"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."

Movie Review
Grade: A-
Remakes are becoming tiresome, but when it comes to the horror genre, most movies are remakes of the ones that have come before them. So from that perspective, at least this movie is a remake of a classic. Read the full movie review

What a load of Spunk!, by Smokey
February 15, 2007
Im sitting here in shock to hear so many of you lamebrains saying this movie is good. First off I understand that it is BASED on a true story, however they have modified it from the original story a shitload. First off im not particualrily a horror movie fan but as I did enjoy the original texas chainsaw massacre I thought hey probably the new one will be better, WRONG! Not only was it a pile of shit it was a steaming pile of shit. What I want to understand from all you horror buffs out there dont you get sick of the same scenario spewed out again and again and again in about 95% of horror movies released. I mean it always starts off with between 3 - 6 clueless teenagers always having a great time the first 15 mins of the movie. And you think to yourself how could this possibly be a horror movie they're in such high spirits blah blah blah.... but same old shit happens. A car breaks down or petrol runs out they inevitably get lost in some outback shithole town where everyone is inbred and weird, and supprisingly in this movie alarm bells didnt ring in their heads when they went to use a phone far out in the middle of nowhere (due to their car breaking down, supprise supprise) where a derranged looking fuck up who lived in the house answers the door in a weel chair and no legs. With those naked dolls swinging in the distant background in one of the rooms in his house which ive forgot the name of but I do know it starts with 'M'. Anyway you should know kindly make your excuses and get the fuck out of there if thats what you see. Im telling you the only difference between this movie and wax house is one has a chainsaw in it and the other has wax involved. Thats it! But I guess if your 14 years old and get a hardon when you see all this gore when really what you should be doing at 14 is jacking off in all the spare time you have then this is the one for you! Anyway make of this what you will but all I gotta say if you like this movie then I predict you have an IQ under 90... Enjoy!
