The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

A Mini Movie Review by Dave Randal

Plot: A group of friends in Texas are stalked and hunted down by a deformed killer with a chainsaw.

When this movie was announced I'm sure fans of the original were just waiting to tear it apart.  I'm sure they felt how dare they remake such a classic and influential horror movie.  The backlash came from both fans and film critics in a fierce way.  All in all though I find my self defending this movie.

A Mini Movie Review by Dave Randal

Plot: Five friends visiting their grandpa's old house are hunted down and terrorized by a chainsaw wielding killer and his family of grave-robbing cannibals. 

I first watched this movie a couple of years ago and I remember being a bit disappointed by it.   The movie had such a reputation for being violent that I think I just expected a lot more from it in that regard.  I'm not sure what it is, but if I had to guess I would say I have seen too many torture porn movies like Saw and I believe movies like that have kind of desensitized me to older violent horror movies.
