The anticipated film, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning was an utter drag. It was hyped up to be much more than it actually was. Not to mention that it didn’t even compare to the first remake. Critics have given the movie a D rating. While there are millions of horror and suspense movie fans, Texas Chainsaw Massacre fell through without showcasing any true horror or suspense. This movie displayed too much gore and not enough story lines. There was no depth, just blood, body parts and loud screams, along with pointless screams that were nothing more than a warning with the word “spoiler” attached to them.
The audience may have speculated that the sequel would pick up where the first one began which previewed the girl who committed suicide in the van. Thinking they would re-tell her story or even give a review of what happened in the first movie did not take place. Then the irony that no one survives in the movie, absolutely takes the entire thrill. The average horror movie connoisseur likes to at least be given the illusion that someone is going to make it.
However, Texas Chainsaw Massacre is neither for the “squeamish” nor those who like to be surprised at the end of a movie. This film is merely filled with blood baths, screaming, and prolonged deaths. There is no mystery and every character is on a waiting list for death and probably won’t survive long enough for you to finish your popcorn and leave.
As scary as it may sound Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning will do well in the box office, because people are anxious to see what happens based on the first movie, while other critics will see it just to confirm or disapprove of reviews (like this one). Either way, it’s highly suggested that you save your $8 and read a scary movie with your 10-year-old little brother. at least you know two people live in the end!
