Not completely an original story, but worth watching

Indie retelling of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, January 8, 2009 By Andrew E. Rose "Andy Rose" (Farmersville, TX) - See all my reviews

This film was not groundbreaking in originality. It, like many other films of its type, is simply a reimagining of the story of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

However, this film is worth watching. The story of "BROTHER" with his metal teeth and hunger for flesh is horrifying. His brothers are fiercely devoted to family and dedicated to keeping Brother safe and well fed. The actor portraying Jones, Parrish Randall, does an excellent job - giving his body and sanity to the character. Jimmy Hazzard perfectly complements him as his insane brother.

The gore f/x are great - covered in blood and dripping with gore. The cinematography is beautiful and the lighting is perfect.

If you enjoyed Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you must see this film.

Stereotyped 'Texas chainsaw massacre" rip off.

Warning: Spoilers
This movie actually had some production value but bad acting and obvious characters in an obvious rip off really ruin this one.

It seems they had some budget and thought it was wise to go with something that people know.

It does not bring anything new to the genre and every scene feels like you seen it a 100 times before.

It had some fun moments in it but not nearly enough to make it in to a good movie.

Also the effects varied a lot with some done quite well but others just fake looking.

Same goes for the camera and lighting adding more of a messy feel to the film.

All this put together they made a bad choice wasting their money on this...

Watchable but I would not recommend it.

1 for the B-pile...

Again.
