Eh ? Inspired by a true story ?

Looks good. Doubtful.. very doubtful it'll be better than the original. never are. and i'll be watching it just to b|tch.

True story though ?

oh oh oh, i saw his face i saw his face. oh oh oh.

Looks aight. But Leatherface looks crap.

Yup, a canibal family cut up some kids in Texas. Some dude wrote about it and another made a film, and now a remake.

I ain't seen the original, but it bored my mum.

Like The Exorcist, she couldn't see what all the fuss was about...

Sick. Never knew..

The original is nothing to get excited about these days. Its very slow moving and quite boring. Compared to some of the modern horror fikms (despite being directed and acted supremly better) it doesn't really hold a candle on the horror front.

Still can't beat the original Halloween.

Yep, Ed Gein. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, and Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs were all based on him.
