The Texas Chainsaw Massacre the Beginning

Every story has beginning and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre the Beginning is that story. A prequel to the highly popular cult horror movie, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre takes place before the first storyline that is set in 1969. As the Vietnam war drags on, two young men are about to be shipped to this war torn country but first, a weekend with their girlfriends is on the agenda.  

As the group of friends are headed towards this desolate town, the only business that is still operating within the town suddenly closes its doors and when Thomas Hewitt discovers this fact, he brutally murders the foreman of the plant. This is the incident that leads the deformed Hewitt into becoming the monster known as Leatherface.  

Once again in classic horror movie cliché, this group of friends are involved in accident along a lonely highway, only to be taken captive by the Hewitt's uncle who poses as the towns sheriff. Without spoiling the movie, the film revolves around a chaotic and hectic night that will have your adrenaline levels rushing and be warned, this movie will leave you reeling from the hideous crimes that will be committed by this twisted family.  

Although this film follows the 2004 remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and puts enough twists and turns into the storyline to really give the viewer a new aspect into this horror mythos, even though it heavily borrows from previous film. The film has a slick presentation that is masterfully directed with a talented cast but be warned... viewer discretion is required. Definitely for horror movie buffs!
