I saw no need to remake a horror classic like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The original is truly horrifying and I couldn't imagine a need to change it. But the previews of this new version made me think it was worth checking out. Big mistake. The original showed how truly horrific this experience was for the victims. This remake seemed more like an adventure for bored teens. The stupid dialog, especially the Sheriff's was just hysterical. There was nothing scary about him at all. He was ludicrous and funny. So much for horror. Why today's directors want to turn the horror genre into Comedy Central fodder is just a mystery. We go to horror movies to be terrorized, not to laugh. The characters in this movie didn't merit sympathy, they were just annoying know-it-alls that were all expendable.
You want to see a true horror movie, stick to the original. You want to see a pile of garbage put out for no other reason than to profit off of a classic, then this new version is for you.
Shameless money grab. Nothing more.
