Good gore, but still no beginning
6 October 2006
First and foremost, if you enjoy movies for the sake of gore, blood, and no "take-away" shots, then this movie is for you. When anyone does anything, you see it actually happen right there. It's awesome.

As the name would suggest, this movie was supposed to be about the beginning and how he came to be "Leatherface". However, we only see a montage in the introduction of images fading to black that are supposed to resemble the torture that brought him to go on a killing spree. I won't say what they show but if you pay attention you might be able to put some backstory behind his killings. Unfortunately, that did not suffice for me. I know you are probably thinking that it would be boring talk and irrelevant banter about him being mistreated and abused, but it would have been nice to see what was the breaking point that made him turn into this raving lunatic killer.

In essence, the movie is really like all the other Texas Chainsaw movies, so if you are a fan of the series or just enjoy actually seeing the damage being done, this movie will definitely please you.
