An average movie

How ridiculous will it get? After remaking classics, now they have decided to make a prequel of the remake... I mean, they must be 1000s of struggling young writers with some original and interesting stories who would give anything to make sure their screenplays were produced. Unfortunately, the studios would rather make some quick bucks with a known brand and, as a result, they keep giving us such uninspired flicks. Still, if you forget all this, I have to admit it, the damned thing was actually watchable. Indeed, the first ten minutes, when they introduced Leatherface where not bad at all. But then, they gave us once again some young and sexy people on a road trip and they, of course, ended up being completely slaughtered... How refreshing and original... To make things worse, they also added some lame subplot about the Vietnam war but it didn't work very well. I must say that the second half was pretty nasty and they obviously tried to surf on the popular torture porn trend at the time but it was more disgusting than really scary, in my opinion. Still, the directing was not bad and I have seen worse horror movies but the whole thing was still really pointless and not really entertaining. Anyway, to conclude, obviously, I didn't like the damned thing and it is not worth a look, especially if you are a fan of the original classic.
