[.ca] The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

gorier than ever:
if you're a gore hound,you will love this movie.i think it it is much gorier than any previous entry in the franchise.in fact,i think this movie makes any of the Friday the 13th movies look like an episode of Mr.Rogers Neighbourhood.this one just about crosses my gore threshold.having said that,i don't feel this movie was as thrilling as the previous ones.i didn't really feel any adrenaline rush.in fact,i thought some parts were slow.i did,however like how they showed the genesis of both Leatherface and the rest of the family.they didn't spend a lot of time on this aspect,but i think they pretty much covered everything they needed.i also really liked the music.i thought it set a great tone for the movie.whether it's a better movie than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake of 2001 is a matter of personal taste.my vote is a 3/5

Disappointing. Doesn't measure up to the 2003 remake.:
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- The Beginning is a prequel to the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre and tells the story of how Leatherface and his family started. The movie doesn't deliver. I was looking forward to this film and was disappointed with the film. The film just didn't meet expectations and isn't really scary. The advertising line "The only thing more scary about this film is how it began" or something like that. The acting was terrible. This is one of the worst horror films of 2006.

AMAZINGLY AWESOME:
Ignore the hype to hate this movie, I'm a huge fan of good solid horror flicks and this is definitely one of them. I went in wanting to hate, but was blown away by top notch effects and over the top gore. There isn't a dull moment in this flick. Yeah the plot is contrived, yeah we've all seen these scenarios a hundred times before, but this movie delivers. No punches are pulled. I think its the perfect prequel to the 2003 remake.
