The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
Chrissie and her friends embark on a road trip for one last wild outing before one of them is sent to Vietnam. Along the way, a gang of bikers harasses the four friends and triggers a crash that sends Chrissie flying from the vehicle. When a lawman arrives at the scene, he kills one of the bikers and takes Chrissie’s friends to the Hewitt homestead, where a young Leatherface is being taught the tools of terror.

I saw this film when it first came out on DVD back in 2006 or 07 and didn't think much of it. And my opinion pretty much remains, some great and gnarly gore that rode the line from horror to torture porn, but R. Lee Ermey was greatly sadistic and, as with Jessica Biel in TCM '05, the camera focused pretty well on Jordana Brewster's ass. I thought this one didn't have any memorable characters to make me care about their plight and the ending was laughable at just how nimble and sneaky the bulky Leatherface was somehow hide in the backseat and let our potential Final Girl drive away only to chainsaw her from the backseat (reminds me on how Mrs. Vorhees was able to take a knife through Kevin Bacon's chest from underneath a bed). I wanted to like this one and there are some things to admire with its gore effects and some very grim and dark humor, it's not a good movie but better than the subsequent outings that followed this (Texas Chainsaw 3D, Leatherface and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022). **2.5/5**
