Trailer Bulletin: Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
by Scott Weinberg | June 07, 2006
Discuss Article
If you're not a hardcore horror fan, this could get a little confusing: In the beginning there was Tobe Hooper's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and it was good. It was followed by sequels (of varying quality) in 1986, 1990, and 1994. Then came the remake, and that, too, was surprisingly good. And NOW comes a prequel to the remake, the trailer for which you can only watch after 10pm ... cuz it's spooooooky.

"On one last road trip before they're sent to serve in Vietnam, two friends and their girlfriends get into an accident that calls their local sheriff to the scene. Thus begins a terrifying experience where the teens are taken to a secluded house of horrors, where a young, would-be killer is being nurtured."

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning," starring Jordana Brewster, Matthew Bomer, Taylor Handley, Diora Baird, R. Lee Ermey, and (of course) Andrew Bryniarski, opens on October 6th. It's directed by Jonathan Liebesman ("Darkness Falls") and written by Sheldon Turner ("The Longest Yard") and David Schow ("The Crow").

There it is for people who don't feel like staying up for a horrible trailer. This movie looks laughable, it has all the cliches when something tries to be "disturbing", which is no suprise because Michael Bay is involved.

Can't we just leave the franchise alone?

Just change the time on your computer and you can watch the trailer any time you want.

I thought the remake was alright. This will probably be about the same.

Jordana Brewster and the dinner table scene is a winning combo.
