Texas ChainSaw Massacre, some help
 

Hi,

I am quite new to many horror films and have so far only watched The Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream Series of films. I recently went to see the remake of the Orginal TCM,which I enjoyed a lot. However I have been told that their are other TCM movies and that I should watch these as they are much better.

My questions are:

How many TCM films are their and in what order were they released?

and

Is the 2003 TCM better that the Original? and your views on the film.

Thanks

Dev

I think there was just 3

Then a re-release of TCM original a while back, might have just been for DVD possibly

Then this latest installment of the remake 2003

I peronally enjoyed the 1st and the 2nd one the most but I like to watch them all when time permits.

thanks for the info mud

Personally, I liked the original and the 3rd Leatherface, part 2 was good but I thought some of it was a little over the top. The character in part 2 called choptop,played by Bill Mosley, puts on an excellent performance. You may want to check that one out 2. I havent seen the next genration but I heard it was mediaocre at best. There are a lot of good chainsaw films, one that comes to mind is a classic called Motel Hell, its a little cheesy but its a good watch if youre new to horror.


Also you need to check out the slasher films like Halloween and Friday the 13th, they are a must see in the horror genre.

MOTEL HELL!! Sorry for the interlude....thanks Creeper. That takes me back.

I have only seen Halloween: Ressurection and Halloween 3. I have ordred an un-offical box set of Halloween though which I shall be watching this weekend and giving my thoughts. Friday the 13th I`m not familiar with though.

On topic, thanks Mudsliptones and the rest of you

The first three are good....stay FAR away from the 4th one. I don't know how good/bad the remake is yet.

I heard that all the sequels were poor.

yeah i wasn't a big fan of a the sequels. but the first and the remake were good i thought.

You know who Jason is don't you?. Well he is the Killer in The friday the 13th series,except for parts 1&5

the new one
 

I saw the newer one, and i wasn't expecting to see a better film than the original...but i did. The lastest TCM was the best, no doubt about it.

you all are mental there have been 5 tcm movies.
1) texas chainsaw massacre (original)
2)texas chainsaw masscre 2
3) leatherface texas chainsaw massacre 3
4) texas chainsaw massacre 4 new generation
5) texas chainsaw massacre remake

they did re-release the origianl which is the best in the series in the 80's once newline got the rights

I watched the older ones and i didnt enjoy them very much. Coz i screwed myself and went and saw the remake with my crew. Big mistake..coz it scared the shit out of me!My girl Ashley and I were bothered by it. Ashley freaked when i handed her the popcorn..which making a huge mess over her and i. Then we went to a haunted house and of cores..Leatherface was there. I actually wasnt scared of the place. Coz Leatherface got in my face and i just looked at him and said get out of my face. but, anyways, the remake is good..and some of the olders are good. Anways..thats my say.
