Dean's brother Eric, who has already seen his share of combat, plans to take Dean to enlist in his beloved Marine Corps in hopes of keeping an eye on him rather than letting him take his chances at the local induction center. But Dean's plans do not coincide with his older brother¹s. Instead, he plans to confront Eric about dodging the draft after the boys and their respective girlfriends, Bailey and Chrissie, head across Texas for a final fling of serious fun. Soon after their journey begins, the spirited foursome is spooked by a menacing pair of bikers, Holden and his girlfriend, Alex. When Alex chases the group's jeep, propelling them into a serious accident, Chrissie is thrown from the vehicle. As Alex attempts to rob the injured trio, Sheriff Hoyt arrives on the scene and turns the tables on their would-be assassin. While Chrissie hides in the nearby brush, she watches as the sheriff kills Alex in cold blood and then inexplicably taunts her friends before ordering them into the back of the patrol car. Unbeknownst to Chrissie, Hoyt is headed back to the Hewitt family home where Thomas who is being groomed to become the terrifying monster known as Leatherface and the rest of the Hewitt clan await.

Wasn't necessary.And(spoiler)since everyone died in the end,made it more unnecessary.Just gross really...
All movies that already have 12 made after it then one comes out called "the beginning". Is irratating, but this one is alright.
what a disturing movie.....I dont know whats the purpose of this movie.
Unless u like to see blood splattering in ur face, pass it. I wouldnt pay for it, and Im questioning if its worth seeing for free too.
Well, Eric was pretty cute.

Attention sadists: Demand more from your gorefests than this pro forma return to the well. Has mass murder ever been this dull?full review
If you are into extremes this ultra-violent blood feast is probably just your ticket.full review
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning misses everything that made the first one eat into your spine like meningitis.full review
Reducing the iconic brute to a victim of childhood neglect and abuse? That's not, as The Beginning's tagline boasts, "The Birth of Fear." It's the death of it.full review
