rofl

damn man i made this thread like 5 months ago its still buzzin .... hmmmm well i do kind of like the movie you know because it is from the 70's and its neat to see how theeffects were compared then to now but the dinner sceen completely lost me i was like WTF ????

damn strait

the original tcm sucked. I can make a better horror movie. The new one was okay. And by the way High Priest Wise, there sort of is a nude scene w/ the girl from 7th heaven. Its just a wet t-shirt, but its pretty good. By the way, does she have implants?

first off your a fucking dumbass the original is an awsome film and the remake doesnt compare also who the fuck cares if she had implants or not i just care if the actings good

agreed yet again. but TCM stomped fucking ass so this thread shouldnt even exist

damn skippy

here here

any movie that gets me screaming " run bitch, run !!! " at my tv screen has to get my props ! :p

The original TCM was simply a hick with down syndrome chasing after really bad actors with a chainsaw. It was better than the sequels yet to come, but the remake made a better image of leatherface and made the TCM story itself a lot better. The original TCM was really cheap unentertaining and had a horrible cast. Especially the guy in the wheelchair.

I have to disagree with you there, sorry.....

For the time TCM original was made it was a true genre defining film wheter you disagree or not....

And Jim Siedow was not a horrible cast member at all...

Yeah totally disagree. I love this movie so much. And also it made way for a lot more horror movies. And if a hick was chasing you with a chainsaw wouldnt you be scared. I sure as hell would...

definetly an awsome movie. I do think it gets credit for some stuff that it shouldnt (last house on the left gets over shadowed by this movie imo)

TCM was good, at least the first one was. Except for the fact that the original was kinda cheesy. I must say I did like seeing the guy in the wheel chair get killed, I missed that in the new one.

With both TCM, each has both it's ups-and-downs. The original was directed by Tobe Hooper, a genius of his time. The house was much scarier with the addition of the furniture made out of human bones. However, the editing was terrible. Also the movie just stops. She is in the back of the truck, and the film simply cuts to the credits. The family was much more enjoyable in this one, and it made sense for the sequel. In the new version, the film quality itself was much better obviously up to date film equipment. However, there was no furniture of bones. The family was simply created with no recognition of the brother in the opening. The action and the characters were much more enjoyable, with the absence of the boy in the wheel-chair. The biggest problem with the new version was the fact that they had Leatherface takes off his mask revealing a deformed face.

In the end, both are good and bad. I personally enjoyed the new version much more, but still appreciate the original for what it was for the time it was made.

I rented it a couple of years ago, really exited to see it. I heard people had fainted and that it was the most desturbing movie with the hookscene and so on. But ofcourse they had cut away thet scene along with some other "too" desturbing scenes. Anyway, I'd really like to see the uncut version. Stupid cencur.

they made a censored version. If you rent it today youd probably never even be able to find the censored version not that youd want to

I love the original its the best i also like number 4 too

TCM is one of the subgenre's of Horror..Slasher Films.
One doesn't have to like this type of film to be a fan of Horror.

Honestly its just not one of my favorite Horror movies since i perfer subtly tension building and suspence in my horror or Outright Fantastical horror.

I would agree that TCM is one of the most significant Slasher films of all time Up there with Friday the 13th and Halloween and would never deny its historical significance.

But if you don't like slasher films it certainly doesn't mean your not a fan of the horror genre.

Sally and, even moreso in my opinion, Franklin were memorable characters. After the first time I saw this movie, I was on my way back home and I saw a man in a wheelchair on the side of the road, and I thought to myself "Hey! It's Franklin!" And to this day, that character is still one of the reasons we love to watch TCM. I think the remake was lacking because they didn't have a character quite like him.

Obviously this is my favorite horror film. I think one thing that makes this film great is how low budget and bad the editing is. Also, the unknown actors make the whole thing believable. I couldn't care less if Mary Camden was slaughtered by Leatherface, but Sally was a different story entirely.

Movies like this are my favorite to watch - 70's low budget thrillers like TCM, The Hills Have Eyes, The Last House on the Left, Halloween... They're classics.

It's KICKASS one of my fave movies

OKAY NOOB LET ME EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU YOU MORON TCM IS NOT A SLASHER FILM IT IS A HORROR FILM SLASHER FILMS ARE LIKE NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET WITH TONS OF KILLS AND GALLONS OF BLOOD TCM I DONT CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS HARDLY HAS ANY BLOOD AT ALL AND HALLOWEEN IS NOT A SLASHER MOVIE EITHER YOU STUPID ASS NOOB

Slasher film
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The slasher film is a sub-genre of the horror film, also referred to as a splatter film. Typically, a masked, psychotic person stalks and graphically kills teenagers who are away from adult supervision.

The origin of the form can be seen in a sequence in Mario Bava's Reazione a catena (1971, known by a dozen titles in English, including Carnage and Twitch of the Death Nerve) and Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). However, the two prototypical examples of the genre were John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) and Sean Cunningham's Friday the 13th (1980), both of which spawned numerous sequels and even more imitators. Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) also generated an enduring series. The simple plots, minimal special effects and potent combination of sex and violence made it an easy choice for low-budget filmmaking in the 1980s.

Carol J. Clover, in her book Men, Women and Chain Saws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film, identified what she called the Final Girl trope, the heroic young woman who ultimately survives and defeats the Killer (at least until the sequel). The Final Girl almost invariably has an androgynous name (e.g. Teddy, Billie, Georgie, Sydney) and does not partake of the sex and drugs the other teenagers do. Often, she has shared history with the Killer.

The slasher genre resurfaced into the mainstream in the 1990s, being extensively parodied in Wes Craven's Scream trilogy and Keenen Ivory Wayans' Scary Movie series, but with also many "straight" imitators.

fuck you no one cares

tut tut, be nice
