The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Special Edition)

Rating:
Summary: BAD!!!
Review: This is by far the worst texas chainsaw massacre movie ever. The all of the older ones are. If you want a good one get the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Jessica Biel (4 1/2 star). It has the thrill and sort of a love story to go along with it.

Review: full of shocks
thrills
spills
chills
shocking visuals
disgusting and gory death scenes
creepy background textures
strange locations
amazing movie
great actors
great plot
interesting ending
see this movie
I watched it 2 times on dvd that I have already
will watch it more
it gets laughs and chills more and more every time I watch it
heck when I saw the trailer online and they showed the snapshot visuals of dead people up close it made my eyes bug out. that's how I knew it would be terrifying. Tobe Hooper is amazing with this movie. see it. it will make your veins pop out (not literally)

Summary: Nothing Special
Review: Maybe I'm spoiled over the last twenty years or so with good fx and production. All that aside this low budget film fails to hit with the impact I was expecting. Poor production should not stop a film from being scarey. The first four killings were done rather quickly and without much fanfare; lacking suspense, detail or special effects. The last 30 minites or so picked up a little bit and kept your interest. In brief, it's worth a rental fee just because of the legacy that was created and spawned since.

Summary: There is nothing special about this edition.
Review: Who is this company, and how do they own the rights to one of the greatest pieces of horror cinema ever created? All I can hope is that sometime soon someone like Elite, or Image, or even Anchor Bay can get ahold of this film and give it the attention and justice it deserves. If you have never seen this movie before, then it is worth picking it up, cheap. However, if you think that you are upgrading from the last DVD release that was out a few years ago (brown cover w/ Leatherface holding the chainsaw) THIS IS THE EXACT SAME EDITION, just a new cover. No new transfer, audio is still (...), and no new special features. Don't fall for the "Special Edition". There is nothing special here.

Summary: Avoid
Review: I just need to note that I have not actually seen this film, but I feel that I understand it well enough from the assorted trade publications and articles I've read concerning it. Plus, it really holds that if you've seen one of this type of movie, you've seen them all (and I've seen the biggies - "Child's Play", "Silent Night, Deadly Night 2", "Prom Night").

Sure, I love horror movies (although I go for the more cerebral, "Boggy Creek"-esque stuff, which relies more on brains than blood), but I cannot understand the appeal of this type of film. I mean, who wants to watch a movie where the lead character goes to unsuspecting people at a busted-down roadside motel and massacres them with chainsaws? Where's the fun and excitement in that? I can't imagine that there is any. I've heard this doesn't even take place in Texas, which renders the title completely meaningless.

So I would suggest you save your money and invest in something worthwhile. I may not have seen this movie, but I know a rat when I smell one.

Summary: No gas for the van, but plenty for the chainsaw!
Review: A well aged horror movie. It's about as sick as you can get. This movie opened the door for future horror movies. Great gore, maybe too much screaming. (oh my head.) And boy can leatherface run with a chainsaw!
I still wonder what happens to the other girl???
If your a horror fan, see this film. The remake was good because I enjoyed staring at Jessica Biel, but the original is still best.

Summary: Classic Horror
Review: "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Last house on the Left" showed these new guys how to do it!!! Forget the blood and guts, these two movies don't need it!!! and the low-budget "EVERYTHING" only adds to it, people!!!!! both have stood the test of time, as we wouldn't be talkin' about it over thirty years later, Please!!! we'd have moved on to these ahem, new ones?! that have since come and gone, where are they?! Everything out there today is, in some way, loosely based on these two!!! don't kid yourself. Regardless, these two are here to stay, they aren't goin' anywhere...and i guess, those who just don't "get it" WON'T...the mood's all different today...but you guys who grew up in the 70's know what i'm talkin' about.

Summary: One of the top 5 horror films ever made
Review: Truely one of the greats. Freaky,scary at times with just the right amount of humor. This is a classic by one of the great diectors in horror films Tobe Hooper

Rating:
Summary: 4 stars for being a pioneer of the genre....
Review: But maybe 2 for the film itself. I'm sorry, but having seen it when it first came out, about 10 years later, and again just a few days ago, while it most definitely has its moments and is important as history, the orignal TCM promises much, but actually delivers very little. Most of it is suggestion rather than graphic. It's the concept that's frightening, not the movie itself.
