This has no good point to it, extremely lifeless and dull and way too much gore. Do not watch this, if you want to be scared or disgusted go watch The Ruins

If you are looking for non-stop build up of terror, suspense, emotions, and some blood splatter mixed with attractive young folks see the 2003 remake. If you are looking to see a grindhouse-like film with some jump surprises see the original. Although if you are willing to see a brutal exercise of gruesome violence and a back story on the life of Leatherface, sit down, grab some popcorn, and watch The Texas chainsaw massacre: The beginning. While this movie didn't live up to the 2003 remake, or its 1973 predecessor, it still is a well made film. The biggest problem is it's not "fun" to watch. It's highly brutal and there are a lot of scenes of torture. Although it's not extremely frequent, we do get more character development, hence since it's a prequel focusing on the beginning of the chainsaw massacres. The movie does slow down in some spots, but it gains enough speed to make it a mild recommendation. For sexual content, there is a scene where a woman licks a man's chest erotically, then they kiss. For violence, while it isn't extremely frequent, there is quite a bit of violence. There are tons of torture sequences as well as violent ones. For profanity, there are frequent uses of the f word and its derivative, the a words, the s words, g*dd*mn, Oh my god, and infrequent uses of c*cks*cker, p*ssy. One derogatory term for Vietnamese. One brief sexual hand gesture is seen. For drug content, people tend to drink and smoke. For commercialism, there is none to be spotted. For social behavior, it's bad. Age recommendation is seventeen and up. Constant foul language, including sexual slang for genitalia, a derogatory term for Vietnamese, and multiple scenes of torture and grotesque violence. Brief sexual content including a sexual hand gesture.

this is not for kids.

horrer

I was bored, and this was on TV, so I decided to watch it...Worst mistake ever. Not because it was scary, because it wasnt AT ALL, but because of the stupidity and lack of any emotion whatsoever. I missed the first 30 minutes, but the rest of the movie went something like this: 1. Capture 2. Torture 3. SPOILER 4. Eat 5. Fight 6. Get mad again 7. End The thing with this movie is that it gets very boring very fast, as there is not a lot of music; when there is, its depressing. Also, the majority of the violence (like with the language in "The King's Speech) is in one scene (I guess you could call it the climax), and that scene is 20 minutes before the movie ends. I can't say anything on the language because it was changed, but I remember thinking why they were using such idiotic words. While I do agree that this movie was very graphic, the term "graphic" does not always mean "scary". If your kids are mature enough to handle loads of blood and gore, it's probably alright for them to see if they are not appalled by the premise. Think a slightly toned down version of "Saw" with cannibals.

This film of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was not waht I expexted. I expected something better.WARNING: SPOILER AHAEAD...................................................................................................... I don't know I mean killing off all the characters at the end, just didn't make any sense to me whatsoever! I mean at least let that stupid girl live. JEES! Anyways go see it if you like to see horror movies.
