amongst the classic chainsaw wield psychotic of cinema and none be more famous and dangerous than leatherface ( jason who . ) . how can i call myself a horror fan ( which and for the record and i do not ) have see only bit and piece of texas chainsaw massacre and one of the most demented movie of all time . i have want to see tcm for a very long time and and the saw that split the camel back be the film original trailer and which i recently saw a part of the boogeyman dvd collection . i be in awe of the 2 minute of film present in say trailer and rush to the video store to rent this horror masterpiece . unfortunately and i be in a hurry and accidentally pick up this box instead . really and i have hear of sequel kill a franchise and but this one gut the franchise and then neatly prepare it for grandpa . first off and the film print use in filming be top notch . normally and this would be a good thing and but part of what make the original tcm so freaky and give it that unique charm be that the film be shoot on grainy 16mm and with fairly bad color and which leave it look like a first hand home video account of the horror . this look more like a high budget and low spirit remake of the original than a true sequel . which be a fitting description since that exactly what it be . every attempt at a shock scene in this movie be steal from the original or one of the many flick inspire by tcm . the acting be amazingly unextraordinary and with the exception be the sole survivor from a group that be abduct and kill a few day in before this story ( fittingly enough and she get in one set of dialogue before she be separate and kill ) and leatherface little sister and who be genuinely unsettle from first encounter ( she hold tea party with skull and a doll make from what look like a mummified infant ) and but be also barely give any screen time . the story of leatherface and his family tell in the original movie be pretty horrify but perhaps not realize to it full ability because of budget and technological limitation and so it would seem that remake it with a good budget and technology would work and but and besides the factor of the film not look right with a good film stock and high budget and the high budget meant there be more financial influence and which more simply mean it be cut to ribbon by the censor ( what the point of supposedly brutal kill scene if there barely any gore in the film at all . ) and and have it original end ( see alternate version ) change to the awful and unfitting happy end it now have . a conflict between leatherface and his father that would have be very interesting be hint at and but never fully attempt ( although leatherface do burn his father hand in the oven so he could get a favored tape back ) . the only part of this film i truly enjoy be a darkly humorous scene in which leatherface be play with an electronic child toy and and becomes frustrate when it show him a picture of a clown and ask him what it be and and keep tell him his answer of food be wrong . the rest take all the originality and edginess and and dementia of the original and chuck it for an incredibly boring feature . the reason this tragedy of a film happen to such a great franchise be obvious . nobody from the original be involve at all in this while tobe hooper have no involvement in this and and new line be even too cheap or stupid ( or both ) to get gunnar hansen and the only true leatherface ( r. a. mihaillof and the new guy and doesn not have near a threaten a pose and or the cool one arm chainsaw spin move ) . make in 1990 and over 15 year after tcm and this be just another case of poor and unnecessary sequel hop for a quick buck and destroy the good name of the original film . next time i will make sure to pick up the right box .
