This movie is pretty much a sequel and picks up after the events to the original movie, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). I know it's supposed to be a 3D movie, but I watched it non-3D. To me 3D adds/takes very little away from a movie. There were a couple jumpy scenes via loud noise. Overall, the movie was ok to watch, better than some other scary movies, but not as good as the original (1974) or the remake (2003).
Rating = 3 / 5 Stars!
When the movie first started I thought it was going to be a pretty good movie. I thought the opening sequence was amazing. The 3D conversion of the original film was really cool. After that the introduction with the main cast was corny but pretty much every horror movie is, because for some reason producers don't want to spend money on actors that can carry on a scene without running and screaming. When the horror begins, it starts to get better. I really liked how the film was unpredictable and you didn't know what was gonna happen next. Overall this film gets a 6/10 because it pays good homage to the original 1974 film, while adding different, original elements to the genre. Just don't take this movie seriously, because you will be disappointed. Go into it thinking it's a continuation/spoof of the original film, because this movie has some pretty funny moments. The sad thing is, is that I don't know if the makers of this film were intending it to be funny.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sher for the comment. You are right about the movie having some funny moments and I believe the makers intended those scenes to be funny. It's kind of like how the Jason movies are "funny" now. Which is bad if you truly want to make a scary movie. There shouldn't be many funny scenes. Your rating of 6/10 sounds pretty much spot on! ;)
