      In this remake of the horror classic, a group of young travelers -- including Erin (Jessica Biel), Andy (Mike Vogel) and Morgan (Jonathan Tucker) -- comes across an isolated rural home while driving through Texas. Unfortunately for them, the decrepit house is the residence of a family of deranged backwoods killers, most notably a hulking masked brute known as Leatherface (Andrew Bryniarski), who begins to hunt the stranded youths down. Will any of the friends survive the nightmarish ordeal?

      • May 30, 2022
        The earliest in the long line of Texas Chainsaw reboots/requels/remakes/retreads, this movie is perfectly fine, but honestly kind of bland. The original TCM has a grit and weight to it that makes it impossible to ignore, it almost feels like a snuff film. This one feels very polished and Hollywood, and it doesn't really go anywhere. Even the gore is kind of bland, without much massacre to this Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Seeing Leatherface wreak havoc is fun, and the R. Lee Erney does and amazing job as the unhinged sheriff, but it's mostly a boring road to an anticlimactic ending. But I can't even call it bad, it's just supremely mediocre. If you're a Chainsaw die hard, you could do a lot worse, but it's easily skippable.

        This remake of the original frightfest respectfully borrows enough elements of the true story to be a solid rendition, but Jessica Biel's polished appearance waters down the horror. Really, when is Leatherface not scary? Worth a watch, but its not particularly scary.

        Boring and tedious easily describe one of the poorer horror remakes in the 21st Century. With the lead characters doing nothing but swearing and screaming for the entire film, what's the point of trying to make the audience sympathize with them? Aside from R. Lee Ermey as the corrupted sheriff, the opening with the crime scene is the only aspect of the this feature that's worth watching.

        Gritty and terrifying, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an impressive remake that equals the original. When a hitchhiker commits suicide in the van of a group of college kids traveling through Texas, they end up stranded and are hunted by a psychopathic family intent on mayhem. Starring Jessica Biel, R. Lee Ermey, and Eric Balfour, the film has a solid cast. Additionally, the chases are incredibly suspenseful and intense. However, the violence is overly graphic and the visual style is a bit grimy. Though the gratuity gets a little out of hand, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre still delivers a captivating and chilling horror film.
