Did you see LEATHERFACE: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3? I've heard it's not a bad film, and Viggo is in it. Bear in mind, I consider the original TCSM to be a serious work of cinematic art, and the second to be thoroughly entertaining over-the-top Grand Guignol popcorn fare.
And I hate hate hate hate hate the remake, which was playing at the same time as the PSYCHO remake on TV. Ugh! I will say, the TCSM remake did try to be different than the original, yes. But the thing was, the original was a unique work of art, while the remake was a cliched and lame modern horror film. So yes, it was different from the original because it was the same as everything else! Oy.
Sorry to tangent, but I think I at least half managed to keep true to the intent of your reply. :)
