Benjamin W. @Code70 4d A surprisingly solid and effective remake of the horror classic. Honestly, why do so many people hate this? No, it’s not nearly as influential to the genre as the original, and it doesn’t boast the brilliant Tobe Hooper direction, and as effective underlying subtext. But for a remake 30 years later, I feel like it did a good job. It’s a lot gorier and more violent than the original, which admittedly takes the peculiar nature of the original away, but adds more for gore hounds to feast on, and it’s well-made with genuinely effective thrills, and probably the most terrifying Leatherface we’ve ever gotten. I also liked most of the cast, and thought they did a pretty good job for what they were given. It’s not as iconic or groundbreaking as the original, and can’t live up to it overall, but for a modern remake of this story, I think they mostly pulled it off, and it’s quite effective in its own way.

See more Joseph G @LicenseToChivalry007 Feb 28 Perhaps the strongest entry in the series. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), while not as frightening as the 1974 classic, adopts a more brutal, visceral approach. Bolstered by Jessica Biel’s strong performance as final girl Erin Hardesty, R. Lee Ermey’s chilling portrayal of the crooked Sheriff Hoyt, and Marcus Nispel’s atmospheric direction, the film successfully modernizes the original story. This version presents Leatherface as a more monstrous and violent figure while still offering glimpses of humanity. The film also allows its final girl to show moments of vulnerability and imperfection before ultimately emerging as the heroine. It’s not perfect and still doesn’t match Hooper’s 1974 masterpiece, but it remains one of the strongest entries in the franchise. See more Read all reviews
