trend in this movie

Cmon like the Dinner scene in the original wasnt OVER exaggerated, and repetitive? all the screaming in the original was a little repetitive too.
Also a thing that really enhanced the movie for me was when I went to see it, I went Solo, To one of the first showing in the day on a monday i believe it was, Anyway there was only one couple in the theater and they sat in the far back on the other side from me. The whole movie I had the Real feeling of Isolation going, Pretty Creepy, yet very cool experience!

I dont know where you get your logic in judging a horror movie cow boy. Infact i dont wanna know, you can keep it. NO NO NO NO the dinner scene in the original was not over exaggerated. I dont even know what makes you think this. There were scenes in the dinner that were long,but they were just dragged out to promote the raw realism of the film. Infact the only scene i can think of is when they were trying to bash the girl with a hammer. This is a family who enjoyed torturing people of course there going to take there time.

I dotn mean to offend but i must say the reply you give where the screaming got repetive is the most ignorant remark ive ever heard reffering to a horror movie review. This is still one of the only movies where the characters actually convince you they are horrified. The girl was delierious with fear, what else is she gonna do. I would like to see how much you dont scream when being chased by a nut with a chainsaw and tied to a chair knowing your about to die a gruesome death. FEAR and screaming are some key aspects in making a horror movie. again i dont mean to offend, maybe you meant somthing else

for some reason I cant compare the new TCM to the first one... it just feels wrong. I liked them both alot honestly, although Im more a fan of the gritty-ness of the original , I also liked the dampness and the pleasure of the pain that leather face was dishing out on the legless idiot.

I agree about the screaming rages, she obviously was hoping with all her heart that someone would hear her and come running to the rescue, and the fact that it didnt made her survival seem more unlikely.

she may have survived but only to become catatonic, that would really blow

I am on yourside, I agree the first TCM was better on all levels

i agree there are more ways to express fear than just sheer screaming. However the original TCM was a horror movie that shot for rawness with realism in character reactions. This calls for the most basic and plausible reaction of a person put in that situation. Seeing how the TCM is such a gruesome act of violence. It is hard to judge how someone would actually react, one reaction that is for sure is undoubted fear. the best way to espress this is delierious fear driven screaming. So it is only logical that every scene this girl would be in would have her screaming in fear. This is the most basic action when people are scared. Take the most basic scare tactic and times it by a thousand, you are bound to get mind numbing screams

lol tex your to funny man!

backfire you sound like the guy in the movie theatre everyone throse popcorn at that always goes thats so stupid! while everyone is like AHH! (being scared) you laugh out loud and say how lame!

😛 lol but we love you BF
