In terms of films that get under your skin, there aren’t many like Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It’s weird, wholly original, incredibly unique, and the type of movie you watch once or twice in a lifetime. Unless you’re Patrick Bateman, I suppose.
Clearly, he put a lot of effort into crafting something audiences had never seen before, and he did it without using buckets of blood. The violence in Texas Chain Saw is disturbing, but Hooper forces your imagination to do the heavy lifting. By contrast, 2003’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre takes the same concept and, well, simplifies it, turning a psychological tale into more of a routine thriller.
Also, in this scene, Biel behaves like a woman who has seen many scary movies. I find it hilarious how her character is cool-headed enough to close and lock the door behind her while Andy immediately grabs a weapon to defend himself. In reality, both kids would likely run for their lives and be too hyped up on adrenaline to care about the other.
I recall seeing Chainsaw 2003 in theaters with my brother, sister, and mom – perfect family night viewing! We all generally enjoyed it, as did the packed house, who screamed, gasped, and laughed at all the right spots. I doubt anyone thought much about the film’s events after they left the theater, but at least they got their money’s worth.
