For some reason it's incredibly maligned, but this remake of The Texas Chain
Saw Massacre is really no better or worse than the 2003 remake, but it's hard
not to dig Renée Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey in early-career roles here.
How can you not love watching Z as she climbs a roof and clings to a TV aerial
to escape from a saw-wielding maniac? Or zapped with a cattle prod? And
McConaughey as one of the bad guys -- playing perhaps his looniest character
ever -- is a real riot. Plenty of gore (and it's passably realistic),gratiuity,
and murderous babes give The Next Generation enough horror street cred to just
make it passable -- and much better than its reputation.
Aka The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
