October 20th, 2013: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning



The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning is not exactly a good movie.  I actually have a better time making fun of the characters than anything else.  Returning from the original remake is R. Lee Ermey and he is full of one liners somewhat equivelent to Full Metal Jacket.  This film is easy to hate but if you don't take seriously, it can be a lot of fun.  There's a enough gore and a few scares to make up for the countless flaws that it has.

The film takes place before the original and shows the audience how a man named Thomas became Leatherface.  The problem is, the movie spends more time focusing on poorly developed characters that never really find their place. This prequel is nothing more than a more graphic chapter in the Chainsaw series.  At the end of the day, it's nothing more than a subpar horror flick to pop on while having a few drinks and laughs with some friends.

My advice: Just watch the 1974 original if you're looking for some real scares.
