Summary: Incredible
Review: I went into this expecting to be bored out of my mind like I was when I saw the origional. However after I was done watching this I had chills and and was out of breath.This movie does what makes an incredible horror film. It creates thrills and has a good story to. Plus the family is not a bunch of inbred hicks, but actually a big country family that happen to cannibals. The chills are many and by no means is this movie a splatter film. Anyone who has problems with this are the ones who have problems with remakes anyway. By far this is one of the best Horror films in a long while.

Summary: A Skeptic is Horrifically Surprised!
Review: I was very skeptical about this remake. I didn't want to see it because I was afraid it would be a horrible film and a mockery of the classic from the 70s. Then I started hearing that fans f the first one went and saw it and thought it was excellent. I deceided to take a viewing of it myself. ... This scared ... me, just like the original has done numerous times! This was an excellent retelling and showing more of Leatherface at work was very interesting indeed. They didn't just slap a bunch of gore and language and then ship it. They actually took some time and made it into a suspenseful horror classic that Tobe himself would be proud of. This ususallly never heppens for remakes. It was a great movie, one of the best remakes of a classic ever!

Summary: NOT TRUE, but still a GREAT HORROR THRILLER
Review: Contrary to what all of the hardcore horror seekers want to believe, the plot of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is not true in itself, as writer/director Tobe Hooper of the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre has stated in one or more interviews (legitimate interviews with Hooper are on the web if you take time to look). But before you get disappointed and discouraged just from hearing that, also know that even though Hooper's story was not a true story, it DID have many similarities to a serial killer who did exist. Ed Gein, a Wisconsin farmer, had a demented habit consisting of the removal of corpses from their graves and mutilating their bodies to satisfy his desires, and going as far as to wear pieces of their flesh on himself. Gein was also convicted of the murder of two women, but not in quite the same explicitly gruesome fashion in which "Leatherface" takes care of his victims. Understand that I'm not knocking the movie at all. I saw it and thought it was a really great horror flic, but I'm always a skeptic so I had to find out whether or not it was a true story. It isn't, but the similarities are there. BOTTOM LINE!!!......enjoy this sweet movie and then check out the facts afterward!

Summary: Had me Jumping!
Review: OK, I have read alot of reviews about this movie and people who rate it poorly just boggles my mind. I can't believe people would say it is boring and not scary. Of course anyone going to see a scary movie with the intent to critique and judge its flaws are not going to enjoy it. The only way to enjoy a horror movie is to sit back, relax, and look forward to being scared and not worry about all that other stuff. I thought the acting was great, which is not something you see in horror movies too often. I found that the characters were genuine and thier actions based on the situations they were presented were just how someone would react, which again most horror movies lack. You always see some stupid idiot who runs up the stairs instead of heading for the door, not this movie baby. The best example is when a stranger blows her head off in thier vehicle, I ask myself what would I do in that sitution. I expected the characters to dump the body along the side of the road and continue on thier merry way, because that is what a character in a scary movie would do, I don't find that to be realistic. If that happened to me, I'd be headed for the nearest place I can find and get the police or whoever I can find, and that is just what the characters did in this movie. I was very impressed. Another great example is this. Suppose you see a friend or brother or someone you care about very deeply suffering, and I mean they are in the worst agonizing pain then you could possibly imagine, you know they are going to die from thier injuries, would you put them out of thier misery. It would be the hardest thing you'd ever have to do in your life, wouldn't it, wouldn't it tear you up inside to know you have to kill someone you love to save them from more agony? I know I would do it as much as it would tear my heart inside out, that is what I would have done, and that is what was done in this movie. I really don't want to give more examples because it would give too much of the movie away, but I stress, I found it to be very realistic and that is what made it even more scary and suspenseful. By the time I walked out of that theatre I was so creeped out and believe me, that doesn't happen to me. I give it five stars just knowing it had that affect on me. If you love a good scary movie, and want to avoid cheese, and just want to be terrified and scared, then I say it will be a well spent 2 hours. Go see!

Summary: Just scary enough to make you cringe
Review: I typically don't like scary movies, but this one was actually really good. There wasn't too much blood and gore, and it wasn't so scary that I had to close my eyes the whole time. I also thought it was cool that they had the crime scene footage in it. I'll think twice, and then think again and again about picking up a hitch hiker after this movie!

Summary: A True Horror Film
Review: This was one of the best horror films I've seen in years. Unlike so much garbage passing itself as horror of late (i.e. Darkness Falls, etc.) this is a TRUE horror film. It is dark, disturbing, and not hung up on useless effects. Like the original TCM and other films like Psycho, it's really about how true horror is something people just kind of stumble into and how the true monsters really lurk in the dark corners of the human mind. It is a gruesome film, but not a gore movie. There is more blood here (the meat hook scene is truely disturbing) than in the original, but it's very tame by most standards. It is a great, "old school" horror film that is meant to be brutal, dark, disturbing, and have absolutely no hint of a happy ending. It's also worth seeing just for R. Lee Ermy's great performance as about the most twisted policeman you could imagine. One thing needs to be clarified that has annoyned me to no end. As I walked out of the theater, I overheard a number of people who clamied that they "heard about" the true story in texas and that some of the black and white footage and the start of the movie was even real. Come on people...how stupid can you actually get. The movie was "inspired" on a true story but it didn't happen in Texas, there were no roaming teenagers, and no chainsaws were invloved. The oringal TCM was inspired by Ed Gein of Plainfield, Wisconsin. He only confessed to murdering 2 or 3 people in the 1950s, and the rest of his exploits (making bone furniture, human hair rugs, skin suits, etc) were the result of grave robbing. Psycho and the "Buffalo Bill" character in Silence of the Lambs were also somewhat based on Gein.

Summary: One of the best horror movies i have ever seen!
Review: This movie is horrificaly awesome! unlike what you would think (you damn computer nerds spouting off before youve even seen it!) this movie doesn't just add a bunch of blood and guts like most recent horror movies and remakes, this movie has some gore but really terrifies you with the the thought of what your not seeing and what Leatherface does down in that basement all the time. it really makes you get in the shoes of the kids and the thought of being there with this unusual brutality is where the real horror lies! and Leatherface looks scarier then the original- definitly the scariest look of any horror villian. One part in the movie has him puting together a new "mask" with his sewing machine after he got it off a victim(dont worry, they dont show him taking it off)put what is freaky about that is after he makes it he puts it on so when he is chasing the remaining vivtims, the victims see the face of their old friend-CREEPY! the music adds a great part to the film with chilling violins instead of the horrificly annoying screaching in the old movies like Halloween or Friday, its a crawling rumbleing sound! and instead of movies like halloween where the music shreeks at every surpise killing it, this movie is silent creating a false sense of relaxation until something jumps or Leatherface comes through the door with his screaming chainsaw, its realy cool i must say! Everything about this movie surprised me- how it is still a very original story(apart from the original)not all thrash and gash, how chilling the villian looks- I mean his mask his made of skin!, how NOT gory it is compared to other horror movies are, and how it all came together where i think this and the original are THE BEST HORROR MOVIES OF ALL TIME!

Summary: TEXAS cHAINSAW mASSACRE
Review: this review is to the guy (( nightshade)) who claims to be the ed gein expert yet dosent even have the facts straight - u claim he wore a ( woman suit ) IT WASNT A WOMAN SUIT - he used to dress up as his mother thats where the idea of psycho came from - psycho was based on ed gein and his obsession with his mother - ed gein lived with his mother and when she died he kept her in the bedroom and created a personal shrine to her and used to walk around dressed in her clothes ( not a woman suit ) dummy- it was his mothers clothes and one of his 2 female victims he made a skin mask out of - not a woman suit . ed gein was also a necropheliac ( he had sex with the dead ) - he didnt have any relationships with women at all or men - he had a love of the dead. he used to rob local graveyards at night and then ...- the movies psycho , silence of the lambs and the texas chainsaw massacre all have parts of ed gein in them but are not all exact remakes of ed geins life or crimes- though there is a documentary on gein i think - all these movies arnt specifically based on him they just throw in some parts of his crimes and then they say they based it on ed gein.- they got the idea of the movies from him and his crimes back in the 50's. - so do ur research on ed and also go see the movie before u decide to review it. texas chainsaw massacre 1 and this movie are excellent and good horror films , i recomend it.
