The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: House
built 803 days ago
As with the original, the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a dish served cold and fast and furious. There's barely a chance to scream out "don't go in the house" before another victim is dispatched. And the filmmakers' employ every trick in the book from shock cuts to sharp sounds and shrill music to keep the audience on edge. The manipulation is precise but what has been lost in the intervening years is the black comic underpinnings - save for a bookended faux documentary - that somehow kept the creepiness and abject horror at bay.

The house the most recent remake of the Texas Chainsaw Masscare was filmed in, was that the same house from the first movie in 1974? And what town is that house located in??

Scenes were filmed in several locations in Texas; the Gas station scene was filmed in the rural town of Bastrop, which is located about thirty miles south-east of Austin, while the cemetery scenes where filmed in Leander. Some scenes where ... filmed in the city of Austin. Since the film was released, the location used as the Sawyer family house has changed completely. It is now an open field, with no indication there ever was a house there. The house itself allegedly has been relocated and is used as a restaurant in Kingsland, Texas. Special effects were fairly simple and likewise limited by the budget.

Retrograde or not, Bush's convincing win over John Kerry means that America's identity has now been subsumed by the Texas worldview. American voters have chosen a government that is militarist, self-absorbed, piously Christian, dominated by big business, generally unconcerned about social inequality, and perfectly happy with regressive taxation. Those characteristics have defined Texas for generations. And now that Bush has regained the White House, the state will accelerate its export of these attitudes to rest of the United States, if not to the rest of the world.
