	Author	Review
United States	Dave Kehr The New York Times	"Rather than exhilaration, this bilious film offers only entrapment and despair. It's about as much fun as sitting in on an autopsy."	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The new version of 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' is a contemptible film: Vile, ugly and brutal. There is not a shred of a reason to see it (…) Rating: 0 (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Manohla Dargis Los Angeles Times	"The remake moves faster and sounds louder, but comes off as callous rather than creepy."	NEG
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"On its own terms it plays well, although the sense that it's an unnecessary remake is inescapable (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"[it] has the gooey look of a distinctly modern production (...) with the actors dressed as if they are heading down to the MTV Beach House (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"An initially promising, but quickly disappointing retread of Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel's hugely influential horror classic."	NEG
United Kingdom	Jamie Russell BBC	"This "reimagining" (as the producers would have us call it) is probably slick and sick enough to win as many fans as detractors (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"It takes a little while to kick into high gear, but when it does it’s unrelenting (...) In terms of remakes, it’s pretty decent."	POS
United States	Mike Bracken IGN	"[It] stands as a soulless, and needless, remake of a classic genre film"	NEG
