The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
Why is it always horror movies that have the worst sequels and prequels? With so many interesting concepts floating around, why must all of them be beaten to death? Even before this abomination was released, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation had effectively killed all clout the series held with fans.
Again, we’re given another origin story that isn’t necessary, as the story tries to explain why Leatherface and his family are so demented. Teenagers come along, get chopped into bits, blah blah blah. Wasn’t the original better when the family was an unexplained backwoods phenomenon? It becomes a much more effective film when nobody has any idea just what is happening.
Despite everything working against this garbage, it gets points for having R. Lee Ermey in it. In fact, he would make a fantastic Leatherface.
