The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning WOOf! 2006 (R)

Ugly is okay, ugly and dull is not. Contrary to what the title suggests, this is a prequel to the 2003 remake, although it provides flashbacks to Leatherface's origins, which include being born, hideously deformed, in a slaughterhouse. Ermey reprises his role as psycho cop/cannibal Hoyt, who becomes proud papa to his newly adopted gutter-child. As usual, a group of oversexed teens are offered up for bloody sacrifice. With its unrelenting gore and sadism, flick's not for the squeamish. 84m/C DVD . US Jordana Brewster, R. Lee Ermey, Andrew Bryniarski, Diora Baird, Taylor Handley, Matt Bomer, Lee Tergesen, Lew Temple; D: Jonathan Liebesman; W: Sheldon Turner; C: Lukas Ettlin; M: Steve Jablonsky.
