Synopsis

Though it's spawned a handful of sequels, it took more than 30 years for Tobe Hooper's ever-potent horror classic to get an origin story. Why is Leatherface so angry? Whose face does he wear as a mask? How did his family get their taste for human flesh? A 2003 remake revisited the original film, painted with post-millennial gloss by former music video director Marcus Nispel. For his second feature, director Jonathan Liebesman (DARKNESS FALLS) follows suit.

The film opens with the 1949 birth of the child who would become Leatherface--to an obese slaughterhouse worker. She dies during childbirth and the deformed baby is later found among refuse by his adoptive mother. Twenty years later, Chrissy (Jordana Brewster), Dean (Taylor Handley), Bailey (Doira Bird), and Eric (Matthew Bomer) are driving cross country. A run-in with some bikers leads to an intervention by crazed cannibal clan leader Hoyt (R.Lee Ermey), who has just killed the sheriff of the dwindling Texas town and taken on the mantle himself. The massacre is about to begin!

5.0 out of 5 stars New Line does it again, 11 Jul 2007
By Peter J. Hodgson "Grim" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved the remake though it couldnt touch the original and this prequel does it justice as Tobe Hooper shared some involvment in the making, the back story is creepy and Leatherface hasnt lost the edge. This is a great installment to the series. Now lets hope New Line churns out the rumored Elm Street Prequel or The Elm Street Murders.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blood soaked horror at its best., 30 April 2007
By Mr. D. Bell "Dan Bell" (Northampton, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
If you reading this then you obviously have a good idea of what the film is about. As far as horror films go, this one is a treat.

The film is sold as being "an origin story" but it is really just another excuse to see who can come up with the most twisted and disturbing way of killing someone. This film scores highly on that front, especially with one of the characters death towards the end, which is as sick as anything I have seen on film before.

The film is shot in the same way as the chainsaw remake a couple of years ago in a very stylish fashion. There are lots of long sweeping shots which give the film a sense of scale. It looks fantastic and once the action moves to "that" house the atmosphere becomes very chilling and claustrophobic.

The film is a must see for horror fans. Whilst not exactly re-inventing the wheel, it does take a fresh look at a very old character. This film does exactly what it was intended to do, provide numerous scares, all soaked in a copious amount of blood and gore.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good Modern horror and a treat for slasher fans !!! !! !!!, 21 Mar 2007
By M. Western "Zombie" (Wakefield, West yorkshire, Enagland, Eurpoe, Earth, Some random 'milky way') - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This, no matter what the reviews say, is actually a decent film if your into this kind of thing. Dont get me wrong its not THAT amazing as with most modern mainstream horror but compared to the line up at the moment its doping okay and is one of the better horrors out at the moment. For slasher fans or hardcore horror fans then this should offer some of the bloody death scenes youd get from some of the better horrors and although their not all the most creative and gory death scenes in the world they do hold up as bieng okay and the story of how LeatherFace got to like his chainsaw fits in pretty well with the story.
Leatherface himself looks pretty good really and unlike the remake of the origonal this film doesnt get in the way too muhc in way of how it fits in with the other films of the same series, yet saying that i would say its more of a prequel to the remake than the origonal.
For fans of the actual series aswell this should be okay unless your one of the old school fans who believe if a film isnt up to par in way of story and atmosphere to the origonal then its not up to standard then this film wont be too much of a treat for you as it was for me.
Yet if your a general horror fan that will fall for most films with a few memorable or half bloody scenes in then this should be worth what you pay for it (isnt realy that much) and will make a decent addition to your ever ending collection.
This version of the film is also very good and although isnt saying much in the way of bieng "Unrated" it has a decent little line up of extras whihc are basicaly the same as most of the modern dvd's of the producer and the cover looks quiet cool if that matters?
So, if your a begginer to horro and go for all the mainstream horror and dont really care whats on screen then this should be a decent flick for you, if your a hard core and have been collecting from the depths of ebay and from the corners of the earth then this is a decent little modern slasher that may be rememberd for its title but in a while it wont stand upto some other films of its genre. Yet overall it is generally okay in terms of death scenes, and in this case acting (which is a surpise) and a decent story that fits with the rest of the films well and is quiet fast paced.
