now don't get me wrong i respect both the original and the remake for their own induvidual values.
in the original i like the way that the film was shot, almost like it was a documentary, and i like the fact that all the horror in itself wasn't completly based on Leatherface, but instead on their actions, what i didn't like however was the fact that with a name like the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" i basically was left demanding for more action with the chainsaw, and i also didn't like the fact that he wore woman dresses, now im not one of those moronic so called TCM fans that became one after the remake.
now i like the remake, because first of all even though the movie takes place in the same time period as the original, it way more different story, i like it because the movie is faster, it's more violent, it keeps on hitting then running you with gruesome scenes, the action is non-stop, and the killer isn't a retarded fuck who has no idea what he is doing, he is a massive phychopath who knows exactly what he's doing and why he is doing it, he is driven by rage and frustration, but once again the things i didn't like about the film are things like leatherface being given a name (Thomas Hewitt) i didn't like fucking Sherrif Hoyt given more air time then Leatherface and i especially did not like the fact that Leatherface removes his mask, we didn't need to see that, it was supposed to be an enigma, im sorry that i wasted your time with this reply, but i think this needed to be said.
