I quite enjoyed Texas Chainsaw 3D.

Don't worry...i am the only one here who feels this way.
Ha-ha, I've had a few people tell me they enjoyed Texas Chainsaw 3D. I couldn't get into it at all, I'm afraid. It wasn't trashy enough to enjoy in a Friday the 13th way, nor was it classy / gritty enough in that 70s way. Too middle of the road, which filled me with antipathy.

I will say this, despite the drab visuals, the filmmakers knew how to set up a tripod so the dreaded shakycam was avoided. John Frizzell's score harkened back to the original film without becoming derivative. And I'm sure the catering department did a decent job too.

Oh, yeah, I did find "drive through the gate" bit to be rather funny. Didn't see that coming.
