Ho-Lee-CRAP!!!
 
Ho-Lee-CRAP!!!

That's all I can say. Ho-Lee-CRAPPPPP!!! Just back from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Oh, Ho-Lee-CRAP! I've seen some pretty rough movies before, but nothing like this. I don't usually freak at movies (ok maybe once, I almost lost it when "Satine" died in Moulin Rouge, but...I'm TEASIN'!). Anyway, like I said I don't normally come unglued at movies, but damn if this show didn't mess with my psyche just a bit. I was expecting gore. I was expecting blood and guts. I was even expecting an evisceration or two. But Ho-Lee-CRAP, I wasn't expecting to see the depths of agony that I witnessed.

I need a bath. And therapy.

I'm also considering life as a vegetarian.

Here's the skinny on the show:
Five college-aged students are in south Texas. Get mixed with some bad folks and before you know it they're up a tree without a paddle (nothing like mixing your metaphors). Terror, pain, agony, shock and death ensues. The folks who are perpetrating all of this nastiness are your run of the mill inbred sideshow freak types. I think each one is the other one's father and uncle.

My review on the movie, you ask?
two thumbs-up and 3 Ho-Lee-CRAPS!

~warning~ UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS FILM BE VIEWED BY ANYONE ON ACID OR ANYONE WITH COLLEGE AGED KIDS WHO LISTEN TO LYNYRD SKYNYRD AND DRIVE THROUGH SOUTH TEXAS IN A 1970's SOMETHING SCOOBY-DOO VAN OR ANYONE WITH AN UNUSUAL AFFINITY FOR CHAINSAWS, KNIVES, MEAT CLEVERS OR HOOKS! ~warning~

After this I'm going to apply for a non-profit organization status.... Please donate to my charity: P.E.T.M.G. "People for the Ethical Treatment of Movie Goers" PayPal gladly accepted.

PS- Note to guys... Not a good "first date movie".
