I am very outspoken on my opinions of remakes, but the 2004 version aint that bad. As Wes Craven has recently said,…’the original still exists, you can still watch it..’
I love the original, its opressive tone and almost dirge-like pacing.
One of the greatest aspects of the original is the little nuances of brilliance. IE, the camera work is beyond any horror film of the era (the dolly under the swing shot is in the forefront of my reasoning). The auditory world created, not by music but by sound is a beautiful thing. Using ambience to create a sense of dread is a difficult thing to do and it has it in spades.
The remake had great aesthetics, to be sure (original DP Daniel Pearl lensed the remake also), but I don’t think that Leatherface was as balls to the wall frightening as he was in the original trilogy.
Alll in all though, I’d watch TCM 2004 over The Fog 05 any day.

“You gotta be fucking kidding….”
“If all the dead bodies were to stand up around here at once, we’d have one hell of a population problem.”
“Run rabbit, RUN rabbit….”
Guess the films!!!!
Hard Rock/Hair Metal/Punk all the way.
Alice Cooper,Kiss, The Ramones, Van Halen, Poison, Rancid, Foo Fighters, RHCP, The Veronicas have nice…er harmonies
If I hear James Blunt, Alex LLoyd, Coldplay, U2 (old U2 is still cool), I’ll either turn off the radio or sacrifice the nearest human.
I’ve got the 25th Anniversary DVD (US) and
TVYNS on dvd and, being a Sound Designer, have to go with TVYNS. BUT the 25th Anniversary is the one that I watch more often.PEACE TE HECK OUT BROTHERS!

PS I bet the next annoucement we hear from Warner Bros. – JJ Abrahms to Direct The Exorcist 1.2 – The Remake that should Never Happen
I always thought that Damien was a bastard, born out of wedlock myself. That’s why she had the shrine. Was the Uncle his Mum’s brother?
Could explain a lot of things…I don’t know of any brother-in-law that would care that much for his sister-in-law. I’d say that he was his Mother’s brother.
