Well no shit. That's what the idea behind The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is...a bunch of kids getting chased around by a guy with a chainsaw.

i know its the prequel to the 2003 film but if its not connected to the original films then they shouldnt use the texas chainsaw name.....even if it is a marketing tool, a familiar story that the public are already used to

i want to see this. i think the story will be shit but the gore will be sweet so im all for it.

really hated the remake, can't see as how this one could be any better.

generally I'm more leniant toward a prequel than a remake, so I'll reserve judgement for now. But I ain't seeing this one in the theater.

Old R. Early ripped this movie to shreds in an interview.....he even said he refused to do it unless they let him rewrite his own lines.
I'm not holding out much hope.

I'm planning on seeing it the Sunday after it comes out. Don't really know what to expect... the 2003 version wasn't that great IMO, and this looks only slightly better. It'll probably be an average Hollywood flick, similiar to the 2003 installation. Though, some scenes look pretty pleasing.

I have to agree, I only just read about this film this morning, at first I was anoyed, but then again at least it is somewhat a fresh aproach...

That's an odd plan. Why the sunday after it comes out?

Well, I've read two reviews of this on other horror movie sites, and both are basically saying the same thing : that the prequel is miles above the sequel and that it is a very dark and insanely brutal affair. One even said something like : if this is the R version, I can't imagine what was left out in the NC 17.

Guess my interest for this has just risen a bit...

im sure when it comes out on dvd theyll release some unrated edition of it...
