About 2 weeks ago, I saw the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I was scared to see it because it's based on real events. We see a family of degenerates cutting out a bunch of people WITH A CHAINSAW. Gore scenes follow each other, especially when we understand the guy cuts people's skins to make a face with them.

At the end of the movie, I was disgusted in several respects, the fact that it is a true story, the fact that people turned it into a horror movie to make money out of it and most of all, that they added loads of gratuitous effects, which was rather irrespective with the victims. I wanted to check how true the story was.

Actually, they should have said that the story was based on a real event. Indeed, there was a serial killer in the United States who mutilated his victims to make a second skin with but he never killed so many people and in a such horrible way. I don't want to give further information because it's quite shocking and I'm quite ill-at-ease about the idea of seeing this kind of horrors on my blog. So, I let you do your own little research on the Internet!

So, nothing is true in that movie. It's a shit movie. And, furthermore, Jessica Biel is the star. And the cute guy dies in the beginning anyway.
