MADHOUND

I had high hopes this movie happening in between Alien and Aliens - two of my all time favourites. This is nothing like those classic Alien movies.

It's supercharged nowaday stuff every imaginable thing into one movie and lose all credibility before the movie is halfway through. I guess it's impossible to make movies like the originals anymore.

Three points

• Stop doing Alien movies
• Have Ridley Scott and Walter Hill go through mental state examinations
• For a films like this, you should pay the audience if they can endure the whole time through.

I would give negative score but it's not possible.

I understand the heat or desire to play with leatherface. To have "fun" with the character. Before this movie was made there have been a few dozens of filmmakers wanting to do so. But if you remember the subject material for the original, it's pretty far from "fun" and that's the whole idea - why 1974 Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a classic.

But with the subject material it would have been easy to make something new that adds to that material, that stands the test of time and continues to intrigue horror movies lovers wolrdwide for years on end. The other - more obvious option is to make just another slasher film adding sex and shown violence (which the original did not have since it relied largely on viewers own imagination) to charm the majorities. That brings the dough in.

While I'm certain there are many others who are in heat to get to just shallowly play around with Leatherface, I would like to believe there is someone out there who will give this character and the storyline the treatment it deserves.

Skip this one unless you really are after pointless violence and mainstream "horror" and do yourself a favour and watch the original. Again and again !

I believed every word said - out loud or otherwise - in this movie.

For me, films like this come around about once or twice in a decade. I am already a bit anxious of how many times I will watch this during the rest of my life-time. I think the great personal experience was both the film being so well made and where I am at this precise moment in time. Great art touches an individual deeply and I shall not try to put this fine piece of great art into words. I would be a bit amazed of a person who does not get anything out of this one. Recommended for every living Soul. I would not recommend checking out the trailers (although I admit I have not watched them myself) but give this piece of captured time a chance and under 2 hours of your (and preferably with someone you love) life - you will spot the feeling of this one right on.

Amazing. Amen.
