The Texas chainsaw massacre review
For as long as their has been classic horror films, there have been remakes of them. From the nightmare on elm street to dawn of the dead. Remakes are pretty common fair in the horror genre. Yet no remake really seems to hit the mark. Maybe because they just can't live up to the legacy of the original. 2003's 'the Texas chainsaw massacre' is a modern re telling of the 1974 film of the same name. Having not seen the original however, I watched with an open mind and with no real expectations. The story kicks off with your typical group of teen...ish people on a road trip to Dallas to see a concert. And to no ones surprise, things go pear shaped in a hurry. Instead of taking us off this warn out horror path with surprising plot twists and interesting characters, we are put right in the middle of gruesome and down right uncomfortable torture scenes that are as close to snuff as one would ever want to get. though the film does a decent job of creating some genuinely tense moments, it's not too long before the film plays the gore card again. All in all, the Texas chainsaw massacre is an average horror film, With predictable story and over the top gore but to its credit, manages some tense moments to boot. If you were a fan of the original or If you are a fan of slasher flicks then this film should satisfy. however, even the heartiest of horror fans may cringe watching this bloodbath.
Score: 3 out of 5
