I watched the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and totally enjoyed the whole atmosphere that Tobe managed to achieve. I also watched the 2004 (non Hooper) remake and enjoyed that version too although I did find the polish made it a little bland. I therefore looked forward to taking home Toolbox Murders hoping for a repetition of that original experience felt when watching Chainsaw Massacre. The first major shock was that Tope Hooper doesn't seem to have moved out of the 1970's with this film, I honestly felt like I was watching a seriously dated slasher flick, the acting was wooden, the inbred/mutant/murderer was pathetic and the atmosphere just seemed to lack depth and claustrophobia Tobe Hooper managed to achieve so well in Chainsaw Massacre. I would realistically recommend that you do NOT rent this movie and if it is playing free to view late at night on your TV, have an early one!
