Texas Chainsaw Massssssacre the Beginning
 

Last night I saw this movie. I thought like with every other horror movie I've seen there'd be at least 1 person that survives. I'm not complaining that no one escaped alive, cuz I don't recall that I've ever seen a movie with not even 1 survivor. What I didn't get was the end. This girl was running from leatherface. She ran downstairs, started the car & sped down the highway. Leatherface of course was going after her. I think he even looked out the window. What I don't get is when she went on down the road, leatherface popped up from the backseat with the chainsaw. Now unless he was like some kind of magician, then that would be imposssible. Which we all know he's not a magician. I even went back & watched it again. What I saw the second time was just as I had seen it the first. Ruined the whole movie for me. Anyone care to explain this? Or do I need to watch it for a 3rd time?

Well for one, you should of known nobody would be a "Survivor", as this movie was a Prequel. If someone would of survived, then this film wouldn't of been a prequel. If I can remember correctly, I think he looked at the car correct ? (I haven't seen it in awhile) That is the meat factory where he worked, he probley could navigate through that place with his eyes closed. As he knew a short-cut to get to the car, he knew that that was her escape route.

You should of probley but this in the Modern Movie Section. I hope this helps you out.

Leatherface has a batmobile!Jesus!Didn't you know that??!?!You fail....

geewillacers, to the batcave!

Leatherface has issues.

I never questioned it when I saw it at the movies, I'll have to check it out again.

Nah he's just misunderstood :)

Haha





The Easter Bunny Massacre








Whats in YOUR basket?

I actually liked this one better than the remake.....until the ending. I thought it was just dumb, and no it didn't make any sense. Not to me anyway. For one thing, he is so big and not exactly the most graceful guy in the world. Anyway I hated the ending, and thought they could have done a much better job there. They even had a better idea, that made more sense, but said it was too "cliched".......when I think the one they actually used was also a bit of a cliche AND also didn't fit with what was going on there. So I agree, and it kind of ruined it for me as well.

There had to be a way for him to sneak in or something because I remember saying "You know he's gonna pop up in the backseat"...

Oh I was expecting it to happen once she drove away, it HAD to.....:p but it still doesn't explain how he got there. Or was able to completely surprise her by the fact. I mean this is a pretty big guy with a chainsaw, even if it is dark, you notice something like that....lol.

That's because you have magical powers. I honestly loved this film, I could watch it over and over, the ending imo was great. My favorite part has to be when the family is at the dinner table . and R. Lee Ermey is giving the speach as to how the family will be remembered. Gives me the cold chills, the soundtrack to it was as well GREAT!

Yeah...She was like the ONLY person who didn't know that he was in the backseat...hahaha

dont forget spoiler warnings.

yeah, i havent seen it yet. Oh well, i would've found out anyway. But american maniac, someone could've survived. What'shername from the first one did and they made 3 more films after that. I wonder what ever happened to her.

On another note, i watched the 4th one the other night. Absolute, bollocks. They NEVER should've killed off cook or grandpa. And i don't remember the brother in the first one dying either...

He was already in the back of the car.......She was so fucked up with mad terror she THOUGHT she saw him elsewhere....











Or maybe not.

Headcheese is goooooooood!:D

All I have to say now is to the person that said this should be in modern movie forum: I knew that, but I hardly ever go there. I figured maybe some other people hardly go there either.

Oh yea & to the dude that hadn't seen it: I thought I would be the last person here to see it. Sorry. My bad.

I liked this film all the way til the end.I know it had to end the way it did casue it's supposed to be the first but it still left me feeling empty inside.Still love the first one though.

i also thought the movie was great. I expected alot of blood and gore and some fun humor from the sheriff. The ending didn't really kill it for me.

The family is always in a different location with each sequel. In the prequel they live in the same place as the Remake, so a survivor could have had them caught.

fair enough

This started off kinda cheesy but it turned into a monster. I really dug it.

Are you saying they were never caught because they kept moving house?

Well they hadn't been caught yet and in each movie there was a survivor and they were in a different location.

I really liked it when I first saw it at the theatre. Then I bought the DVD and watched it again and it didn't do much for me. There were a lot of "gotcha scenes" I thought the first time so it didn't surprise me the 2nd time. Good to have for the collection though.

i like the way leatherface isn't some agile, clever, fearless hunter. He's an obese dude with a chainsaw who get's bullied. Although, be the forth film, i thought the whole transvestite and high pitched scream got a bit weird...

Sure this one had its moments... :eek:

...but as this is a prequel to a remake of TCM, one can't help but compare. Well, the remake had its moments, too. For me it boils down to the simple fact that they completely missed the point. This one being some kind of explanation of the origins of TCM and especially Leatherface, it's ridiculous at best.

Yet forgetting all about the TCM-angle, this is OK. :cool:

Hows it so ridiculous, what do you think the origins are then?

Me?
Loved it...
One of the few horror DVDs (yeah, right) that I bought last year.
As you know (or not) I work with film all the time, watching new releases and such...
This made an impact...
I liked it...:D
Argue all you want, it was suppose to be a prequel...
How the hell would someone escape from 'that' and the police wouldn't find them? Hmmmm?

I'm going along with AngelDust...I really liked this movie...Seriously, it was great...Much better than I expected and WAY better than ...umm...I forgot what that one was called, but it was the one where the guy operated his leg with a remote control...'Generations', Maybe?

Any film staring R. Lee Ermey is the shit.
Seriously though, I thought it was great. Gotta love a crazy gore fest. ;)

Hail Bill Hicks and R . Lee Ermey! Hail. illdojo, we should be friends!

I want a smoke now.

Disease, we already are bro. :cool:
Hicks is my Idol.
He's just another dead hero. :(

Nah, but I mean like we should smoke cigarets together and quote Bill hicks and stuff.....:D

Hello, Disease.

On TCM itself, outsiders intruding upon their lives when they're keeping to themselves, and they deal with it in the only way them slaughterhouse workers know best to do. On Leatherface, along the lines of maintaining some kind of female figure in the family, however dysfunctional they seem to be. He was originally a very confused yet sensitive and vulnerable monster. The fact that they then wrote this re-imagining of Leatherface as having deeply rooted viciousness and malevolence because of his deformity, to me misses the original's point. As a remake prequel, it's not even remotely creative. Gruesome, sure.

Leatherface is sexually frustrated.:)

Yeah, but's it's a prequal to the re=make, not the origanal.

Dude, I wish i had the jack to travel to Melbourne or Glasgow.

So, ****Smoking****

I smoke. If this bothers anyone, I suggest you look around at the world in which we live and shut your fuckin' mouth.
