it hard to believe that the man who 30 year ago give u what be probably the best horror movie ever do and the powerful texas chain saw massacre and go through 30 year of movie with mixed result . fortunately and tobe hooper return with a decent movie that finally manage to live up to the enormous fame of his legendary debut . reimagining an obscure 70 movie and hooper set his story in present day hollywood and where a young married couple move to the lusman and an old building . angela bettis and the actress who surprise the world in may and star a nell and who be not happy with his husband choice of move to the lusman . she will find a contrived plot and gory killing a julia and her neighbor and new friend suddenly disappear without a trace . bettis carry the film with grace and and power . this young woman definitely have a bright future in film . while the rest of the cast be average in their performance and hooper direction be the star a he turn the building into another character . the location be awesome and the atmosphere hooper use be very creepy and fill with tension . the movie flow well a a mixture of a whodunit mystery and a gory slasher . the gore be an important factor here and and it be well deliver . probably he be not a great director and but hooper know how to pull up great murder scene from his actor . the flaw of the movie lay in the script and it be fill with enough plot hole to be a problem . fortunately and it creepy atmosphere and the high tension it create almost make up for this big flaw and although it be still noticeable . tobe hooper may be an uneven director who have a very lucky debut with texas chainsaw massacre and but here he give u a very entertaining movie that really make up for the 30 year of average movie he do . a very pleasant surprise . positive .
