'Saw' People to Ruin Classic Again

As if the first retarded remake/reboot of a movie that cannot be remade wasn't bad enough, now the property is going to the untalented folks at Twisted Pictures, progenitors of the utterly retarded torture-porn subset of the horror genre.

Tobe Hooper's accidental classic, 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,' is an unremakable film. When are we going to learn this? Cult films arrive at their place in history because the filmmaker is going for one thing and ends up making something else, and it just happens to be at a perfect moment in cultural time where something new and insane is needed. You can't duplicate that kind of aesthetic. Just watch Troma pictures for perfect examples of this.

Twisted, please stick to making 'Saw' sequels for $100 dollars every year and raking in $100 million on them. You've already shit on an entire genre by creating the aforementioned retarded torture-porn set. Why do you have to shit on the movie that gave birth to cult and cult horror? You don't see anybody remaking 'The Birth of a Nation', do you? Well, Twisted? DO YOU?
