Texas Chainsaw Massacre (shoot)

This thread is a shoot about my utter disappointment at
this original movie.

**This is an opinionated post remember**

I for the record hope the remake is better.

I Just saw this last week for the first time. This was
fucking horrible! How could that fat fuck chase that girl
around for ever and ever? That scene seemed to last an hour
or maybe ever years. It just never ended. That fat piece of
shit is no where in the shape he would have to be in to
chase her for ever.

ARRRRRGH!!

And then when she seeks refuge in that gas station/store she
got beat with a broom. Not even the handle but the brush
part. :/ WTF? Seriously???

Let's see a show of hands please. How many guys here would
have beat the fuck out of that skinny ass redneck for
attempting to do something so frivolous.

WTF????

I had previously heard that this movie was so scary and blah
blah blah.

Now Playing: Cylob - Disappointment

Me being a HHHHHHHUUUUUGGEEEE fan of horror movies enjoyed
this film you speak of (i started the other Chainsaw
massacre thread about the NEW movie, which is pretty cool),
and i agree somewhat with you as well, I mean horror movies
man... I dont watchem cause they are gonna be really good
movies, mostly cause the ideas, the deaths.. I dunno the
overall feeling of watching a horror movie...

The idea of this movie WAS good. I actually should have
added that. There was a good premise behind it all and if
the script could have been reworked and maybe a different
director..... i dunno

Also when that freak cut that handicapped guy in the van at
the beginning of the movie.... that merits another solid
"WTF"

Like your friends wouldn't kick that guys ass for cutting
your hand, handicapped or not. That really pissed me off.
That was so unrealistic.

I understand that they were trying to exemplify this guys
personality but come the fuck on!

i really liked the original. some freaky shit in there, but
i agree, the chase scene is a bit long...

virginpusher: in the new version of the flim, they meet
someone on the road, but its not the same ... they pick this
person up and things happen differently, trust me...... much
more realistic. This new version of the film was better than
the original by far!

Cool! I will probably check it out then. Good to hear! How
about the chase scene? is that revamped?

and based on my previous comments, do you think i may enjoy
this film a bit more?

virginpusher: well, there is a chase scene or two, but its
not played out at all, and it turns out actually quite cool,
ofcourse with a nice twist and it isnt that long at all, so
its alllllllllll good.

also, yes from what you said I think youd totally like this
film ALOT more than the 1st. It was well done, and its not
some cheesy teen horror flick, its good shit.

lots of brain matter.

the film has possibly lost some of its impact over the years
but that is only because it has been copied to death. some
scenes still disturb me, like the guy nonchantly spearing
the chick on the butcher's hook and the scene where they're
trying to get pa to kill the girl with the hammer. a truly
fucked up film and a classic in the horror genre.

well you have to remember horror has massively evolved since
the original - it doesn't seem like anything today, but back
then it was the cream of the crop.

does anyone know who's directing this remake?

not verry scarry. but therre is one bit that sends chills up
my spine... the bit wherre the guy rruns in the house and
trrips up then gets his head caved in with a hammerr, that's
just sick.

you have to remember it was also very appropriate for the
time, considering it was based loosely on the incident of Ed
Gein. Nowadays, no one remembers him.

the fact is, back then, people knew who Gein was, and the
fact that something like that actually existed within our
world was frightening enough.

but seriously, back in the 70s, a man who wore a mask made
of women's skin scared the shit out of people - especially
the fact that it actually happened.

however, the chainsaw part isn't real - tobe hooper got the
idea when he was in a hardware store, and a crowd came and
he was basically stuck in there, and then his eyes went to a
chainsaw, and he suddenly knew how he could get out of there
REAL quick. In that 15 seconds he basically had the skeleton
for the plot.

exactly - much of it deals with a bit of psychological
terror, the fact that its based on a real story.

More animosity towards this film than I thought. It has
definitely lost some shock value over the years... little or
no gore, it's all left to the imagination. That's what makes
it scary for me... the Leatherface character and the whole
concept bothers me long after the movie is over.

But I also think the movie rocked and had a ''real'' feel...
although the characters were definitely fucking morons. That
was prophetic.

i watched "texas chainsaw massacre 3: leatherface" the other
day, and it was terribly disappointing.. the guy playing
leatherface didn't even vaguely resemble the other actors
who played him in the previous movies.. the only real
similarity was the old rotting grandpa character..
