2. Texas Chainsaw
A reboot nobody asked for of a film that has already been remade and festooned with unnecessary sequels and prequels, Texas Chainsaw is about as joylessly unimaginative as these retreads come. The most appealing thing that can be said about it is that the opening sequence shows some of the original film's footage rendered in 3D, which is cool for a moment, before the actual film begins and we're dragged through another lazy, boring film in which Leatherface hunts a gang of nubile, idiotic teens. Though the film makes an unexpectedly bold move to re-assign Leatherface as an anti-hero, it doesn't work because the tone is so off-kilter, and the protagonist's behaviour towards Leatherface changes drastically without it being explained psychologically. Simply, this is a film that believes it can serve up the same old slop with a mild inversion and 3D sheen and take viewers for a ride. Thankfully, it didn't even make its budget back...
