This prequel is just as good as the remake and it's even gorier. The story is awesome, gory, intense and highly entertaining. The acting is very believable and amazing. I love the die-hard cast and the characters. The direction is absolutely... Full review

This movie is awesome, but the remake is better. Not only, b/c it's more realistic, it's scarier. The story is stunning and it never gets boring. The acting is great and the cast is amazing. The direction is very inspiring from... Full review

Now even though I could hardly watch the movie I thought it was very well made. It shows also the true story of Ed gein. So this movie is actually suprisingly good, even though it wasn't as good as the first.... Full review

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning follows the same old formulatic plot which in the end makes this just another pointless sequel "prequel" to the franchise. This film tries to hard to stand out as a horror film and it clearly... Full review

This is what horror should be. The story is very violent, gory, intense and entertaining. Leatherface is back and meaner than ever. The gore is incredible as well as the kills. The ending is disappointing, though. The acting is outstanding as... Full review

Where Turner diverges from the course, explaining aspects of Leatherface and family's origins, the movie is at its worst.
Even more than most horror films, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, feels desperately unoriginal.

'Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning' is saved almost entirely by R Lee Ermey, whose performance is so delightfully twisted that it sort of makes everything else watchable.
A lot of critics bombed this movie

Jordana Brewster (Chrissie), Matt Bomer (Eric), Taylor Handley (Dean) and Diora Baird (Bailey) are all good and likable as the teens that come across the family.....I love the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, have a love/hate relationship with Part 2, dig Part 3, despise Part 4 and really liked the remake.....On my birthday I went to the theatres, hoping for at least a decent TCM movie....R. Lee Ermey (Sheriff Hoyt/Charlie Hewitt) was the best actor and character of the movie..... ... Full Review

you've got one of the worst horror movies ever made.....Such dedication can be beneficial when a movie requires a carefully drawn portrait of a particularly complicated individual.....is interested in is egotistical exchanges and some incredibly gruesome special effects.....Why, they get a god-awful script by Sheldon Turner (responsible for the equally hackneyed Longest Yard remake), hire Australian newcomer Jonathan Liebesman as director....Between the illogical moments where our baddie turns up in places ...

In a film like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you aren't really looking for a great plot.....The background story of the Hewitt clan and the birth of Leatherface is somewhat interesting....Liebesman and company also do a good job in having the film match the same tone and color schemes of the 2003 remake -.... ...
