This is by far the best movie of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. Its by far the most brutal movie, and includes such graphic scenes as Leather Faces first "face peel" and "the birth of the monster" Two thumbs WAY UP!

More entertaining than the first one, the reason I gave it a 1 is because all the little whining bitches get killed by Mister "Scary-man". Overall, it is the worst prequel I've ever seen. The characters deserved to die.

This movie was entertaining. But mostly because of the fact, that my friend and me could discuss about the illogical decicions of the actors (who would later die because of their dumbness), the non-existing storyline and the fact, that the "based on a true story" is merely an excuse to show such a sad picture of mankind. However, I gave it 2 points, because people who like shallow movies and be entertained without thinking MIGHT be able to finish watching the movie without asking themselves what this whole movie was about.

As if the horrible remake of the 1970s classic wasn't bad enough, here comes the prequel. Even worse than the remake. The original was so great because it was terrifying without being gruesome. It also stayed close to the truth. But this movie is the exact opposite. It's a ridiculously gory and a ridiculously absurb movie. So, what do you get? Another horrible slasher film. What should you do to escape this movie? Rent the original or get it off eBay. But unless you REALLY want to see someone get their face cut off, run. And fast.

IT was a whole lot better than the last one. But I did find myself thinking about other things for a little bit of the movie. As gore goes, it's the best gorey movie of its season!!!!!!

Tobe Hooper killed his own franchise with a sequel. He doesn't need some terrible remakes and prequels to help him. He did just fine.
