The original was classic. The remake was a fucking waste of time and money.

There was no horror. It was like a bad episode of Scobby Doo.The Shadow said:
The horrific victim scene was nothing like the first.
The dialog was just bad and sometimes comical (tried to be).
If it wasn't for Jessica Biel in a tank top, the movie woulda never landed in the green.

i havent seen the original, but i saw the remake and the remake was pretty good.
how much of this was a true story? where there some cops that actually died from this guy? were there really nail marks along the wall?

I thought most of it was based on a true story, only reason why it was freaky too me, made me want to puke, then i found out none of it is true at all, and it's still pretty creapy lol.
i thought it was awesome. made me want to puke though, the dark colors and photography ect were really well done, main reason why i liked it so much....

a lot of people think it's based on a true story, or at least based on a real life killers. that's the kind of thing that goes around. i thought something like that, too, but i'm pretty sure it's not based on anything in reality. at least not specifically or directly.
as for these films, i would be inclined to agree with pimpmasterdropout. of course, i haven't seen the remake, but the original is considred nothing less than a classic. and these new movies (anything starring jessica biel...fucking hello??) are usually standard crap. horror movies especially.
maybe it has something good to it, but probably not. no doubt, the production values and 'acting' are sharper in this new one, but that doesn't work to its advantage. i remember watching the opening 15-20 minutes of the original film. you know that grainy quality that some films from the 70s had? there's something raw about it. and the beginning of this movie had some scenes which were just menacing...even though nothing overt was happening...the whole vibe was creepy and bizarre. all of this comes together, partially because of the unrefined look of the film. you won't find anything like it in today's polished hollywood turds. i don't necessarily go for that grainy, crude look and feel, but it works for a film like this, because the overall affect is more unsettling.
as for the acting in the original, i think it was appropriate for some awkward and innocent teenagers. does anyone remember that raving lunatic of a hitchhiker they picked up? i don't think you'll find a character freaky in quite the same way if you watch the remake. once again, the lack of smooth performances is more conducive to the reality of what's happening.

it's based on a true story.. ed gein's story in wisconsin or something...he skinned a victim or two... and they decide to make it a "true story" about a group of teens in texas... uh... i was pissed about that (relieved for the "victims" though)..
anyway.. it's based on the same guy "Psycho" is based on... and any other "true" horror movie...
based on means - take any aspect of it and use it in a movie and it's true...
the remake was awesome, best horror movie in YEARS.
