I made the mistake of buying some fast food before sitting down to watch this one and all the meat certainly didn't make me want to take a bite out of my double melt.

When I saw the previews for this movie I scoffed at the thought of them trying to make a prequel. This movie actually did a pretty good job of explaining some of the habits of the family as well as a little bit of leatherface and why he is the way he is. The acting was also pretty good for a horror movie. Overall not nearly as good as the original but still a fairly good watch.… Expand

All blood, all gore, no real scares, just lots of gross outs ... nothing like the initial remake, which was FAR superior.

Fine, but not great. Not scary or whatsoever at all and I think that this "reboot-prequel" is the worst that I've ever saw. I hope to not watch a movie like this again in my life...I doubt.

the movie is alright nothing spectacular or great. the movie shouldve been longer than 84 min to tell the story of how leather face became to be. no need for gore when u dont need it like half the movie does. i was suprised though with the the movie is alright nothing spectacular or great. the movie shouldve been longer than 84 min to tell the story of how leather face became to be. no need for gore when u dont need it like half the movie does. i was suprised though with the end and they did good on that part. still the 2 newer ones dont come close to being as good as the original one… Expand

It satisfied the stunning lead lady criteria and checked the chainsaw killing box with a big bold tick. The effects are gory, the woman damn sexy and the whole thing just a formulaic copy of the less than original remake. At least the sequel to the original did something sufficiently different to distinguish it from its predecessor. This satisfies as a wild ride that will leave you on the edge of your seat or hiding behind your fingers without originality.… Expand

Texas shotgun massacre is more like it. I am at least mildly impressed by the consistent upcoming star power this franchise was able to pull. Liked the soundtrack a little in this one, felt like a good step up over the previous few.
