Director Tobe Hooper's original 1974 cult classic has become the benchmark in unadulterated terror and introduced the world to one of horror's most evil incarnations - Ol' Leatherface. Now prepared to be chilled to the bone and skinned alive all over again with this superb remake which remains faithful to the bleak spirit of the original masterpiece. Even the original Director of Photography returns to re-create the suffocating atmosphere of dread and fear that surrounds the remote Texan farmhouse of Thomas Hewitt, the former head-skinner at the Travis Country slaughterhouse. What the police discovered here, shocked and horrified a nation, the butchered, faceless remains of 33 victims. This is the story of the last 5.

On August 18th, 1973, in Texas, the youths Erin (Jessica Biel), her boy-friend Kemper (Eric Balfour), their friends Andy (Mike Vogel) and Morgan (Jonathan Tucker) and the hitchhiker Pepper (Erica Leerhsen) are returning from a vacation in Mexico to a concert of the Lynnard Skynnard. Kemper is driving his van, when they see a disturbed young woman dangerously wandering on the road. They decide to help her, and the woman commits suicide inside the vehicle. They decide to look for a telephone to call the Sheriff, and they end in the house of Thomas Hewitt (Andrew Bryniarski), where their lives are threatened by the sick Leatherface and his deranged family. I was quite reluctant to see this remake. The original "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is a classic, and as I have already written in other reviews, I do not see any reason to release remakes of movies, mainly classics. However, and although unnecessary, this remake is very good. The cast, leaded by the delicious Jessica Biel, have good and convincing performances. The cinematography is great, being very nasty in the property of Leatherface. In the end, I liked this version and I even dare to recommend it. I believe the fans, like me, of the original "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" will not be disappointed. My vote is seven.
