On August 7, 1939, after a mother dies giving birth to a deformed child and the baby is disposed of into a dumpster. A homeless woman discovers the baby and takes her to shelter. This deformed child becomes Leatherface.
In 1969 two brothers are going to enlist to fight in Vietnam, traveling through Texas with girlfriends they end up being cased by a biker with a shotgun. during the chase they crash into a cow and lose control of their car, this is when they come across the Sheriff (R. Lee Ermey). Things soon get a whole lot worse for the travelers.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Beginning has a very similar feel to the 2003 remake, so if you liked that you'll like this. I think it's fair to say that this film is even more brutal and gory than the first film, they have taken things a step further with this movie making some of the scenes difficult to watch. I found myself turning away from some of the most brutal scenes.
R. Lee Ermey - Charlie Hewitt has a bigger part in this film which is definitely a good thing as he was one of the best things about the 2003 remake. He manages to be even more charismatic and even creepier then he was in the first film which is a great achievement. The rest of cast also provide good performances.
The cinematography is again brilliant, really adding to the atmosphere and tension. Combined with an effective score which really sets the mood and creates a great feel.
Overall this is a well put together movie that will scare and disturb you, if that sounds like your kind of thing then you'll definitely enjoy this.
7 out of 10
