The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (DVD 2004)

Story: Description
Directed by well-known commercial and video director Marcus Nispel, and produced by Michael Bay (ARMAGEDDON, PEARL HARBOR), this remake begins in the same place as the original. Five friends are driving through Texas on their way to a concert in Dallas. But when they stop to pick up a hitchhiker, their trip takes a turn for the worse. The friends--Erin (Jessica Biel), Kemper (Eric Balfour), Morgan (Jonathan Tucker), Pepper (Erica Leerhsen), and Andy (Mike Vogel)--have no idea what they're in for when they ask the local sheriff (R. Lee Ermey) for help. It isn't long before the blood begins to pour and the notorious chainsaw of the maniacal, murderous Leatherface starts to roar.
Although considered relatively low budget (9.5 million) by 2003 moviemaking standards, Nispel's remake is worlds away from the no-budget feel of Hooper's original. Where that film left much of the actual gore off camera, Nispel and Bay up the ante by showing every death in all its gruesome detail building to a final act that is relentless and terrifying. Tobe Hooper's enduring original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE appeared like a nightmare in 1974, establishing a whole new genre of horror film and thirty years later it's back.

Comments:
Great Horror, story hits off with a group of friends who wend to mexico to get some dope, they almost hit a girl on the road, they stop and pick her up, girl shoots herself in van.

the scene where she shoots herself was very unique & kinda like the style of '' From Dusk 'Till Dawn '' .

the rest is pretty mutch average horror, a maniac chases them etc.

when they want to phone the sheriff the grandpa of the family ( in a wheelchair ) asks 1 of the chicks to help him up because he fell down from his wheelchair, while she's helping him up, he feels her ass, hilarious :-D

some scenes are great when Thomas accidently fells down & cuts his own leg a bit.

i dunno how many times i've seen this movie, could be in the dozens or so, this is what TRUE horror is about, if you like horror ( classic horror-style & not '' horror '' like '' Scream '' for instance ( witch is hilarious in nature ) ) then definately buy this one.

you should also see the original of the '70's of witch this is a remake off.

It is NOT as cool as this one however, but it gets you a bit more background on the movie/story & all, watch the original late in the evening/night around 3 am or so, this one you can watch around 10/11 pm or so.

Not suitable for younger audience in my opinion though. 18+ and older in my opinion.
