Remake of the 1974 horror classic.]]> Review: Very bold and intense horror and a great DVD - While I fully appreciate and respect the tastes of others, let me just say I have no idea why the original is held in such high regard. It was truly one of the worst films I have ever seen. Nothing happened in it. There was ZERO suspense or excitement, the dialogue was barely audible and it felt like another half of it was missing. I hated it and I am so puzzled why so many people love that film. Granted, back in 1973 it may have been easier to scare audiences and the low-budget nature of the original may have contributed to the ugly look of the film but I see no reason to credit the original director (Tobe Hooper) with any of the film's so-called qualities. The man's career fell flat on it's face soon after and I think his most famous movie was something of a fluke. It would not have succeeded today. Obviously, as I just said, audiences today are exposed to a larger number of movies and can choose and discriminate more easily. There are some who will say the only people who can enjoy this will be degenerate teenagers who don't know what real horror is. And some who will call the film to glossy. But none of this I find fair criticism. I am, in no way, a fan of Michael Bay or any of his movies. But he had the right idea in keeping the budget very low for this movie ($8 million) and seems to be more skilled in packaging and producing than directing. The film is not 'glossy' or 'clean'. The equipment use to make the film is more sophisticated than that on the original but this is not 'The Rock' or 'Armageddon' and there are no hundred-shots-in-a-second and flashy camera tricks. They all tried their best to pull of a nervous, raw horror film that stands on it's own and I think they have. This was sooooooo much better than the first. The characters actually HAVE character this time. I got on their side, I got involved in the action (yes, there is action this time, and a LOT of it) and the acting was done well. Plus Jessica Biel is VERY hot. So many new dimensions and situations occur is this remake that elevates to something a zillion times what the original was. Don't automatically think that because Michael Bay is the producer that it's going to be some kind of sanitised and fashion-shoot Hollywood production. It is still a very edgy and intense film. It's rare that a Hollywood film manages to horrify and offend these days, so I'm very glad the new TCM went for a hard R-rating. The tone is so filthy and depraved that you will definitely need to shower soon afterwards. THAT'S how close you get to the action. Even the character of Thomas 'Leatherface' Hewitt has a lot more to do this time. He's not quite Jason Voorhees but he's still an incredibly mean bad guy you'd NEVER want to mess with or come within 10 miles of. And in case you're wondering, he's played by the same dude who played Butterfinger, the big, dumb blonde guy from Hudson Hawk. Only this time he's not so cuddly. Not since 8mm almost 5 years ago have I seen a film where the bad guys (there's more than one) are nothing but the blackest of all evil. R. Lee Ermey was terrific (as usual) as the disgusting Sheriff and any fans of him should only expect the most badass of performances. Second to Dawn of the Dead (and tying with House of 1000 Corpses) this is one of the best horror movies I have seen in a long time. The Platinum Series DVD is just awesome. The 1.85:1 anamorphic picture is superb and the Dolby 6.1/DTS ES soundtracks are incredible. You'll really think Leatherface is chainsawing his way into YOUR living room. There are also a massive load of interesting extras including a 75-minute documentary, deleted scenes, a documentary on serial killer Ed Gein (who was 'supposedly the inspiration for the original but Tobe Hooper denied these rumors) and screen test footage. The packaging is awesome with a metal plate stuck on the front cover and 'crime scene' photos in a little envelope tucked into back. It completes a great package of a great DVD of a great movie. Buy it!!! Review: Love Jessica Biel - My favorite Jessica Biel movie. R Lee Ermey is always memorable. About this as a remake it’s a great one. It’s up there with the slim list of great remakes. I’d say this is better than the original. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00018D42W | | Actors | Eric Balfour, Erica Leerhsen, Jessica Biel, Jonathan Tucker, Mike Vogel | | Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #21,541 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #629 in Horror (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (7,069) | | Director | Marcus Nispel | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 6834 | | Language | English (DTS ES), English (Dolby Digital 5.1 EX), Unqualified | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | AC-3, Anamorphic, Color, DTS Surround Sound, Dolby, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Andrew Form, Brad Fuller, Michael Bay, Mike Fleiss, Ted Field | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | June 7, 2005 | | Run time | 1 hour and 38 minutes | | Studio | Warner Home Video | | Subtitles: | English, Spanish | ## Images ![The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712dfq3VGTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very bold and intense horror and a great DVD *by S***K on March 30, 2004* While I fully appreciate and respect the tastes of others, let me just say I have no idea why the original is held in such high regard.
