If I had to rate it, I'd say 3/4. Hey... it was better than Outhouse of the Dead, that is a given.

I finally rented this. I hadn't read any reviews on it and did not see it in the theatre, gladly I had a rent one get one free coupon at BBV...I was sorely disappointed.
Extremely bad. Too many open ended questions in the end (and I ain't talkin' about the sequel kind). The baby subplot with the trailer park house was not needed at all (if they had did the gas station scene (which was a spin off of the gas station scene in the original). If the hitchhiker girl had been someone that the family picked up on the road without a family it would have made more sense to me. The two officers being killed in the end was also not needed.
The ending was so anti-climatic. If this had been an exact remake of the original I think it might have been a little better. We don't even get any "good" shots of Leatherface chasing Jessica Biel (nothing can compare to the nighttime chase in the original.)
The actors did not help this movie, the screenplay did not help this movie, the direction was non-existent.
And to top it all off --- Leatherface was not put to good use!!!! We even get an awful "family" moment that does not compare to the original family dinner!
The only redeeming qualities were the cinematography (the orignial photographer did this film), and the hook hanging of one of the guys. Loved the salt (lyme?) on the nub of the guys leg. R. Lee Eremy was also doing a hammed down version of his Full Metal Jacket role.
Would not recommend this film to anyone.
