The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) 8/10

Starring : Jessica Biel, Jonathan Tucker, Erica Leerhsen, Mike Vogel, Eric Balfour
Director : Marcus Nispel
Running Time : 98 mins

A group of teenagers on their way back from Mexico meet the sole survivor of a terrible massacre, who then kills herself. The kids subsequently find themselves running for their lives when they are chased by a strange man wearing human skin on his face.

Probably one of the better remakes of recent years, I actually found this to be a refreshing homage rather than a cheap attempt to make money. The acting doesn’t have to be good to keep the viewer interested, but I still think the cast did a sterling job, and it's just a shame that no-one has given Nispel a chance to direct anything original.
