• The Texas Chainsaw Massacre [2003]

  S. Thanopoulos 10 April 2005

  

  How gratifying to see this remake not only doing justice to the energy and anarchy of the fly-on-the-wall original, but being done in period, with cinematography and colour palette evoking the 1970s throughout. Slicked up enough for the multiplex crowd but without losing the original's relentless feeling of dread and inevitability, the film features a first rate cast and expert horror machinery. It fiddles around with the characters making up the film's monster family (with the exception of the iconic Leatherface, of course) and downplays the cannabalism, and it also gives a completely different spin on the fateful scene where our heroes pick up that hitchhiker, but all this works to give the remake it's own identity, whilst being true to Tobe Hooper's groundbreaking feature. After 30 years, the buzz is most definitely back!!

Noughties re-make of Tobe Hooper's 1974 classsic horror film, based on the Wisconsin murderer Ed Gein. Whilst on a road-trip through Texas, a group of teenagers pick up a hitchhiker on her way to score some dope in Mexico. The kids decide to go with her but on their way through a small town in Travis County they come across another girl covered in blood and seemingly traumatised by some horrific event. The teenagers soon find themselves inadvertently involved with a family of murderous cannibals and chased by Leatherface, a chainsaw wielding madman.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. A group of friends passing through are stalked and hunted down by a deformed killer with a chainsaw in order to sustain his poor family who can only afford to eat what they kill.
