...I love it when this happens, you stumble upon such a true gem of a horror movie..and lets face it, these days thats a real rarity in terms of Hollywood's horror film industry.

I certainly was not expecting anything at all when I chose to press play and watch this little horror film today. Many times, if not most times, I come to imdb and check out what's known about a film prior to me actually watching it. I didn't do that today, but rather went into it only knowing what I'd seen a few months ago in having watched what I assume was the original short horror film of the same name. I found the horror short film to be entertaining, and my only hope was that it'd not been ruined by someone in the industry taking over and adding a ton of filler in order for it's run time to be sufficient enough to reach full length film requirements.

And just let me say, again, just how damn thrilled I am with this horror film. It truly has it ALL! Great storyline, great, thoroughly filled out characters(who you grow to care for, root for, and scream for when they meet their brutal deaths), excellent special effects, including tons of blood and gore to go around! I really could go on and on about all of the excellent qualities of this little gem of a horror flick, but I won't!

I will simply say the minute you come across an opportunity to see this movie, do so! I would really love to see this film in a theater..its one where the audience would only enhance the experience as each viewers tension, excitement, and enjoyment would ebb and flow throughout.. Love it and am even shocked at myself giving this movie the rare 9/10(and Good Lord before the haters coming squirming out of every nook&cranny I do not know a soul involved with this movie, or any other movie ever made).. I am just a die hard horror movie fan that absolutely loves when she stumbles upon a true diamond in the rough!

This is actually one of the very few horror films of late that does not disappoint(and that in and of itself is a feat).

I am not a die hard fan of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" franchise, I am however a die hard horror fan, and am also one who is willing to go into watching a horror film with no bias. Giving a film a full shot at impressing me, disappointing me, or falling somewhere in between. Sadly, for the most part these days I come away disappointed and let down time after time.

This film did not disappoint me, and more so I felt as though it's storyline actually helped, rather than hurt in terms of the overall "TCM" story as a whole. I'm not usually one who likes when an already well established horror character is given a whole new, fleshed out backstory, but in this case I found myself not minding at all, and actually rather enjoying the whole new fleshed out character of Leatherface..I think they did a great job of filling in the how's and why's he came to be the f*cked up villain that we know and love.

And for what its worth, No, I am in no way affiliated with this movie or this franchise. Every person who dares to write a review, or comment, about one of the modern horror movies that the "majority" of people dislike..well, its immediately declared that the person was somehow "paid" for their positive review.. Ridiculous!

I've learned the hard way as to just how defeating it is to get your hopes up about modern day horror films(and that goes for b-movies, as well as for the big budget Hollywood films).. The let down is bad, and its exactly why I've learned to curb my enthusiasm in regards to upcoming horror films.

This low budget indie was quite enjoyable and I found much entertainment in watching it last night. I, unlike so many others, am actually a fan of the supernatural horror sub-genre that deals with a lot of the paranormal themes including ouija boards, seances, and even hauntings/possessions.. This indie had all of that and more.

Was it a thrill ride? No, but it was entertaining and yes, I will actually watch it again at some point in the future (IMO, always a tell-tale sign of a good horror film is if it holds up in repeated viewings).
