GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

masonfisk I can just see the look on Jordana Brewster's face as she looked at this film's screenplay & muttered under her breath "Really? I got to do one of these things!" Neither terrifying or horrific in any sense of the words, the prequel to the 70's classic skews more to the Strangers/Saw movies than anything approximating a good film. When will the makers of these types of films realize we need someone to root for. By providing context of the background of the killers we know who'll survive, what investment do we have in watching this dreck? Until film goers start voting w/their wallets & ignore this crap we're going to keep getting it & w/this title's pedigree, the ol' charnel conveyor belt will have material for years to come.

mikekalb-28834 I can't believe the low rating this has on here (hence why I don't go by others reviews for movies). I thought this movie w as well done. I loved how it filled in the gaps from the remake. R Lee Ermey (RIP) did an amazing job! He will be missed.

wmusiwa Another very good and unpredictable production unlike many horror films these days, BRAVO!

SnoopyStyle Thomas Hewitt/Leatherface grew up working in the Texas slaughterhouse despite being discarded as a baby by Uncle Charlie Hewitt (R. Lee Ermey). In 1969, the slaughterhouse is condemned. Thomas and Uncle Charlie kill the entire Sheriff's department and Uncle Charlie impersonates Sheriff Hoyt. Meanwhile, Dean (Taylor Handley) is on his way back to fight in Vietnam. His girlfriend Chrissie (Jordana Brewster) is concerned. He thinks his brother Eric (Matt Bomer) is joining him. Instead, Eric and his girlfriend Bailey (Diora Baird) intend to head for Mexico. After encountering a group of bikers, the foursome is pursued by biker Alex. The brothers fight about Eric burning his draft card. Dean is distracted by the gun waving and the fighting when they crash into a cow on the road. Hoyt arrives and kills Alex. He takes Dean, Eric, and Bailey prisoner while Chrissie remains hidden. Chrissie flags down Alex's biker boyfriend Holden.This is a prequel of the 2003 remake. There is nothing new added to the franchise. With a prequel, the ending is pre-determined. They are mostly going through the motion here. It should explain why Alex is chasing the group waving a shotgun when its happening. The whole setup is weirdly unsatisfying. It's a lot blood and gore with nothing scary. There is no emotional intensity. The characters are not that compelling. It's basically a lesser repeat.
