The new remake of Tobe Hooper's cult classic just came out on DVD. Being an avid fan of horror, I bought it. Out of just about every movie I've seen, I have never ever witnessed such a graphic movie. Jessica Biel does a good job, cliched since she runs around with a wet top, but good. Anyways, Leatherface (the killer) tortures a man by chopping off his leg with his chainsaw, and then sticking him on a meat hook and grinding salt into his severed leg. Oh, is that too graphic...no. The "kids" then pick up a sad/disturbed hitchhiker and she is bloody/bruised all over. She states that they are all dead (meaning her friends) and has a tantrum since they are driving back to the Hewitts (Leatherface's family) and then says "He is a bad bad man", then we see her take out a pistol from her crimson red legs and say "You are all gonna die" and they scream wildly as she sticks the gun in her mouth and...BOOM! Blood is splattered everywhere as the kids still scream and the camera pans back...back...back through the girl's mouth out the hole in her head, and through the bloody smashed window. Wow.....
I wouldn't say this is an adults movie only. However it's not good for kids. I think if a teenager can handle these kind of movies and can be mature about things in the movie. Than he/she should be fine.
I thought this movie was great.I saw it when I was 8, and then again a few months ago. I love this movie. Definantly a suspence movie, but fine for mature 10 year olds:D
Not the worst horror film a kid could be watching...
The only concern parents should have is language and drug use. Lots of very bad language and they smoke pot that they bought in Mexico in the first 10 minutes or so. If your older almost a teen can handle blood and gore than let them watch it. Just not in the night, in a camper, in the middle of south dakota. This movie has only one disturbing suicide in the beginning, but it really doesn't have anything new that a horror watcher hasn't seen
Movie Review
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a horror movie that is targeted toward teens to young adults. If you like movies that keep you at the edge of your seat then this is the movie for you. It is defiantly a suspenseful movie. I give it 4 stars.
The 2nd one was better, in my opinion. But this remake was definitely good, Jessica Biel did superb in this! She is an amazing actress, one of my faves. Very entertaining, not nearly as scary and gory as the second one, but all the chasing in this is scary enough! Hoyt is hilarious in both, the tea lady is awesome! 3.5/5 from me, fun to watch if you're a hardcore horror fan.
The texas chainsaw massacre is disturbing, scary, and truly a classic
While TCM is overrated they got one thing right: it's disturbing, scary, and truly a classic. Sex/Nudity (On): None; Violence/Scariness (Pause): Most of the violence is off-screen but still intense. A guy gets his head smashed in (you hear a crunch), A girl is hung on a meat hook (the camera focuses on her head), A guy in a wheelchair gets cut up by a chain saw (this act if off-screen); Profanity (On): Just two uses of the b word; Social behavior (Off) there are killers; Commercialism (On) Not really a lot of advertisement; Substance use (On) No smoking or drinking
This movie is so incredibly disgusting! I hated it so much I can't even describe it! -1000 stars! What a horrible, terrible movie! Such a waste of time and money! E* Don't ever see this movie EVER! This movie should have been rated NC-17 for all the violence! Don't watch it!!!!!
