How's the TCM remake?

I'm a big fan of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and I was wondering if I should bother watching the remake, and if so, WHY??:)

Waddya mean? It was a heck of a lot gorier than the original!

I thought the remake was pretty bad overall. The gore was OK in my opinion, and the sherrif was pretty cool, but aside from that, it wasnt great.

the only gory part (pretty much) was when he sawed his leg and put him on the meat hook. or when the girl shot her face. but the rest of the movie was just completely sick and twisted. whats with the friggin farm animals everywhere and like. human juice?? or something in jars.

I thought it really wasn't bad, for a remake. It doesn't really bring anything new to the table, but I think it's worth at least renting. Most importantly to me, it felt like the filmmakers had a real respect for the original and made their film with that in mind. I'm sure it's hard as hell to remake such a classic film, and I don't think it was entirely successful. That said, give it a watch though. You may be surprised.

***Minor Spoilers for Original and Remake


Ya, and thats alot more than the original...in the original, almost all the gore was implied. The corpse in the beginning was a tad gory...We saw the hitchhiker cut open his hand, a bit of blood...the skull-bashing and meat hooks, though violent and disturbing, were by no means gory....Franklin's death, once again, was violent, however the blood and gore were offscreen....then there was a tiny bit of blood on her finger at the dinner table...and a split-secod when Leatherface cuts his leg. So total, thats a tiny bit of blood and some ripped skin, no biggy.

The remake however...we had hitchhiker blowing her brains out...some guy's leg chopped of with with the chainsaw, then the stump cured with salt....meathook scenes showed alot more blood/gore....that bit at the end with the meat cleaver....Im sure theres more Im forgetting, but you get the point. That's ALOT gorier than the original.

I liked this remake alot more than I think most people did. I thought it was pretty good. You can never beet the original though. But I bought it. And I think its worth the 10 bucks on DVD at Wal-Mart. But if you go to WalMart and you dont have Shaun of the Dead, Id get that instead, lol!
