What is this?
I certainly don't know what this is. It's definitely not the "terrifying" horror movie I was expecting it to be. I had heard so much about "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" that I burst at the opportunity to see it at a friend's house.Too bad it wasn't scary. There's just about zero character development. It's about five loser teenagers who go to some abandoned house in the South and get slaughtered by that notorious Leatherface and his family of cannibals. Sure, the characters talked some in the van; it didn't matter. I didn't feel sorry for any of them when they died. The only "scary" part that got a reaction out of me was when that guy in the wheelchair got killed. I'll admit it did make me jump.Cinematography really makes or breaks a movie. In this case, it breaks it. This film is a contender for the worst photography I've ever seen. Those odd camera angles only made it worse, and the scene at night was unwatchable. I understand that it was made on a shoestring budget, but there's no excuse for this ridiculous camera work.I don't care how many people tell you how scary this movie is. It's not scary. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is in no way the classic it's made out to be. Don't waste your time.
