 Texas Chainsaw Massacre (DVD)
Newest Review: ... Leatherface, a chainsaw wielding killer. There really is no need for any more of the plot than that, that is pretty much ... more  ... it, much like most slasher horror movies! Plot is generally incidental in any film of this genre, all is needed is a supply of victims and a way of getting them to the killer/killers. Once this is done it is just a case of who is going to die next and who, if anyone, will survive!
So the question is is there anything good about this remake at all? Well yes there are a few things that make it worth watching. Once things start TCM moves at a furious pace, it doesn’t slow down at all, giving you no time to sit back ...more |

How do remake a film that has possibly the biggest cult following of any horror film? How do you make a film that can beat, or even live up to, the realism, the darkness, the down and dirt style of the original?

Story Line The story starts by having five friends (Erin, Kemper, Andy, Morgan, and Pepper) coming back from a trip to Mexico where they have brought a load of weed. On the way back home they go through a town in the middle of nowhere, where they find a girl walking along the road. They nearly run her over and stop to find out what she was thinking of?walking ...

Cast Erin: Jessica Biel Morgan: Jonathan Tucker Kemper: Eric Balfour Leatherface/ Thomas Hewitt: Andrew Bryniarski Pepper Harrington: Erica Leerhsen Andy: Mike Vogel Sheriff Hoyt: R. Lee Ermey Old Monty: Terrence Evans The new version of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is a contemptible film: Vile, ugly and brutal. There is not a shred of a reason to see it. Those who defend it will have to dance through mental hoops of their own devising, defining its meanness and despair as "style" or "vision" or "a commentary on our world." It is not a commentary on anything, except the marriage ...
