Horror Fans Arise !! All questions are answered.
Why is Leatherface the way he is? Why is Sheriff Hoyt a sadistic Sheriff? Why is Old Monty missing his legs and in a wheelchair? Everything is answered., as Leatherface,(Andrew Bryniarski), the chainsaw-wielding maniac of the 2003 remake, returns in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" (UNRATED). A movie that adds a creation myth to the usual gorefest that was based upon the TRUE EVENTS of 8/19/1973 in Texas.
Fans of the cult-hit bloody scarefest massacre will find themselves in butcher heaven — as so much intensity and gore is smeared across the screen. More sensitive watchers might need their popcorn bag to double as a barf bag. Loaded with frighteningly intense sequences and blinding violence., draped in simulated torture., nothing is sacred as the Birth and Rise of Leatherface and Family is unleashed and explained.
The movie literally begins with the birth of Leatherface, who arrives in the middle of his mother's shift at a Texas slaughterhouse. Horribly deformed, he is thrown away, but a starving cannibalistic woman, who is picking through the offal to find something to eat, discovers him and brings him home. This family, that has nothing to eat., and resorts to cannibalism, raises this infant.
The film jumps ahead years., and the slaughterhouse has closed, killing the town's business, money-flow and work. Only Leatherface and his family remain. The crazy, cunning family patriarch, Hoyt (R. Lee Ermey), hits on a master plan to keep the clan fat and happy, which mainly involves not letting anyone who crosses their path get out of town alive. "Meat is meat, bone is bone," he tells Leatherface philosophically.
Leatherface certainly does not have a problem with that. He has come to fetishly enjoy playing with dolls., living, breathing dolls that scream as he stabs and flays them before delivering his unmerciful finalizing wrath !! - In this case, the dolls in question are four young people who get in a wreck on the wrong stretch of road. This all happens fairly quickly so that the movie can get straight to the point: to give the audience the face-smearing immediate interludge of viewing the relentless carnage.
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"., which has reached absolute cult status amongst horror fans worldwide., deserved a GOOD prequel. It deserved an explanation of "The Beginnings"., (even if it's fictionalized) to lead into the horrific TRUE EVENTS of 1973. And if ever one was to be done., this is it !! Leave nothing to the imagination., buckle-in for this slaughterfest roller-coaster. And learn how the phenomena started., in all it's gut-spewing glory. Definately far from a let-down for horror fans. Sensitive viewers., definately brace yourself !! This film is RELENTLESSLY HORRIFIC !!!! MUST SEE, MUST HAVE for horror buffs !!!! ENJOY !!
