	DVDFILE.COM: Texas Chainsaw Massacre review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Iironically, the new Texas Chainsaw may actually be a far more pleasurable experience for longtime fans than a scary one, because having survived the original, we already know what is coming.
		Photographed by original Texas Chainsaw DP Daniel Pearl, and with a visual style designed to resemble "shades of puke," this superb 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is just the right shade of dried blood.
		The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an above-average "reimagining" that has moments of genuine tension, but also is a bit too choppy and glossy to compete with the non-stop intensity and originality of the original.

		Some people seem to think Texas Chainsaw is extremely gory when there is hardly any gore at all, and some people believe that TCM is based on a true story, which it's not.
		A series of grave robings in Texas have caused many families to be concerned about the remains of their buried relatives.
		Texas Chainsaw Massacre was shot in 16mm and blown up to 35 for it's theatrical run so naturally the film has never really looked good and when you combine that with the films age you can't expect much for a good home video presentation.

	The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
		But the beauty of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is that it was shot on sixteen-millimeter film, in a documentary style, on a tiny budget with no name actors, and with very little blood.
		Chainsaws are dangerous especially if in the hands of a maniacal madman.
		The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the scariest movies ever made; and then it was remade, and remade again, and the third times wasn't exactly the charm as director Marcus Nispel's attempts to recreate the 1974 horror classic.

	The Texas Chainsaw Massacre . Austin Chronicle . 11-02-98
		It's been 24 years since The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was released, and in that time it's become somewhat of a cultural and cinematic landmark.
		Chainsaw has been compared to Hitchcock's Psycho in the sense that people looking back on it seem to recall these ghastly scenes of bloodshed that in reality just aren't there.
		I like the film as this wacky, crazy, bizarre, over-the-top dark comedy, but it missed its mark in doing what the audience expected it to do, which was to scare the hell out of them and give them a little more of what they had experienced in the first film.

		With that said, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is a film without much of a point, and rightfully so.
		"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" had an interesting approach to this method: the violence was implied, sometimes vaguely shown, and its after-affect celebrated in its full and splendid glory.
		But if you're able to use your brain, then you should be able to recognize "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" for the important work of art that it really is.

		Texas DJ Stretch (Caroline Williams) hears an extravagant murder committed during a phone-in to her show, and teams up with Lefty (Dennis Hopper) to track down those responsible - a certain family of cannibals...
		If you watched The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and wondered where all the gore was, why, here it is in the sequel.
		Basically, Texas 2 is to the original what, say, Halloween 2 is to Halloween: perfectly watchable, but nothing special.

		In the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Sally's brother Franklin is obsessed with his knife, and at one point in the film gives it to Sally.
		On August 18th, 1973, in Texas, the youths Erin (Jessica Biel), her boy-friend Kemper (Eric Balfour), their friends Andy (Mike Vogel) and Morgan (Jonathan Tucker) and the hitchhiker Pepper (Erica Leerhsen) are returning from a vacation in Mexico to a concert of the Lynnard Skynnard.
		The original "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is a classic, and as I have already written in other reviews, I do not see any reason to release remakes of movies, mainly classics.

		The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre remains seared into the memories of many as a chilling exercise in horror cinema.
		The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a great film to observe, and part of this comes from Bay's manic-editing influence.

	Horrordvds.com - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 DVD Review
		They attack the two men in their car and during this whole ordeal Stretch is listening on the phone, hearing the sounds of chainsaws and the screams of the men.
		I loved the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie, but the sequel was not enjoyable for me. It almost seems to me that Tobe Hooper couldn't decide whether to make a parody of the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre or to make a legit sequel.
		This is unfortunate because on the Elite laserdisc and the Anchor Bay VHS release of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 there are a number of deleted scenes from the film that are included as supplements.

	Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
		"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was a seminal classic that forever changed horror films.
		Based on the true life story of serial killer Ed Gein (also the basis for Hitchcock's "Psycho"), its near documentary style filmmaking made the horror a gritty reality that was inescapable for the viewer.
		TCM completists and many horror fans probably will buy (or have bought) this disc.

	The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Platinum Edition (2003)
		In many ways, Massacre reminds me of flicks like The Silence of the Lambs and Seven in that it forces a certain mood on the viewer that makes it consistently murky tone.
		The Texas Chainsaw Massacre appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Massacre didn’t present a tremendously ambitious soundfield, but the audio seemed to accentuate the visuals well.

		In desperate need of a solution to the dead girl in the car, the quintet stumbles upon a dilapidated house in a rural Texas community inhabited by Thomas Hewitt (Andrew Bryniarski) and his strange extended family.
		As Erin in TCM, Biel emerges as a strong lead and it's refreshing to see a horror movie heroine who never twists her ankle in a pivotal chase scene, doesn't scream unnecessarily and knows how to hotwire anything on wheels.
		Half storytelling, half mood, music intensive and richly atmospheric, TCM has great visual appeal, although some of it is undercut by some of producer Michael Bay's trademark bullet path shots.

	The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
		"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" could only have been made effectively in the 1970s, as so many of the films sequels would later prove.
		Very much in the spirit of Wes Craven's early film "Last House on the Left," "Texas Chainsaw" exploits the fear we all have of our fellow man, the dilemma not knowing whom we can really trust.
		A masterpiece of horror, "Texas" is one of a number of films that influenced "The Blair Witch Project," not to mention a million other, lower-quality copycats.

		The 2003 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is less a remake of the 1974 cult classic than it is a re-interpretation.
		And, despite keeping the setting in 1973, the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre eliminates some of the cheesier aspects of the original (dialogue about astrology and the infamous "dinner scene") and adds a few things of its own.
		In 1973, Tobe Hooper and his cast and crew went out in the Texas heat and filmed a low-budget thriller that has long been regarded by fans as one of the great horror staples.

		The film has as much claim to truth as any other, in that the events depicted did happen to the extent that they were staged for the camera.
		Then, when the chainsaw wielding Leatherface finally makes an appearance, we're plunged into a kind of inverted fairy tale world where conventional distinctions - good/evil, acceptable/unacceptable, human/animal cease to apply.
		If you think Texas Chainsaw is a disturbing film you ain't seen nothing yet...

		First, the packaging is nice, the case unfolding into the shape of a chainsaw blade, and accompanied by fl-and-white "evidence" photographs in a sealed envelope.
		Tobe Hooper's original 1974 "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is one of greatest splatter flicks of all time, a landmark in brutal, uncompromising cinema.
		Which means a quick stop for Texas BBQ and some gas is fraught with more than a little anxiety, and a little becomes a lot when the Kids meet up with a pretty, distraught young hitchhiker (Lauren German), who gives a whole new meaning to "concealed weapon".

		The Travis County, Texas authorities, for example, point out that only a handful of murders actually happen outside of their metro city, Austin, and author/historian Tim Harden says his daily queries are tripling now that the myth is being perpetuated again just before the Oct. 17 release of the remake.
		He confessed to two murders of women about the age of his overbearing mother, and he is suspected of killing his brother in a fire, but the remaining body parts found at his house -- of an estimated 15 people -- were dug up from a cemetery.

		TCM is very loosely based on the life of Ed Gein, who also inspired both Psycho (N.Bates) and Silence of the Lambs (Buffalo Bill).
		This movie, in it's day truly impacted viewers, not only was it the first time that most had witnessed this kind of movie violence, but the grainy almost home-movie feel of it brought the viewer even closer to the movie..
		Like The Exorcist The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is not really scary as in jumping out of your seat and screaming, but is eerie and just plain creepy.

	Ed Gein - Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The True Story
		Despite being heavily touted as "inspired by a true story," both Tobe Hooper's original 1974 film and the 2003 Marcus Nispel remake are only lightly based on the real-life murderer Ed Gein, who is suspected to have taken several victims between 1954 and 1957.
		The element of the chainsaw that was added for the film's story once again emphasizes the loose connection of the film to Gein.
		The Events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history.

		In that moment, I thought The Texas Chainsaw Massacre might actually capture the spirit of the 1974 Tobe Hooper horror classic that cost two cents (actually $150,000) and grossed more than $100 million.
		Just nonstop tension generated by being at the mercy of a family of inbred cretins in some Texas backwater.
		Chainsaw is produced by Michael Bay (Bad Boys I and II), which explains its soullessness.
