Page 1 of Chainsaw Massacre Remake - Good or bad?

Just saw the TCM Remake and I gotta say i was pretty impressed! Ok, not as a remake because the original was pretty untouchable but this film did have some serious scares and a fairly believeable heroine,she looked scared s***less! Ok, some dumb moments but hey,isnt there always! Overall, a good film, way better than the recent batch of so called horrors( Cabin Fever, Jeepers Creepers 2 etc). And very good twist ending too -

It did make more jump on more than one occaision, was it really necessary for the main girl to fall tits first into a pool of water? probably... definately a good re-visualisation, no-one got up or said a word in the cinema i was in until about 45 seconds after the credits had started to roll, must be a record in this day and age....

Went to see it yesterday (and Kill Bill, absolutely fantastic) and have to admit I was pleasantly surprised! Watched the original the night before and think it stands up pretty well in comparison.

Fairly scary, definitely more graphic than the original, I`d recommend it! And a refreshing lack of self-referential `jokes` and so on, `bout bloody time!

I agree abouut no self referential nods, quite refreshing! And i thought same bout the lass falling into the water - NICE!

I thought the 2003 remake was good, yeah silly in bits but some good scares :o I liked the chainsaw to the leg scene not that im sick or ought :)
