The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)



The Good:
I like seeing any serial horror franchise keep going, even though this is one of my least favorites.
It does explain the backgrounds of some of the characters from the remake's storyline.
I have a soft-spot for R. Lee Ermey and enjoy seeing him in any movie, though this isn't one of his best.

The Bad:
The plot (just plain old bad storytelling), the characters (paper-thin and under motivated), the gore (not gross enough to be comical and not subtle enough to be creepy), the boring use of the chainsaw (let's see some creativity here Leatherface!), so on and so forth...

Overall:
This is the same old crap from this new birth of Leatherface, no better than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or even The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, actually this one is a bit worse, which might just make it terrible.
