Which TCM is the best?

Original or remake? i like the original best but the remake's pretty awesome

The original is infinitely better then the unnecessary and mundane remake.

Age old question.

I have come to respect the original TCM for the shock value it provided for it's time. That said, the original and all the horror movies of it's time have been trumped, but do hold their place in cinematic history.

However, the TCM remake just held my attention. Kept me interested, and casting Jessica Biel, in turn making her a real potential scream queen didn't hurt.

My vote went to the remake.

Even though the remake was rated one of the worst movies of 2003, i give it a 8.5/10 I liked it bunches

stupid thread...

vote> original

Harsh, but true Hockey 🙂
This isn't even a real question; the original blows the remake out of the water ✅

im going with the original because it was based on a true stroy. by the way im going to blockbuster tomorrow and my mom says i can only get 1 movie. what should i get?!

1) It's not based on a true story.

2) The 2003 version isn't on DVD yet.

..and guys, it's not a "stupid" or "pointless" thread. People are going to have differing opinions. Hopefully, people respect my opinion re: the remake, just because it boils down to personal preference.

im not a huge fan of the movies but i think ill go with the original just because i felt that the newer one was looking more for those cheap scares where the original had true creepyness.

alough i will admit that the guy hanging from the hook hitting the keys with his toe is pretty awesome!

By the way, I like your sig line pic, and I felt inspired to jazz it up. Take 'em if ya want.

One more..

What movie you like more is a matter of opinion. The part that is fact, is the origina is indeed the better film. It was more important, more creative, more original, and far better in every possible respect.

It is recognized by just about everyone who matters as one of the most important and influential horror films of all time. This alone makes it better then the remake, plus the fact that the remake did nothing special or different for the genre then any other modern horror movie.

But, like I said. Which movie you like better is your own personal opinion, but the original is factually a better film.

Sorry to break it to you, somewhere in the this board i had another TCM thread, and everyone was talking about how it was real....Its not real, at all..It was bades on a man named Edward Gein, Yes he DID slaughter his victims and wear their skin, but what he didnt do was, live in texas, live in a big house, slaughter the victims in his own home, or use a chainsaw.
He didnt have very many ALIVE victims, most of the ones were alraedy dead, he took them from their graves, cut their skin off and wore it.
so the story is based on a tad bit of truth, but not much.

Yep, the story of TCM is very very loosely based on Ed Gein. He also ate the bodies he dug up, which is where the caniballism came from in TCM. He also made furniture out of the bone, which also happened in tcm.

i didnt mean tcm! i meant ANY movie. i wanna see Cannibal Holocaust but i've seen all the Halloween movies except part 6 so i want to get that. which one's better?

Cannibal Holocaust is outstanding.

then i'll get that thanks!
oh and is it gory or scary? to me gore isnt scary just gross

It's really gory.

i'm seeing it. i love gory movies!!!!!! r there any guts spilling out?! WAIT DONT TELL ME i wanna be surprised

Just so you know, there's actual animal deaths in the movie, and they are very graphic.
