Just saw the Texas Chanisaw massacre re-make and i must say i was really impressed. It was really annoying to hear the know-it-alls who had declared long before the movie came out about the way it could never be a pimple on the ass of the original and how much it was going to suck…blah,blah…(which was unfair since the filmmakers never set this one up as a ‘better’version so to speak)this one was excellent and would have been much better if it had stood on its’ own and not had Tobe Hooper’s classic casting one hell of a shadow over it; I was especially suprised by the scares which were many and intense and i was even more suprised at how gory the film was-not in your face gore, but very gory nonetheless and shocking (cant put any spoilers here-good boy that i am) anyway go watch it and give it a chance. (but dont read Roger Ebert’s review before you do! You won’t be in the mood…)
On a somewhat related note, i was so taken by Jessica Biel before leatherface came in to spoil the fun. When she was just walking around looking worried in those tight jeans and revealing top…my God, i cant remember the last time i saw a woman look so desirable.
