Pluskylang Great Film overall

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

bob4000-912-722990 If like me you love leather face then I will say this stay away from this movie it is very very bad I don't know how you can mess up a Texas chainsaw massacre film but this is living proof that you can

HoneyDew King of the West Its hard to imagine a better way to add to this franchise. Idiot reviews aside, its worth a watch. The sworn enemy of the hand, Danny Rand, the Iron Fist.

tresm87 It stars out semi interesting as we see a young Jedidiah Sawyer and his decrepitly twisted family trying to sway him into their evil ways. Then it takes the story in a completely opposite direction for about an hour with a whole different feel and initiative. This is where it runs into some dragged on problems of scattered plotting and pointless gratuitous violence without substantial connection to the overall story. There's a character named Bud that has an overwhelmingly distinct look to that of Leatherface with a heavy stature and messy brown hair and you're constantly thinking that will end up being the iconic character until they throw their massive attempt at a clever twist at you and kill him off only to have the very unsuspected Jackson character turn out to be the main character. This ridiculous move alone destroyed this film's potential. I get wanting to be clever and unsuspecting with the plot in this day and age of endless twists and turns, but it would've been so uttlery fitting to have had Bud turn out to be Leatherface. I don't think it would've made the overall mediocre story and pacing much better but it would've added a familiarity element to have that outcome. Maybe I'm just being biased but overall this origin story didn't amount to much other than some well shot cinematography and a few throwbacks to the franchise. I'd stick to the original, extremely underrated 2003 remake, and even the ok origin story to that "the Beginning".

TdSmth5 It's little Jed's birthday and the family celebrates by giving him a chainsaw as a gift. They expect him to put it to good use on a pig thief they caught. But Jed fails the test. That's no to say the thief doesn't meet and unpleasant death. Next, Jed is dressed up in as and in a pig's corpse and lures a teenage girl to a barn where his brothers will kill her gruesomely. But this girl is the daughter of a cop so he takes Jed and has him institutionalized. 10 years later we meet a bunch of kids who at the mental institution as new and lovely nurse Lizzy starts working there. The good old doctor subjects the patients to electroshock therapy. When Verna wants to visit Jed, the doctor refuses, so Verna decides to explore on her own just as all hell breaks loose. Staff are killed and 4 kids escape taking Lizzy hostage. Among them are the crazed Ike and his crazier girlfriend Clarice, the more levelheaded Jackson and the fat kid Bud. It takes a while till we find out which one of them is Jed. Why all of the kids let Ike abuse them is not clear when all he has is a broken bottle. In any case, they make their escape, end up in a diner, shoot up the place and make off with a bunch of guns. Now the cops are on their trail.Eventually the kids will take on Ike, Jed is revealed when he makes it back to his family ranch and the family takes on the cops. We learn also why Jed starts wearing a leatherface.Leatherface is a pretty good horror movie, but it's not that good of an entry into the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. That said, it's much better than some of the other disasters that have been made. It's somewhere in the middle I would say. Direction is good, acting is strong overall and the movie looks very nice. It's definitely a return to form for Bustillo and Maury who've had a hard time recapturing the spirit of Inside. It could have used more gore and nudity but it's worth a watch.
