Strong and Moving!

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Easily one of the best remakes of all time and MASSIVELY UNDERRATED! I honestly believe this is one of the most legitimately scary films full of sheer tension, depravity, and an absolutely terrifying portrayal of Leatherface. The atmosphere seeps with bleakness and disgust throughout every well shot scene and the overall feel is captured even better than the classic original imo with brilliant set and costume designs. While it does take about 40 min to really take off, when it does it's one of the most engrossing horror finales full of insane brutality and disturbing imagery that says with you. R. Lee Ermey gives the best performance possible of a backwoods sheriff/psychotic Sawyer family leader and truly gets under your skin. Bryniarski is near flawless and perfected the movements and intimidation level of Leatehrface in every shot he's on screen and steasl the show. I believe this remake is vastly superior to the classic original, and that it was hated and scrutinized so much because it's one of the first big remakes and TCM purists didn't give it a proper chance. it's in my top 10 horror's.

While it may not stack up to the original (how many sequels and/or remakes can?) this movie is an excellent mix of modernized shock horror, perversion and sickening humor to both revile your moral fibers and yet grab hold of your full attention throughout the entire film.This movie is not for those who are looking for (for lack of better words) "clean horror". By that I mean horror movies that stick to the methodical "bad guy kills dumb teenagers" in a scripted and fully anticipated manner that has been rehashed a thousand and one times. If movies like I Spit on Your Grave, The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, etc. makes you want to run for the office of the Chairman of the FCC then this movie probably won't be your bag. Now by no means am I saying that this movie goes to the depths of depravity that those classics dove into. Simply implying that this movie (more often than not) crosses that fine line that separates "wholesome horror" from, well, "unwholesome horror". For those that are into Rob Zombie movies, think along those lines in terms of "holy ****, I can't be believe they did that!...cool beans!" reactions..If you think about it, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise is really best suited for pushing the boundaries. Unlike other horror mongers such Jason and Friday the 13th, Michael and Halloween, Freddy and Nightmare on Elm Street , the TCM franchise really doesn't revolve around one character. Leatherface is the "closer" but he's really not the main "antagonist". The crazy Hewitt family with it's infinite number of mix and match characters, each with it's own warped proclivities are. In this movie, one of the main charaters (Charlie Hewitt portrayed by veteran actor R. Lee Ermey) definitely steals the show as the depraved patriarch of the clan.Ultimately, to each it's own. But if you go into this movie with a clear mind and being willing to simply accept whatever the movie throws at you, I think you'll be overall surprised. Is it great? No, not in the grand scale of the horror movie universe, but for a "remake", this one is a pretty darn good watch. Bring some popcorn, watch with a friend, leave your high horse at the door.

This new version of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" adapts the original story and tries to base it in a new time-line while adding some new elements to it. Actually I enjoyed it more than I feared I would. A Chainsaw Massacre is one of the most boring and unnecessary film plots I can possibly imagine, so I was kind of glad that the "running from a guy with a chainsaw but getting slaughtered nonetheless" passages were kept to a bearable amount.Instead a setting is created in which a whole village is somehow involved in a crime plot that is as awful as morbid. I liked the atmosphere resulting from this, that aimed a bit more at psychical horror than mere splatter and I think that this is what made the movie okay for me. Otherwise the plot is as stupid as, unfortunately, most horror movies. A group of beautiful young people, stranding somewhere and being slaughtered. I don't know how many versions of this exact same plot are still necessary until it's enough but I guess it will be a lot.If you take the movie for what it is, without aiming too much at a comparison with the original movie, which of course is a quite plausible thing to do, or expecting any greatness plot-wise, this film is quite enjoyable. Nothing I would add to any list of favorites, but nothing anyone has to apologize for neither.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003): Dir: Marcus Nispel / Cast: Jessica Biel, R. Lee Ermey, Eric Balfour, Mike Vogel, David Dorfman: Although not as pitiful as the Psycho remake, this is still a pointless mess at any rate. It regards an event or crime based on fact regarding killer Ed Gein who is portrayed here as Leather-Face who uses the skin of his victims to create his own person. One element that both films have in common is effective opening scenes. In the original a van load of hippies pick up a deranged hitchhiker, whereas in the remake they pick up a victim who eventually shoots herself. Teenagers stop off at a farm house where chainsaw wielding Leather-face and the rest of his insane family slice and dice them. Not a bad effort by director Marcus Nispel but he is no Tobe Hooper. Only R. Lee Ermey is interesting as the deranged Sheriff. Jessica Biel runs and screams and survives because she is the star. It might have helped greater had she endured more of the mayhem that Marilyn Burns put up with while being forced to be at a demented family dinner where she was sighted as the main course. Eric Balfour and Mike Vogel die graphic deaths. That seems to be the point of this junk. Presents mindless idiots to be murdered by barn yard tools. The original presented a realistic happening while this remake showcases an encore of nonsense. Score: 3 ½ / 10
