10 Worst Slasher Movie Reboots Ever Made

Three years following their first attempt at re-inventing Leatherface, Platinum Dunes tried their luck with the horror icon yet again. This time around, they opted to go the route of an origin story, and wouldn't you know it, it managed to be even worse than their initial reboot.

First of all, the issue of needless gore with no substance to justify it or anything else going on is still very much present. The characters are bland and while the backstory they gave to Leatherface is, admittedly, somewhat interesting, it falls flat as a result of the poor writing.

The first remake of this series at least had the original film to fall back on if the writers got stuck. This time around, they were doing it all on their own, and that definitely showed, as they tried and failed to make anything coherent.

While worse than their first crack at this franchise, TCM: The Beginning still is not the worst of Platinum Dunes' remakes. However, it may just be the most forgettable.

It's worth noting that the bad storytelling of this and the previous film is not entirely the fault of those who made it. Michael Bay likes to let upstarts in the industry work on these horror remakes.

While that may seem like a good opportunity for them on the surface, handing someone with very little experience a treasured franchise and telling them to make a decent reboot is naive, lazy and potentially very stressful for those chosen, and shows that he doesn't care all that much for the actual product. In these films, that very much shows.
