My thoughts on the TCM series:

TCM 74- One of thr greatest films of the horror genre, without this we probably would have no halloween, friday the 13th, nightmare on elm street, or any other slasher films. The atmosphere is tense and creepy, and the grittiness adds to the feel of the movie, one of the few perfect horror films. 10/10

TCM 2- I like this movie for 1 reason, chop top and his lines. Who doesn't love stuff like "lick my plate you dog dick?" priceless. 7/10

Leatherface TCM 3- My favorite of the sequels, I like the new family, it is interesting to see a matriarch at the head of the family, and tex is way cooler than aragorn. Add in the sweet custom chainsaw and this gets an 8/10

TCM the next generation- WTF? not only do we get a whiny rocky horror picture show leatherface, but we have to deal with the subplot of the secret society controlling the family. This film makes me want to puke. 0/10

TCM remake- This was a decent film, though it is not nearly as good as the original, I feel it doesn't get as much credit as it shoild from fans of the series. I didn't like how they gave LF a skin disease, but it had sheriff hoyt, who is right up there with chop top in terms of funny lines. It gets a 7/10

and thus concludes my thoughts on the TCM series, i cant wait for the new one in October.:D

Well said. I agree with this almost 100% although I'd probably give the remake an 8 or an 8.5 but everything else pretty much mirrors my opinion.

Original = masterpiece
TCM2 = Decent sequel. Kinda lame ending.
TCM3 = Awesome sequel. It's almost all one long chase scene with some new family members thrown in.
TNG = Pure shit. That secret society bullshit was the most ridiculous shit I ever saw. "We're responsible for every evil thing." Pssht. Gimme a fuckin break. This movie sucked.
Remake = Good, solid modern day horror film, but pale in comparison to the original.

The entire series of TCM movies have been really, really good...cept the Next Generation...

The first one is a classic..will always be a classic...kudos to Tobe Hooper for making such a fantastic movie...

2nd...was ok, a bit cheesy but acceptable...

3rd...is actually better than the 2nd, with leatherface coming to the fore, and it actually added a new dimension to the fam...

4th aka NG...plain sucked, anyone who saw it should get their heads checked...

5th aka the remake...was good, on par with the original, and I loved to see some real lovely camera shots like, zooming out of the hole in the brains of the dead gurl who shoots herself, Leatherface hanging a gurl from the ceiling, the skinned face, and of course Jessica Biel running around with her boobs jumping all over the place...:D

Waiting expectantly to see TCM:Beginning...hopefully it will be a worthy addition to the series...

The Next Generation is well shot, well OTT acted (particularly the two leads, in their second film together), and with a palatable amount of post modern humour.

If someone had to guide viewers along "how" to watch this film, someone might suggest to approach it as a slicker re-telling of the original - perhaps a little like Evil Dead 2 and Night of the Living Dead (Savini).

But one would never ask if the degrading gender-bending appearance of Mr Leatherface in this one is what really provokes the outrage in sexually uncertain teenage boys...

;)

I liked mathew mcCanihea in it. as well as renea zellweger, I thought well umm just like the other ones. thee all equal in my book.

Sounds like you need a new book then.

Might I suggest....
