Biel didn't scream for 20 minutes straight. I was like okay this is boring and gross.

Man, the original TCM is one of the most iconic and effective horror movies of all time. Bored was I not or never. One of my good friends has never seen it so I had him over last week for a TCM on Blu-ray viewing. He thought nothing less than "iconic". I told him to imagine watching it "when you're 10"....that movie scars and is an insane discomforting ride ALL way through.
It's funny that we talk about this. I bet you Zombie was/is a huge TCM fan, because I can tell that's the stuff he imitates when he makes movies. Tobe Hooper was/is just able to do it better
And...If you saw what the original chick saw, you'd be screaming your little ass off too for quite some time too!!
