The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

2006 · 1h 31m · Horror, Thriller

IMDb 5.8 Metacritic 30 RT 16%

Skip this prequel unless you're a diehard franchise completist. It's a generic slasher cash-grab that wastes its origin story potential by delivering predictable kills and derivative scares instead of anything genuinely chilling or insightful about how Leatherface became a killer.

Plot

Chrissie and her friends set out on a road trip for a final fling before one is shipped off to Vietnam. Along the way, bikers harass the foursome and cause an accident that throws Chrissie from the vehicle. The lawman who arrives on the scene kills one of the bikers and brings Chrissie's friends to the Hewitt homestead, where young Leatherface is learning the tools of terror.

Director: Jonathan Liebesman

Cast: Jordana Brewster, Taylor Handley, Diora Baird, Matt Bomer, R. Lee Ermey
