I did not see the original. Originals? I don't know how many in this "series" exist. But this one is predictable, boring, stale, and therefore not scary. The plot is telegraphed and the story is formulaic and uninteresting. Overall the acting is plastic, though I don't blame the actors. There was nothing they could really do to save this snore-fest.

Uninspired camera tricks, "not-so" special effects and jarring loud sounds can't polish a turd of a story.

It is an insult to movie-goers that those in charge of making this movie thought anyone would be happy with this waste of time. A third through the movie I was longing to see the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre in all of it's low-tech and lo-fi glory.

Everyone involved with the making of this movie should feel embarrassment.
