Five friends go on a roadtrip to Mexico to buy some drugs. There is the attractive Erin(Jessica Biel) who is probably the most mature one from her group, her boyfriend and driver Kemper(Eric Balfour), Erin's brother Morgan(Jonathan Tucker) who is a bit of a pain in the ass and enjoys getting stoned a lot and last but not least, couple Pepper(Erica Leerhsen) and Andy(Mike Voge) who can't seem to keep their hands off of each other. When they get into a gruesome incident with a hitchhiker, they are forced with a horrible encounter with Leatherface, the terrifying killer who wears masks made out of human skin and butchers everybody who comes close to him in the most horrible way possible. I was highly anticipating this movie, being a big fan of the original one. This remake was pretty good, definitely the best horror of the year so far. It gave me a few jumps and the acting was great. The one thing that I did not like was that so many things were different compared to the original. Too many characters were added, people were getting killed way to fast and some of the most important and best parts from the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie were missing here. However, that still didn't keep it from being a gory massacre and a decent horror. Sure, it wasn't as good as the original but what remake ever is? I would give The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 8/10.
