Movie Reviews of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning - Unrated (New Line Platinum Series)
Movie Review: Delivers the goods
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably the only horror movie in the last 25 years that really made me want to look away from the screen. Since that's exactly what you're looking for in this type of film, I'd say this one really delivers the goods. It's vastly superior, IMO, to all of the previous installments in the series, including the original, which only hinted at what this one makes us experience. The performances are, without exception, outstanding. Of course, R. Lee Ermey gives his typically brilliant performance, but everyone else is believable and real as well. There's something very cathartic about getting your pulse up during an over-the-top horror film; maybe it's one way of dealing with the ultimate truth of our mortality and deepest fears. If you like extreme horror, you need to see this movie. It will stay with you long after the final credits.

Summary of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning - Unrated (New Line Platinum Series)
The only thing more shocking than how it ended is how it all began! Born under unspeakable circumstances a young orphan is taken in by the sick and demented Hewitt family and soon the seeds of a deranged murderer are planted. When two brothers and their girlfriends stumble across the house of horrors. Leatherface reveals his ravenous appetite for chainsaws and torture as the teens fight to survive.Running Time: 89 min.System Requirements:Running Time: 84 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?HORROR Rating:?R UPC:?794043106545 Manufacturer No:?N10654The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning is a prequel to the recent remake of Tobe Hooper's classic 1974 splatter film, with an emphasis on the vogue for torture and bottomless depravity that characterize contemporary horror. As one might expect, The Beginning is just that, an origins tale about the Hewitt family of backwoods Texas. Step by step, we discover the source of their taste for human flesh, penchant for snaring young people passing through, and, most of all, how young Leatherface (Andrew Bryniarski) came to choose his favorite power tool and wear a mask made of someone else's flesh. R. Lee Ermey is very effective in his perverse authority figure mode as Hoyt, the lawman who earned his badge through unorthodox means and now supplies specialized food to the Lone Star cannibals. Much less interesting than Hooper's two Massacre films, The Beginning (on which Hooper has a production credit) is not so much a tribute to the films he directed but a more sadistic continuation of the franchise. --Tom Keogh
