10 Worst Slasher Movie Reboots Ever Made
8. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
This is the first appearance by a Platinum Dunes film on this list and spoiler alert: it won't be the last. Michael Bay's production company has turned out some utter garbage over the years, but some of the worst they have to offer is undoubtedly their horror movies. One of the very first they made being their 2003 rehash of Tobe Hooper's cult classic, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
In any case, the number one problem that will remain a constant throughout this list is present in this movie. That being the over-reliance on blood, gore and violence with nothing of any real substance. Now, the original film was relentlessly violent, yes. However, it was also had brilliantly executed tension, atmosphere, as well as memorable characters and moments to back it up. None of this appears in the remake.
This films follows suit with the Black Christmas remake, in that the filmmakers simply decided to take the lazy route and throw some blood and guts onto the screen before calling it a day. It only gets worse from here on in, though, as this terrible remake is only one of many for Platinum Dunes.
