Storyline

complicated labor, though the deformed child survives. The possibly orphaned baby is
dumped in a garbage container and found by a beggar later, who brings him home. Along the
years, the mentally retarded and disturbed boy called Thomas is raised by the Hewitt family
in spite of having psychological problems as well as suffering from an unnamed skin disorder,
later working in a meat packing plant. In July, 1969, when the facility is closed, the
inhabitants move to other places, but the deformed, mentally childlike Thomas flies into a
rage after being insulted and kills the foreman. His deranged brother (considered his uncle
due to their age difference) executes the sheriff that is going to arrest Thomas, and assumes
his identity, wearing his clothes,driving his car though the roads in Texas and entitling himself
as Sheriff Hoyt. Meanwhile, the brothers Eric and Dean are traveling in a Jeep with...

The Ugliest Thing Ever Seen
30 August 2007 | by Claudio Carvalho (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) See all my reviews
In August, 1939, a worker has an abortion while working in a slaughterhouse and dies. The deformed baby is dumped in a garbage container
and found by a beggar later, who brings him home. Along the years, the freak creature called Thomas is raised by the Hewitt family in spite of
having psychological problems, working in a meat plant. In July, 1969, when the facility is closed, the inhabitants move to other places, but
the deformed insane Thomas kills the foreman. His deranged stepfather executes the sheriff that is going to arrest Thomas, and assumes his
identity, wearing his clothes, driving his car though the roads in Texas and entitling himself as Sheriff Hoyt (R. Lee Ermey). Meanwhile, the
brothers Eric (Matt Bomer) and Dean (Taylor Handley) are traveling in a Jeep with their girlfriends Christie (Jordana Brewster) and Bailey
(Diora Baird), Eric to serve in Vietnam and Dean escaping to Mexico. When the group has a car accident, Hoyt arrests Eric, Dean and Bailey
and brings them to his house. Christie follows them trying to rescue the trio, trapped in the house of sadistic and insane cannibals, in a trip of
horror and gore.
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" is a great prequel to the classic "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". The story gives a good
explanation to the origins of Leatherface, "the ugliest thing ever seen", and the movie is extremely violent and gore, with touches of
surrealism. R. Lee Ermey has a great performance in the role of the deranged leader of the Hewitt Family. I had a very low expectation with
this film and in the end I had a very pleasant surprise. My vote is eight.
