Customer Review: Forget Leatherface, Sheriff Hoyt is the really scary monster
Summary: 4 Stars
The 2003 remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" creeped me out. Of course I waited until late at night to watch it, which is what you were supposed to do with a horror movie. I will not go so far as to say this is a great horror film, and I am not suggesting that it replace the raw power of Tobe Hooper's original in any one's mind, but it sure creeped me out more than any of the new releases I have seen in the last year of so.
Maybe part of the effectiveness of this remake is that for those of us who watched the original we know the basics of what is going to happen so that there is a sense of anticipation that no matter what is happening on screen something really bad is about to happen. But if I were going to point to something else beyond the cinematography it would be the fact that this time Leatherface is not the really scary one. No, the honor goes to R. Lee Ermey who brings his drill sergeant from Hell to the character of Sheriff Hoyt. Even before Leatherface shows up these teenagers are in way over their heads. For those of us who heard stories about red-neck Southern sheriffs pulling over long-haired teenagers his character certainly resonates, and in this film he has four teenagers to put through their paces.
The 6-inch Sheriff Hoyt figure is 7 1/4 inches tall on its base, which includes the back of the van with the window blown out by the hitchhiker the kids picked up. Hoyt is wearing his full sheriff's uniform and has his handgun. Once again, it is not just the details of this McFarlane Toys figure but the way they capture Ermey's face that makes this one work. Just look at the eyes, the stubble on his cheek, and the hands on his watch, but mainly look at that sneering mouth. McFarlane's Movie Maniacs Series 7 figures include three other "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" characters, good girl Erin (Jessica Biel), Old Monty (Terrence Evans), and, of course, Thomas Hewitt a.k.a. Leatherface (Andrew Bryniarski).
