On August 20th 1973, police were dispatched to the remote farmhouse of Thomas Hewitt, a former head-skinner at a local slaughterhouse in Travis County, Texas. What they found within the confines of his cryptic residence was the butchered remains of 33 victims, a chilling discovery that shocked and horrified a nation in what many still call the most gruesome mass murder case of all time. Brandishing a chainsaw and wearing the grotesque flesh masks of his victims, the killer became forever known as "Leatherface" when sensational headlines were splashed across newspapers throughout the state of Texas: "House of Horrors Stuns Nation - Massacre in Texas." Police and FBI eventually gunned down a man wearing a leathery mask and declared they had their killer and abruptly closed the case. However, in the years that followed, many close to the grisly murder case would come forward to level accusations that police had botched the investigation and knowingly killed the wrong man. Now, for the first time, the only known survivor of the killing spree has broken the silence and come forward to tell the real story of what happened on that deserted rural Texas highway when a group of five young kids inadvertently found themselves besieged by a chainsaw wielding madman who would leave a trail of blood and terror that would forever be known as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I am a massive fan of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre film so in my opinion this really shouldnt have been made. The original is without a doubt one of the best horror films of all time so I didnt see the point in remaking it.
However, I was intriqued to see what they would do with an updated version. It is clear this film was made for film goers or today as it has far more gore in it than the original but far less scary moments. Dont get me wrong its horrible and quite violent in parts but I was never actually freaked out scared by it.
If you look at this as a stand alone horror film this is very good and if you are into your horror films like me then this is definately a worthy addition to your DVD collection.
Greatest horror movie to date

This film without doubt has to be my favourite of all time. The original is without doubt a classic but the remake is slightly better. The storyline & acting is all perfect & the scenario is just perfect. A must have for all horror fans
This hardly deserves one star in my opinion!

After reading the reviews of this film I brought it on a wim thinking it would be a good scary movie. Unfortunately I was extremely let down! This film is neither scary or gory and I really don't see how anybody could watch it more than once. If you were considering buying this before watching it then my advice is to watch it first and then decide. There are many great horror movies out there but in my opinion, this is NOT one of them!
