5 Stars
A worthy remake bringing new levels of brutal meanness to the franchise.
This film is just plain cruel and mean, bloody and shocking. But it does an exquisite job of all that. So if that’s your jam, you’ll love this remake which I consider a most worthy rekindling of the franchise.After a nostalgically familiar opening narration (John Larroquette; The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) briefly recounting the horrors that would transpire, we meet road-trippers Erin (Jessica Biel; The Tall Man, Blade: Trinity, The Sinner), Morgan (Jonathan Tucker; The Ruins, Hostage), Pepper (Erica Leerhsen; Wrong Turn 2, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2), Andy (Mike Vogel; Cloverfield, The Boy) and Kemper (Eric Balfour; Skyline, Backcountry) driving across Texas. Much as in the 1974 original, they pick up a troubled person on the side of the road… and this disturbed young woman sets the brutally uneasy standard for this remake when she swallows a bullet and erupts bloody chunks from the back of her head! She may not have been as psychologically disturbing as 1974’s hitchhiker, but she has set a powerful precedent for this movie.To report the harrowing suicide and turn over the young woman’s dead body from their car, our road-trippers meet the quirky Sheriff Hoyt (R. Lee Ermey; The Rift, The Frighteners, Up from the Depths, The Watch). Hoyt is a maelstrom of backroad yokel awkwardness, crude misogyny, and blunt malevolent brutality. I winced as I watched him handle the girl’s dead body (with Glad Wrap!!!) and got nervous for the protagonists almost every time he spoke. Hoyt will readily elicit uncomfortable giggles in this role that actually reminds me of John Jarratt’s Mick Taylor (Wolf Creek; a likewise just-plain-mean movie), particularly when he shatters a liquor bottle across a guy’s teeth (poor Jonathan Tucker).Following in writer/director Tobe Hooper’s (Lifeforce, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist, The Funhouse) footsteps must be daunting. But director Marcus Nispel (Pathfinder, Friday the 13th, Conan the Barbarian) has quickly proven his worth in terms of pleasing gorehounds. For me, a significant upgrade this remake enjoys over its source material is the old Hewitt house, which is notably more creepy, rundown, remote and time-forgotten than when Marylin Burns approached in the original in the same iconic butt-cam shot as Jessica Biel, who assumes the role of Marylin Burns here.Appearing as disturbing as ever (across TCM films old and new), we meet Leatherface (Andrew Bryniarski; Mother’s Day) with the same abrupt brutality as seen in 1974 as he drags a victim off to be literally butchered. He’s the same hulking menace you’d know from the other movies, but he lacks the overt sexual repression and depravity exhibited so strongly in the other films.Recounting the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and transmuting all the slapstick nonsense of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) through a contemporary torture-porn-ish filter, this remake is just plain mean. Our protagonists end up covered in blood! We’ll find flesh-torn chainsaw dismemberment, hanging meat hook impalement, a cruel chainsaw to the crotch, and other such vicious maladies.This film delights in being gross—like, chunks of gore gross. Leatherface’s workshop is a menagerie of excised human body parts; some preserved, others just laying about to wither in the humid basement… the thought of what it’d smell like horrifies me. Car graveyards, piled up human teeth and collections of severed fingers, an extended demented apparently inbred family (including David Dorfman; The Ring 1-2), and macabre imagery of human butchering will also remind you of such “mean-spirited” film fare as Wrong Turn (2003) and The Hills Have Eyes (2006).In the end, this film is just plain cruel and mean and bloody. But it does an exquisite job of all that. So if that’s your jam, you’ll love this remake which I consider a most worthy rekindling of the franchise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrifying Scary Frightening movie .
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 25, 2018
Well I am an lover of Horror movies I had read and heard about this, I was researching this last night as this remake of the highly controversial 1974 movie directed by Tobe Hopper this movie was banned in seven countries and was also banned in Cinemas, outright due to violence and labelled an original video nasty . Though having not seen it I can’t think this remark would be more violent I would like to say; if you have seen the original this remake is just as scary and does not have a lot of violence in it well a reasonable amount the beginning is violent and the parts inbetween leather face killing Erin Friends The sole survivor , Erin played very well by an Younger Jessica Biel , Kemper her boyfriend and Friends Morgan Andy, and Pepper, They are in their way to Lynyrd Skynyrd concert they had been travelling through Mexico to purchase Marijuana while driving through Texas lowa, the group come across a distraught young women who Spoiller Alert, Tells them she escaped an bad man who we come to know as Leatherface an deranged crazy homicidal maniac who looks like he has an mask on his face which is disfigured goes through the park with an chainsaw. He was picked on has a child and thanks to a crazy Younger women Leather Face’s sister who has kidnapped an baby says he can’t help it did you see his face to an distraught Erin ; we could see a bit well of his face and lips and eyes through that very cold dark leather skin mask he wears anyway it is an very scary movie that will stay with You, the scenes where he is in the park with an chainsaw are too me terrifying his crazy mum and sister as well as possibly aunt and uncle are just as deranged sociopathic cannibals . Definitely worth a watch glad I add it to my Horror DVD Collection .
