Summary

Don't you wish all bikers were hot like her? After 2003's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre carved up the box office, a follow-up was inevitable. But with Leatherface maimed and Sheriff Hoyt flattened, where could the story go next? Platinum Dunes chose to take the story back to The Beginning with a prequel cutting into the origins of the Hewitt clan. This chapter shows the birth of Leatherface, the rise of R. Lee Ermey’s sadistic Sheriff Hoyt, and the grim milestones that shaped the family’s descent into cannibalistic horror. Does this prequel add meaningful depth to the flesh-filled family, or does it simply serve up more carnage without purpose? The hosts sharpen their knives to decide whether this origin tale is a feast for horror fans or another stale helping in a franchise struggling to find its footing. {Texas Chainsaw Massacre Series}
