i won't even give it a star. that was messed up. i mean u have a girl who has clearly "saw" it all, from all her friends being killed to God knows what and at the end when she thought ********* over and she's free, leatherface comes up and kills her too and then there are the credits. this was a horrible movie

Auds would be well advised not to attempt "Beginning" on a full stomach. Full Review

Sadly, this movie is a far cry from the atmospheric, even thoughtfully crafted original, which made you truly scared for the unkempt, everyman victims. But this latest version, though just as grisly, is literally hackwork, and stars a forgettable, airbrushed cast of slaughterees. Full Review

Just another trip down a very dusty road. Full Review

Unlike "Hostel" or "Wolf Creek," TCM:B is rank and depressing. Full Review

The whole fear-of-obese-hillbillies device is starting to smell as stale as Leatherface's playroom. Does this horror trend simply reflect a national fear, as giant radioactive ants personified the Bomb in the 1950s? If so, maybe it's time for us all to go on a diet; America needs fresh fodder for its boogeymen. Full Review
