MANIAC.

Excellent remake. Lacks the scuzzy look of the origional and comes across as somewhat 'cleaner' than lustigs grimy origional this is still a nasty piece of work and definately made by fans of the origional. (Theres at least one big tribute to maniac in switchblade romance) It also has an excellent score thats basically what a sleazy 80's slasher flick would have. Also great to see elija wood breaking away from Frodo baggins far more successfully than with green street. Still had this been made in the 80's i'm sure the italians would have billed it as The hobbit 2

Texas chainsaw 3d.

A poor movie but not as bad as some have made out. Its probably on par with jeff burrs part 3 and the remake and its certainly better than part 4. Still like part 2 and the beginning more though. Lets face it though non of them can touch the origional.
This one tries, incorporating footage from the origional and blending in to new footage to open the movie almost immediately after the first film. The film then jumps ahead a few years. I think its present day but theres no caption to say how long has passed. This is the major problem with the 3D film, its very sloppy and poorly constructed. That said, when it hits home video sit and watch it with incredibly lowered expectations and you might get some stupid fun out of the film.
