Lee Ermey: Actually I think it’s the best one. Q: Are you satisfied with the prequel compared to the other? I will NEVER do another horror movie… watch me like two years later in another one (laughs). But it was a great learning experience, and I strengthened my muscles a lot by doing this movie.īaird: No. It’s difficult because you really have to go to a dark deep place, and you don’t really want to go there ever again.

It’s like an action movie on top of having to be emotional, because you have to be running and screaming, crying for mercy all the time. Q: How hard was filming? Was it pretty taxing?ĭiora Baird: The filming was hard man I so did not know what doing a horror movie would be like. My boyfriend (Matt Bomer) was dying and I was there I didn’t have to do much. I knew the 2003 one was good, so we had a good precedence.īrewster: I was really lucky in that, I totally put myself into the character I totally put myself in the situation she was in. I heard about the sequel, and I really wanted to be a part of it, and there was no script, but I read for it and got the role. I saw the 2003 movie, and I really liked it.

And so we're missing the horror of it.Alex Quevedo, Staff Writer | October 5, 2006 Just as Eric got used to things in Vietnam, audiences are getting used to horror porn and its increasingly formulaic arrangements. Such appalling acts are a function of both environment and necessity. This has to do with Eric's determination that the group must 'stay the course.' As Eric says, the Vietnam War has shown him that 'it's amazing the things you can get used to.' The argument might be made that characters who choose to 'stay the course' let themselves in for the atrocities they encounter (and, in a couple of cases, commit). The gore does make a point, after a fashion. Hoyt hangs the boys up in the barn and beats them, Leatherface hacks up limbs and torsos in the basement, and Mama attends to the cooking, trying to sort out which tongue is which. The shadows are dark, the floor and walls slick, the devices rudimentary and filthy. Its many torture scenes are pretty much what you expect from mainstreamed horror porn. Not so the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, which repeats its source material, including the basic plot: Good-looking kids on the road stumble into a Terrible Place and suffer bloody, screaming deaths. Reviled for their grisly excess, those films also make relevant cultural and political critiques, modeled after the analyses offered by some '70s proto-slasher movies. You know a trend has crested and collapsed by the time Michael Bay gets hold of it (he's a producer here).
