February 9, 2009R. Lee is a champ as always. I could watch Andy fall on a hook and watch Jessica Biel all day.

November 2, 2009Why did I see this movie? Why did anyone see this movie? When Texas Chainsaw Massacre was originally made it was brilliant, scary, and original for its time. When it was RE-MADE it was nothing but yet another teenage-slasher movie that spawned this vicious trend of horrible horro...( read more)

December 18, 2008ATTENTION IGNORANT KIDS

October 30, 2007vvv honey, its not real, sure the house was there its called a set. the orginal film was filmed before the date the massacre supposedly happened. its based on a real killer, but the massacre didnt happen. physco and silence of the lambs were based on the same killer

May 2, 2007I don't know how people can say that the original was scarier than this one. This one actually shows the action happening, it doesn't cut away at the best parts. This movie was brutal and scary as hell. This is the ONLY MOVIE THAT HAS EVER ACTUALLY SCARED ME! I have never been that scared in my life from a movie. This was the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre that I saw and ever since then I have been obsessed with the TCM movies. Check out my blog on www.myspace.com/irene420 under "me starring in texas chainsaw massacre" if you want to see a funny animation i made of my head on the chainsaw guy's body. lol

February 1, 2007Satisfying but inferior to the original which really had that tense and grimy feel.Too much of this had that MTV screenwriting 101 aura.

November 15, 2006I prefer the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre because its alot more scary and the original one felt more real then the newer one, but i still liked this one.

October 26, 2006its BASED ON TRUE EVENTS!!
Ed Gein inspired The Texas Chainsaw Massacre! Ed Gein is what u call Leatherface, he is the one who murdered all those people in wisconson and like in the movie TTCM he skinned people and wore the flesh wanting to be someone else!
So a little part of TTCM is true! and thts wot makes it so scary! -
September 23, 2006"Based on true events."
No. Very very very, stupid claim. Almost as stupid as claiming The Blair Witch Project was true.
The character of Leatherface is based mostly on Ed Gein who lived up in Wisconson. Wisconson is no where near Texas.
Oh the glories of overhyped movies.
