Just when you thought the original was disturbing, gross, disgusting, and frightening, now comes the updated version, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” which knows no limits when it comes to gore and intensely terrifying moments. Is it a remake? Not necessarily. However, it is more like a movie that pays tribute to a great classic by offering its own vision of a well-known nightmare of limbs and guts.

While characters and some of the story has changed, the deranged and murderous plot remains the same. An unspeakable turn of events (I will not give away how it all starts, as it is very different from the original) lands a group of teens in a nightmarish maze that throws a mutilated man who wields a giant chainsaw in their path. Not to mention the “crazy” family that turns out to be just as vicious and murderous. For these teens, a safe place is nowhere in their short and painful future.

As I said in the beginning, this is not a remake. Nor is this a sequel. So what is it? Well, I like to think of it as an “updated” version of the original–in fact, I consider it more of a tribute to the classic that redefined the horror genera as we know it. This movie, while much more darker, sinister, and sicker, is not trying to live up to the original, nor is it trying to outdo it. I had to smile, as this was not a step-by-step remake, such as the newer “Psycho” was. There are new elements, characters, and plot twists thrown into the mix. And to be honest… it works.

I must confess, I had an unquestionably hard time trying to watch this movie. There were a bunch of moments that made me want to shut it off, and yet–I continued to watch the debauchery. There is a sick and twisted fascination that this movie exploits from us, knowing that we’re going continue to watch no matter what. The original was choppy and had a very low-budget, so while it was undeniably violent and brutal it wasn’t as hard to take. This new version is in no way a Grade-B movie. It’s extremely realistic in its absolute brutality. This shouldn’t even be considered as a choice for people who have a hard time watching violence, gore and torture. This movie takes it to the limit and is unapologetic.

Even though this was a hard movie to watch, I have to confess that I liked it. It is great to finally see a horror movie that isn’t overly goofy. This is a straight-up and serious slasher movie that does what it’s supposed to do–TERRIFY US. An element sadly forgotten by most of the horror flops that come out now. Maybe they can take a page from this movie and perhaps learn something. The acting is surprisingly good, the script is quite believable and is rarely cheesy or lame, and the film looks fantastic. Not a bad job for director Marcus Nispel.

This 2-Disc special edition (a single disc version is also available for those who aren’t giant fans of the movie) has some tasty extras. As I said, the film looks and sounds great. You even have the choice of watching it in DTS if your little heart desires to do so. Special features include documentaries, deleted scenes, commentary, trailers, TV spots and a whole lot more. The star of the special features is an exclusive documentary on the notorious killer, Ed Gein, who inspired the original film. It’s a really interesting feature and is the main reason to purchase this edition of the movie. The behind-the-scenes documentary (over an hour long) is also worth the money, as well.

“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is an unforgiving bloodbath that sends you to the butcher’s with bloody front-row seats. It’s not better than the original, and it is not trying to be. This film is more of a tribute to an undeniable classic. It’s an entertaining new vision and interpretation of the original. If you’re looking for a straight-up horror movie that isn’t trying to be cutesy or is striving for pop status, then this is the one for you. Just remember one thing… once you open the door, there’s no going back. A disturbing, and yet involving horror film that will stay in your head for days. -Michael Crane

I honestly don’t understand how anyone who has actually SEEN this movie can trash it. I can describe in one word: Incredible. This isn’t “Psycho 1999.” This is a tasteful remake that actually turns out to be just as scary and brutal as the movie it’s based around. As a fan of the original “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and it’s sequels (well, part 2 was good anyways), I’ll admit I had my doubts about this movie. I’m not a fan of remakes in general and it seemed like sort of a waste of time. But believe me when I say this, this movie will blow your mind. Leatherface isn’t the coward he was presented as in a few of the sequels and the family is far-less cartoony. In fact, the whole movie is very loosely based on the first; it only shares a few common factors. The characters are very strong and very well “fleshed” out. This is the key to a good horror movie. When you care about the characters, you are in suspense when their lives are in peril. There are several gripping moments that completely lock you into this movie. Even when you may want to look away, you just can’t. The story revolves around a group of five young adults, strangers to each other, on their way back from Mexico with a giant stash of marijuana, on their way to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert (this, like the original, takes place in 1973). As it would happen, a series of events (which I shouldn’t go into detail about) puts their lives in peril. This movie has everything: suspense, plot-twists, great characters, top-notch gore, good acting. The bond that is made and the unconditional friendship between the characters glues this movie together. I honestly can’t think of a flaw. This movie just grabs you for the whole 100 minutes it stays on screen. I now sit here, after seeing the original dozens of times, and I can honestly tell you: this remake needed to be made. As much as I love the first, and even though I still prefer it, this “up-dating” was sorely needed. And maybe this is a bold statement, but this is, hands down, the best horror movie we have seen so far this millennium. And with plenty of other excellent horrors behind us this year (Freddy Vs. Jason, House of 1000 Corpses, Final Destination 2) I think it’s safe to say that horror is alive (errr…dead) and well, and ready for business again.

First, the movie. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is probably one of the scariest movies ever made. It was unique for its time, and there’s still nothing quite like it today. The plot doesn’t sound like much- 2 women and 3 men make a drive to rural Texas to check out a graveyard that has been ‘defiled’, and to also relax and enjoy themselves. This last part of their vacation plan doesn’t go real smoothly, as they make the mistake of wandering into an area where an insane, backwoods, inbred, cannibalistic sociopathic family live. Things get more and more horrifying from there.

I’ve heard people complain this movie isn’t scary and not gory enough. As far as the gore, it is fairly low-key by today’s standards (though I’m sure my mother wouldn’t want to watch it, and it couldn’t be shown un-cut on regular network TV). There’s not a lot of blood till the end of the movie, but the acting is so good, and the screams of the victims so wrenching, your imagination fills in the rest and it actually is painful to watch. I will agree that the movie is kind of slow to get started- I admit the first time I saw it as a teenager I was getting impatient for some action. However, the last half of the movie more than makes up for it.

But if you think this movie isn’t scary, I seriously doubt you’ve watched alone, at home, at night, with all the lights off. The first time I saw it was in the daytime, and it still made my hair stand on end. When I got the Special Edition DVD I unwisely watched it after midnight with the lights off. I couldn’t sleep until the sun came up. The opening scene of the rotting corpse in the cemetery wired to a headstone alone made my skin crawl. The scene where Pam first discovers Leatherface’s room, with the furniture made of bones and the chickens in bird-cages, gets scarier each time I see it. The last 20 minutes, at the dinner table, has to be one of the most grueling and realistic scenes to sit through ever made. The final few images–well, over 10 years went by between the last time I saw the movie and the time I watched it on DVD a few weeks ago, and I *still* could remember those shots so vividly it was like I saw it yesterday.

The DVD is incredible-the transfer is so crisp that it seems like the movie was filmed last year instead of in the early 70’s. Since I’d only seen it on “pan & scan” VHS, I never really appreciated how beautiful some shots of the rural setting are, and also how well-thought out and carefully put together most of the cinematography is. Breathtaking, actually. Until the commentary pointed it out, I never realized how perfect and effective the long, continuous shot of Pam hesitantly getting up off the porch swing and slowly walking to the screen door is. This movie does not look at all amateurish, even though it was made on an extremely low budget.

The DVD is packed with cool and interesting special features. First, the commentary by Tobe Hooper, Gunnar Hansen aka Leatherface, and director of photography Daniel Pearl is fascinating. There’s lots of subtle but powerful elements in the movie I missed till now-for instance, the lack of almost any score or soundtrack that gives it a documentary feel, making it that much more disturbing. Hardcore fans of this movie know already this was NOT an easy shoot by any standards, but their accounts of how much energy and work it took to get certain things right, not to mention the really tortuous things many of the actors went through…well, if any actor deserves to be paid millions for a movie, this cast certainly earned it. The dinner scene was the most horrendous- they could only do one take, it went on for 20+ hours, and this was in 110 degree heat with no air conditioning. Gunnar Hansen said that by the end, he was so out of it he started to think he wasn’t acting. Kind of gives the tag line “Who will survive and what will be left of them?” a whole new meaning.

There’s also some deleted and alternate scenes, including some “lost footage” never available before. With many of them, you can read the script excerpt of the scene first. There’s a hilarious blooper reel-the quality isn’t that great, but you’ll laugh your butt off. There’s lots of production notes and stills, along with shots of rare publicity material. A couple scenes are broken down shot by shot, with Hooper explaining why he made the directing and editing choices he did. There’s even more, I just don’t have room for it all. The menu is also pretty great. I highly recommend the Special Edition to anyone who is a fan of TCM. You’ll be able to spend hours enjoying it, and they couldn’t have done a better job. My recommendation (for what it’s worth) is to get this one fast, because it would be a shame if it went out of print and so many people missed this wonderful collector’s edition.

Words can’t even describe the sheer horror, intensity, and insanity that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre provides. If you don’t know the story by now, do yourself a favor and watch this extremely necessary horror film. TCM is definately in my Top 5 favorite horror films and nobody can play Leatherface like good old Gunnar Hansen. But Andrew Byrniarsky does come close. The first time I saw this film, I was speechless. I didn’t know whether I enjoyed the film or hated it because I was in shock and awe. People today may say “Oh this movie is terrible because the acting is awful and it’s not even scary” or “The remake is so much better”. I ask these people to look closer at this magnificent film. It is one of the most terrifying, brutal, and in your face movies I have ever seen. It’s just completely ruthless and is not ashamed to get its point across. The remake I thought was excellent but seriously doesn’t even touch the original. It’s a completely different movie. You can’t just watch the original once and then judge it…you have to watch it more than once so you can understand the insanity of the Sawyer family, the intensity of the house, the terror from the kids, and the sound of the saw. You’ll really learn to appreciate it especially in this brand new special edition to the US. The extra features found on these two discs I believe are already accessible in the UK special edition release of this. But in case you don’t know the extra features, here they are (some are new additions):
