Well, it's a generic horror film, of course. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how unpredictable the plot is. It doesn't follow that sort of formula where it's obvious what's going to happen and who's going to die. The flow of events is actually quite dynamic and interesting. This makes the movie much better than one might expect.

I know Horror. I have been watching horror movies for nearly half a century, and I have a personal collection of over 1300 movies and growing; a third of those movies are horror. Movies from 1922 on up!

I grew up in the seventies and eighties. First watching all the classics such as Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman, The invisible man, The Fly, The Mummy, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc. All the Vincent Price, Lon Chaney Sr., Jr., Christopher lee, and peter Cushing among others. I was there when all the 80's classics like Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Nightmare on elm street came out. The eighties gave birth to the slasher flick's and a plethora of gems like, Sleepaway camp, Basket Case, Mortuary, Evil Dead, Children of the Corn, Re-animator, Poltergeist, etc. In the 70's we had the original The Hills have eyes, I spit on your grave, and of course the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. All of these movies became classics and are considered the very best in the horror genre. However, let's be realistic. Those movies were great...at that point in time in history. Today, I can't bear to sit and watch many of them because compared to the movies made today, they seem lame. Let's face it, we have become desensitized; we need more and more violence and gore to grab our attention; and they rarely, if ever, scare us.

Many people disregard remakes because they find it offensive, and an insult to the original. I welcome them! If it can be done right then do it. However, Hollywood often, and more often than not, misses the mark. For instance, the omen, psycho, and the Friday the thirteenth remakes SUCKED! This was not the case, in my opinion, with the Hills Have Eyes ( my third favorite movie ever).

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre the Beginning was in one word...Brutal!.

I was a bit sceptical going to a theater to watch "TCM: the Beginning". What can they possibly do to surprise me or to shock me whatsoever? - I thought. - What haven't I seen already to be touched by this? Furthermore it's the good old Texas Massacre, it's been remade once - what can there be in the prequel that was not in the three year-old remake? This "wrong time, wrong place" kind of movies which once produced a very nice example with a perfect title "Wrong Turn" seemed to tumble down into a dull routine like a genre of teen-slasher movies did a couple of years back. But... not yet. This one haven't tumbled.

Two brothers with their girfriends hit a cow making a total mess on a rural road in Texas. Sheriff arrives and soon we get to know he's not an ordinary sheriff. When he takes them to his isolated house you know already a REAL mess is about to happen. Yes, many wanted to know how Leatherface became what he's infamous for. And that's not the main interest of the film although we are told the whole story in the first 10 minutes. Surprisingly R. Lee Ermey's sheriff Hoyt steals the show here, making even Leatherface look like an innocent boy, and showing himself at his insane, maniacal best. So, like stepfather, like stepson...

What "TCM: the beginning" offers us after the four friends get into the house, is a true nightmare. You haven't seen anything like this neither in previous TCM nor in other films alike. I won't even mention the quantity of gore and all the physiological details of what's happening, but emotionally this movie just leaves you speachless. It's so dark, relentless and morally exhausting you won't believe it. It's intense to the extent I wanted to yell at times: Stop it! That's enough!

I am sick of hearing the complaints and negative response from those who either worship the orginal and will never allow any other form of the story of Thomas Brown Hewit to be told and i am sick of those who hate remakes and preqeuals complaining about a movie simply due to the notion that it is a remake.

I am a horror fan, i don't accept nor love every movie that is horror but i do embrace the changing face of horror. It is is not the 1970's anymore and some of you need to deal with this. In every genre of film-making things are a changing. The style of film made these days is different to the 1970's as was 1970's film-making different to the 1960's.

Things progress and evolve and I for one am delighted that after 20 years of the orginal the concept of TCM is even still around. Be grateful for the fact that you are even getting a second run of these films after some dreadful 80's and 90's sequeals to the orginal. TCM part 4 would have to be the worst film ever - Thomas was reduced to a transexual of the highest camp - pure stupidy.

So here are producers and directors who are at least producing some horror films and further enhancing the surreal story of the Hewit family with some hardcore gore and a very contempory film-making concept and you guys still have to complain.

You know those who say Rod Zombie got the 70's style in The Devils Reject (another terrfic film) and that TCM: The Beginning didn't are fooling themselves. Film style gives away in both film that it is not 1970's film making and guess what - IT'S NOT THE 1970'S ANYMORE. I like the 1970's slasher myself but gee guys - time has moved on.
