The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (Unrated Edition)

Considering I am a collector I had to have this one to add to my collection

Many viewers found The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) to be needlessly mean shock cinema. But I always found it truly appropriate for the inherently cruel story and characters. They were meant to be insidious psychopathic cannibals, right? So following in the same shocking vein, this prequel opens with a viscerally graphic birth scene complete with a slimy animatronic fetus on the floor of a slaughterhouse. That visual alone ought to inform you if this film is for you. Clearly, it’s trying to push the limits of the 2003 reboot.The unsightly baby is rescued from an offal dumpster and taken to the old Hewitt house; the opening credit sequence is littered with visuals of lacerated flesh and the sounds of wet chunks of meat being squeezed between fingers; and the language describing Thomas “Leatherface” Hewitt (Andrew Bryniarski; The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Mother’s Day) is not just culturally insensitive, but brutal.In current day 1969 two twenty-something couples are driving across the country. After a car accident, Bailey (Diora Baird; Night of the Demons, 30 Days of Night: Dark Days), Chrissie (Jordana Brewster; The Faculty), Eric (Matt Bomer; American Horror Story, The Sinner) and Dean (Taylor Handley; Bird Box) are picked up by the sheriff and taken to his home. A glowing example of psychopathy, “Sheriff Hoyt” (R. Lee Ermey; The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Rift, The Frighteners, Up from the Depths, The Watch) takes every opportunity to rattle our senses as the most vile entity we meet in this story. Leatherface is an animal, but Hoyt is a true monster.The pacing is strong. True to its 2003 and 1974 source material, this movie’s violence is jarringly abrupt and abundant. From roadkilled cow and dispatched bikers, to hammer homicide and peeling off entire faces, the action starts right away and takes few breaks from shocking us. For example, Leatherface’s hammer game is strong in this movie! Not since Annie Wilkes in Misery (1990) have I seen someone so brutally hobbled, making bone meal out of a poor guy’s knees.This Leatherface is also among the grossest (although not so perverted as in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), with a degenerative skin disease and his arms seem perpetually discolored in dry oxidized blood. He’s always sweaty, he’s always filthy, and his presence feels the most menacing of any TCM film (1974-2017).We see heads get blown apart, horrendous beatings, someone getting chainsawed in half, legs are amputated on screen, and skin get flayed before our eyes. We also enjoy (I think) the most chainsaw deaths and attacks of the entire franchise from originals to reboots. Personally, I’d say director Jonathan Liebesman (Darkness Falls, Battle Los Angeles, Wrath of the Titans) did well by TCM fans, and his amped up brutality really just seems to follow the trend in TCM movies leading up to this.This movie is a blast for gorehounds! I haven’t seen 2003 recently enough to say for sure, but this and 1986 might just be my two favorite TCM movies.

I know Horror. I have been watching horror movies for nearly half a century, and I have a personal collection of over 1300 movies and growing; a third of those movies are horror. Movies from 1922 on up!I grew up in the seventies and eighties. First watching all the classics such as Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman, The invisible man, The Fly, The Mummy, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc. All the Vincent Price, Lon Chaney Sr., Jr., Christopher lee, and peter Cushing among others. I was there when all the 80's classics like Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Nightmare on elm street came out. The eighties gave birth to the slasher flick's and a plethora of gems like, Sleepaway camp, Basket Case, Mortuary, Evil Dead, Children of the Corn, Re-animator, Poltergeist, etc. In the 70's we had the original The Hills have eyes, I spit on your grave, and of course the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. All of these movies became classics and are considered the very best in the horror genre. However, let's be realistic. Those movies were great...at that point in time in history. Today, I can't bear to sit and watch many of them because compared to the movies made today, they seem lame. Let's face it, we have become desensitized; we need more and more violence and gore to grab our attention; and they rarely, if ever, scare us.Many people disregard remakes because they find it offensive, and an insult to the original. I welcome them! If it can be done right then do it. However, Hollywood often, and more often than not, misses the mark. For instance, the omen, psycho, and the Friday the thirteenth remakes SUCKED! This was not the case, in my opinion, with the Hills Have Eyes ( my third favorite movie ever).The Texas Chainsaw Massacre the Beginning was in one word...Brutal!. I was simply awesome. It is NOT a remake; it is a prequel. It tells and shows the birth of Tommy "Leatherface". It was well acted, well scripted, and gave you a sense of reality. It has the feel of actually being filmed in the early seventies!, I especially loved the directors choice of music; which was in accordance with the times. The chainsaw scenes were brutal and quite graphic. Besides Rob Zombies The Devil's Rejects, this is my favorite movie ever and that says a lot to a person like me that has collected them for decades and truly enjoys the art of horror.If you are truly a connoisseur of this genre, then do yourself a favor and give this movie a chance. Watch it with an open mind. You won't be disappointed!
