Alternatively, audiences who prefer a faster-paced, more brutal movie with horror delivered through a variety of storytelling methods will favor the remake.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game that’s coming our way from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham finally has an official release date! The game – which takes place before the events of director Tobe Hooper’s 1974 classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (watch it HERE) – is set to be released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One on August 18th. For audiences who prefer a slow-burn, highly cinematic horror movie that delivers terror through mood rather than on-screen violence, the 1974 movie will be the obvious preference. ![]() Whether the change from the late Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre to Nispel's remake is good or bad is really a matter of personal opinion. The 1974 movie takes a lot of the more gruesome deaths and violence off-screen, so they’re only implied to the audience, while the 2003 film leaves very little to the imagination in terms of bodily harm for the victims. The 2003 remake makes much more use of the titular chainsaw, delivering four of the movie’s eight deaths via Leatherface's signature weapon, while the original only includes one actual chainsaw kill.

It nearly doubled the kill count of Hooper's original movie, and depicted eight total deaths. In contrast, the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre amped up the violence, blood, and gore. Hooper was able to build such a palpable sense of terror throughout the movie, and used violence and gore sparingly, only when it would produce the greatest effect. The ultimate examples of this pivot would come slightly later with James Wan and Leigh Whannell’s Saw in 2004 and Eli Roth’s Hostel in 2005. Despite gaining a reputation for being extremely violent and gruesome, Tobe Hooper’s 1974 classic is actually relatively bloodless, with a kill count of only five. In 2003, when Marcus Nispel set out to direct the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, the 21st century was ushering in a resurgence of the exploitation film and slasher sub-genre with classics like Scream, Final Destination, and American Psycho being released in the late 1990s and early 2000s. When it was made, it was the first to incorporate many of what are now considered slasher movie tropes. Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre gained a reputation as one of the best and most influential horror movies of all time, being credited with originating many of the elements of the slasher genre as it exists today. ![]()
