WARNING: SPOILERS

My reaction exactly! :confused:

Bill Mosley as Choptop is one of the greatest horror roles of all time! Sure, it's silly, but damn is it entertaining! I don't see how anyone could not enjoy the scene where they put the girls head over the tub and let Grandpa have at her with a hammer. Choptop itching his head with the hanger, eating the skin & then burning the tip with a lighter is hilarious! I owned TCM2 before I owned the original.

same here ...
and i hear that there is the possibility of a decent release of this coming out on DVD in the future... so far there is only a bare bones version out there.

My words exactly...

True...But, I still own all of them...Kinda feel like I have to, or something...

Leatherface (the movie) pretty much sucked, too

I hated the first one

TCM 1974--- 4/10 :D Seriously, I think this was boaring. The remake had more than running, screaming, and bad acting.

TCM 2--- 8.4/10 I really thought this one was the best of the 4.

TCM 3--- 7/10 Pretty good. I liked it "The saw is Family"

TCM 4--- ?/10... 6/10 I told you, I saw it a LONG time ago and I liked it when I was 8, but maybe I'll think it sucks.

TCM REMAKE--- 9.7/10 I think this is WAY better than the origional.

TCM: The Beginning COMING SOON--- I'm going to see this in theaters and I'll think It'll be good. The Sheriff is back!

Just out of curiosity, how old are you? I've been trying to do an age study vs. classical horror movies for a thesis. Realize that this is for my own personal use, and will not be presented to anyone.

Anyways...4/10 for the original TCM, eh? One of what is considered highly to be in the top 5-10 movies that shaped an entire genre, and you rank it that low? If you don't mind, could you please expand?

I might be a compatriot in a way, because I consider the original Jaws to be highly over-rated (a view that is not popular around here;) ). Seriously, I'd love to know why.

I'm sure it was just because him and (EVERYONE else) hates it... (that was a joke, read his other posts) hah.

I didn't think it was that great, but I sure as hell have a very high respect for it, and loved the last few minutes of it.
9/10

Joke? What is this "joke" that you speak of?! Are you insulting my country, or just Matthew Mcconaughey?!!:p

The angry rejection of Texas Chain Saw Massacre: The Next Generation is I think fashionable rather than through considering artistic merit.

Perhaps it is something to do with the familiar plotting - though this did not affect Evil Dead 2, possibly because it was made only a few years after the original.

Genre fans would treat now A-list actors Matthew McConaughey and Rene Zellwegger with disdain.

But why allow Scream and its sequels their success when another post-modern horror of around the same time offers decent acting, nastiness and gore but without such grating self-referential celebrations?

I think the contempt towards this film would be better aimed at the likes of Freddy and Michael sequels, since it is at least an honest adult re-telling by the original author and not a bland cash-in aimed at kids giving them just what they expect.

I'm 15, don't you read the profiles?
