I hate to admit it, but I like the Texas Chainsaw remake

Like Cronenberg's "The Fly", I think the makers of this movie took the source material and made it their own.

1. I believe the current director wrote the original script but

I've seen neither. I did see a scene from the original being filmed in Round Rock Texas in, what was it, 1973?

2. That's a BIG thumbs up for it!!!

Really, now I may rent it... don't know... I BOUGHT 28 Days Later and STILL haven't watched it!!

Cronenberg, there's an interesting guy!!!

What do you think of "Hellboy?" I'm kinda looking forward to it?

How's things with you, my friend???

3. It creeped me out in a "Seven"ish kind of way

It's a slasher film, so some "rules" have to be obeyed, but the remake decided to break a few of the modern "rules" (eg. the Beutiful People must survive to the end.).

I also really like "Wrong Turn", if you are in for a night of 70's horror.

4. I walked out

I don't find intolerable cruelty thrilling, just repulsive. And I DO like the first one.

5. couple of things

The first one really wasn't all that bloody. Second, with a name like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", what the hell did you expect?

6. the FIRST one was named the same

and it wasn't nearly as relentlessly cruel as the second. I'm a big horror/thriller fan but that second one was just sick.
