eh.
It wasn't crap....it wasn't great.......the remake is just an average slasher film, nothing special...nothing out of the ordinary. The only thing I really have against the movie is them throwing the TCM name on it. If you can't do it better.......why do it at all? It's sort of disrespectful to the original...........especially when all they made was a decent movie on par with most of the tripe that's coming out these days.
why on god's green fucking earth did you watch the Texas Chainsaw remake before the original?
I disagree with the lot of you, I thought it was good. Not the best horror i've ever seen but a refreshing change from the cheap teen horrors than have been released by the bucketload since Scream hit at the box office. I also think it was better than most of the remakes I have seen, it was a lot darker than most modern horror dares to be, the scene where Leatherface wears the guys face is genuinely chilling and you can feel the guys agony when he loses his leg in is tortured in the basement.
All in all I agree that it didn’t do the original justice, seems like the film makers didn’t have enough original ideas of their own so they borrowed several from Tobe Hooper. The end result, however, I found to be entertaining.
A really good flick I really enjoyed it and was tense the whole way through im sorry ive never seen the original and am not really planning to for now.But all and all it was really horrifying to see.And I agree with zombieman those torture scenes and where leatherface is where that guys face where done very well and at the right moment.
I was so on the edge of my seat when I was seeing leatherface chase that kid through the laundry hangline and when he cut of his leg I was just like..."Awesome!".
But I also found alot of flaws in it like you do in most every horror movie that comes out.There was alot of times where she could have tooken leatherfaces chainsaw one in particular where at the end when he and leatherface where in the locker hallways and leatherface was beeing torn up.He dropped the chainsaw and she could have picked it up and taken it with but instead she left it there and ran 😖
4/5 for me it was good and worth picking up and its a thrill ride the whole way through 😉
these are the same comments that people were making after Friday the 13th first came out almost 25 years ago.........
now we can look back on it and say it was just an average, pointless slasher flick........made to sell popcorn. Same will be said about this remake.
The original TCM on the other hand is now 30 years old and is still being praised as one of the best horror movies ever.
