The visual palette includes grimy crucified dolls, fly-specked pig carcasses, body parts floating in murky jars, a tobacco-chewing redneck sheriff, and many slender beams of sunlight cutting through dank, dusty interiors. The camera lovingly photographs Biel's tank-topped bosom and sculpted abs as she's running in terror from a bloated, chainsaw-wielding, human-skin-wearing maniac. This remake lacks the macabre comedy of the original; it's all about the nauseating sensation of waiting for something to jump out of the dark. Also featuring Eric Balfour (Six Feet Under) and R. Lee Ermey (Full Metal Jacket, Mail Call). --Bret Fetzer Description: Inspired by a true story and the classic 1974 film. A group of teenagers take a detour from a road trip and what happens next is beyond anyone?s darkest fears and raw nightmares. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "...I don't know about you guys, but I happen to like my teeth right where they are..."Introduction: For starters, I never really planned on watching anything related to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series, mostly because it reaches outside the type horror films that I can stand to watch (and no, I'm not talking teen-slasher flicks). Excessive amounts of blood and gore have never been a selling point nor a entertainment factor for me, yet the curiosity of wanting to see what the hub-bub about this film was about (and why it was considered so excellent among Horror aficionados) ...

Read More Rating: - Great edition to the seriesi personally dont look at this movie as being a remake. because if youve seen all of these chainsaw movies youll know they often times use a different sick and demented family of cannibals to tell the same basic story of some unlucky people getting stranded or whatever in the middle of nowhere and crossing paths with these familys. then it becomes a disturbing terror fest of screams blood and gore while they try to escape. so basically they all could be called remakes in a way with the exception of ... Read More Rating:  - As ineffective as it is unnecessaryI couldn't agree more with the reviewer who stated "If ain't broke, don't fix it". It's been about five years now since the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake surfaced, and there are many mixed opinions of it. Enough time has passed to analyze the movie, and I honestly feel that the original has managed to age better over 35 years than this one has over a mere 5 years. However, this is hardly surprising when dealing with a film that's as indicative of its time as TCM 2003. The basic frame work ... Read More Rating:  - Jessica Wins the Wet T-Shirt Contest!Forget the first half of the movie. Synopsis of the second half: Sheriff pours whiskey on Jessica. Jessica runs around in the rain. Jessica falls down the cellar steps and lands in a foot of water. Leatherface notices Jessica starting to dry out and turns on the sprinkler system (and you thought he was a bad man). Jessica runs around in the rain again. This turkey of a movie is a great excuse to ogle Jessica (and she's stunning) but there is nothing else to recommend it. |
