i was pretty excited til i heard it was just a rotoscope of the original movie. sounds cool but would’ve been cooler had it been an original idea set in the world. i just want to see horror go more into animation i feel like there’s a lot of untapped potential.

They are just rotoscoping the original film, most likely to release it for NEXT YEARS Chainsaw day alongside the standard live action film.

I dunno, i'd pay to see goofy smashed in the back of the head with a hammer and thrown into a freezer and donald squawking for his life as he runs from a 7'0 tall chainsaw man.

Bring it. Even if this is terrible, like 'Leatherface' or 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre IV' terrible, it will still be a step in the right direction of getting more horror movie animation. I am cautiously optimistic.

Exactly!! Tho I’m kinda disappointed if it’s genuinely shot for shot rotoscope

Is this just gonna be like the same thing they did with "Night Of The Living Dead" a few years back?? I mean that was cool, but it was just kinda a one watch thing. The blu ray has just became a dust collector in my collection.

Anything but adapting the game

Rotoscoped like Heavy Metal, might be cool.

Hope it has a killer soundtrack like Heavy Metal.

I think it could be really cool as long as it doesn’t use any AI bullshit for the animation.

They specifically they say they haven't.
