Intensely Violent, Gruesomely Gory, and about 4 Good Jump Scares.
10 October 2006
Warning: Spoilers
In this Prequel to the 2003 Remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, we learn the brief roots of how Thomas Hewitt became the chainsaw maniac that we have come to love. We learn how Sheriff Hoyt became a Sheriff and lost his teeth, how Monty looses his legs, and more importantly how Thomas gains his obsession for his chainsaw. Make no mistake, this film is as brutal and violent as they get and it shows gore and carnage that is up there with some of the hardest movies to watch because of this content. This is not a date movie or something you go and watch with family members unless they are into it as well. I went to watch this film by myself because everyone was too scared to see it. I am a long time horror fan and have seen them all. And even I was quite shocked at how this film got passed the ratings system. But it did indeed. Two men in the theater were abruptly sick and had to exit. I laughed my head off. This film is about origin and torturous, sadistic methods that Leatherface and his family inflict on a group of people. My only real complaint is that there were not enough scares or intense what-is-around-the-corner parts like the remake in 2003. But if you are a fan of Leatherface and the series like I am then I totally recommend you see this for the simple fact of the story you always wondered about.

This is my first review and I tried to give you all a gist without ruining anything. Sorry if I did because I do not believe in spoiling films. Enjoy this movie for the chainsaw kills.

p.s. I loved Sheriff Hoyt. Watch out for him.
