The Texas Chain”SAW” Massacre…oh no.

Fuck you, Lionsgate. If you think that having Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes studio buying up and remaking every single horror franchise to come before 1995, well, it’s when they sell them to someone worse. Since the Saw series has officially kicked itself into cruise control, to the point where they don’t even try to market them anymore as it’s became a tradition that nobody really even cares about, but profit is profit, no matter how meager, the folks at Lionsgate and more specifically Twisted Pictures are looking for something else to sink their teeth into. And what will they do? Oh yeah, take The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and remake the remake, and make it in 3D! Bring in some “Leatherface Apprentice” thing and it’s already Saw 7 with about all the plot development that the Saw sequels built off of the first film, which is a shame, since while I am not a fan of the original Saw, it had so much potential.
The worst part…the person who is writing it is Stephen Susco, the douchebag who wrote the remake of The Grudge. How do shitty people get into this industry and STAY there? It’s so hard to break in, and yet, these people make it look easy. So we are to now expect a Texas Chainsaw Massacre film every year for a few years at least, and to rape a horror classic in ways that Michael Friggin’ Bay couldn’t even do. Terrific. Why couldn’t they just show this much respect to Repo! The Genetic Opera? I’m still reeling that after Darren Lynn Bousman made Lionsgate/Twisted so much money making their petty crap, they shat on the film that proved him to be a talented director, a terrific film visually, musically, everything, it’s just tops.

I wish they stopped after the first one.
