He didn't just kill the Sheriff... he killed the whole Damn Police Force Lol! The Dark Comedy was on point in this Movie
lol
"😮...YOU BLASPHEMOUS BITCH!"
This movie has it's problems, but still better than Texas chainsaw 3D. "Do your thing Cuz!" lmao
Get diggy with it. What problems for God sake ?! This movie is amazing, great cast, cinematography, directing, everything
@@danran1157 This film is better than the actual remake that it precedes.
@@FlyboyHelosim lmao no way
@@FlyboyHelosim I agree. I saw this in the theaters in 2006 before seeing the 2003 remake. It shocked the hell out of me.
I love this film. I actually like it just as much as the remake. Love the characters, love the gore and I thought it was a great origin story in showing how Leatherface came to be.
+BoogeyMan Ben I like it but the remake is way better for me
I absolutely love the texas chainsaw massacre the beginning. It is one of my favorite of the franchise. It's definitely in top 5 for sure
Jessica Kugler dude there are only like 7 movies lol
Lol
If it’s one of your favorite in the franchise then obviously it’s in your top 5 as there was only 8 tcm movies out when you made this comment...
i agree with you the 2003 is also my favorite in the franchise. the beginning i thought was a decent prequel. i just thought they should of continued after the 2003 film with the Hewitt storyline and what happened with him. the cinematography in the 2003 remake is possibly my favorite in cinema history. combination of the look and how the shots were set up. the beginning i felt kept that same look as the 2003 which is one of the things i liked about that.
The new beginning is probably the best in the franchise I love the gore the story fits in better than 2003 remake Hoyt is crazier and Leatherface is just a badass in this it was so fucked up when he killed Dean the way he did and when he scalped the guy's face and put it on his fucking insane that's why I love the Texas Chainsaw series one of my favorite horror movies of all time is the new beginning for sure
I love the texas chainsaw massacre the beginning I wach it evry week 😉
Dean was the blonde guy (his brother)
Cody Leach, I just now discovered you with your Leatherface review. Then spent 3 hours during a drive enjoying the hell out of your reviews and rankings. I admire your passion for the horror genre. Keep them coming!
+Jayson Prouty Thanks a lot man
Can you do a review on the “the hills have eyes” movies
good idea
@brett linthicum Do you have to be an asshole about it? Calm yourself, boy. He didn't know that. He was just making a simple request.
@brett linthicum asshole
@@MisterUnknown707 ？
@@packersfan8876 I was replying to an asshole. He deleted his comment.
One thing I really liked about this film, is that it's one of the rare mid 2000's horror films where all the acting is solid.
I like this prequel, but I have problems with it
futurefilmmaker 39480 Same with me and 2017s Leatherface.
i hate scary movies with hopelessness. i wish d or chrissy survived plus the ending pissed me off. but i guess it’s not terrible since it’s a prequel
I thought this was pretty good film but The 2003 remake is better the only thing that was done better is the violence it is a lot more violent in my opinion B+.
Nah it was better than the remake. Better scares and kills. The characters aren't as dumb and the directing is tighter. They only thing better about the 2003 was Alba's butt
@@rob5541 Nope.
@@MisterUnknown707 good argument. That you go to for troll hunting lol.
@@rob5541 it's Jessica Biel's ass, learn your asses
@@rob5541 Alba? You mean Biel?
I loved that they showed how the grandpa lost his legs and how the sherriff lost his teeth! I wasnt expecting them to answer that and I got excited when they threw it in haha
That's one of the things I didn't like. It's like they felt that all the minutia of the 2003 film needed an introduction. Like, what are the odds that Ermey's "sheriff" lost his teeth just 4 years earlier (entirely possible, I know, but who cares about that detail)? And wouldn't it have been creepier if he _really was_ the sheriff, like this sparsely populated county in central Texas is so provincial and inbred that this sadist is the appointed keeper of the law here? I also think it would have been more believable and interesting if the uncle (?) had lost his legs in either WWII or the Korean War. I know Ermey appeals to Leatherface to do the deed, but it doesn't even seem in alignment with Leatherface's character to deliberately harm his own kin like that. Just my two cents but I respect your opinion.
@@spinecraft1356 I respect your opinion as well and I normally feel that ambiguity is better than showing everything, I just thought it was a fun little detail. I agree with you said as well though!
I'm one of the passionate ones. This is my favorite of the franchise.
Maurice Tha Beast Vlogz same here
Agreed. The remake itself is pretty trash, and don't even get me started on the Leatherface film.
@@FlyboyHelosim If man what a disappointment that Leatherface film was.
@@NativeWrestler Yeah it's basically got nothing to do with the franchise at all and is just a generic horror film which bastardized the Leatherface name.
The Beginning is also my favorite one. I see many people hate Leatherface the movie but I actually like it as a standalone movie :-)
Thank you for finally getting this out! I wished you would of reviewed the movie more instead of the fact that it's a prequel but it's your view... Alot of the "Prequel" stuff is minute like you said and as for someone who saw this first (and didn't really like the Remake alot) before the Remake I thought the movie can be viewed by itself and make sense.. Monty gets one of his legs cut off because he was shot and the other leg because Thomas knicked his 2nd leg LMAO!
I totally agree with that Push- up scene as well! Perfection! Also That scene where Eric saves his brother and Eric is talking Down to Hoyt and he doesn't do anything because he relies on Thomas or When Chrissie is in the basement with Eric When he's tied down and they connect that scene back to the beginning where Eric is trying to calm Chrissie Down so she can get out because he knows he going to die... Gives me Chills everytime but it Did take a few viewings for me to catch up on
People can say what they want about these movies, they obviously don’t compare to the original classic but R. Lee Ermey’s performance alone is a classic.
I think this is the second best in the franchise only behind the remake! Absolutely love it, so damn brutal, leatherface is scary as hell my favorite look of him as well. I do wish Brewster lived because no way in hell she wouldnt see him in the back seat
Dude you're the only reviewer I've watched that gets Andrew's name right!
Well that's awesome lol
OMG! You read my mind! I had my fingers crossed that you would review this!
my favorite movies in texas chainsaw massacre franchise are the begging and the 2003 remake
Tanner Walters agreed!!
Tanner Walters same, agreed!
None of you are true fans. Sad.
What about the original?
Really liked the intro to this review
This is my favorite Texas Chainsaw Movie and i'm glad you reviewed it
+Dark Shadow Fox Thank you

Love the vids! Keep them up legend!!
Welcome to the madness
Really good until the ending, totally ridiculous. How the hell he get in the car, and how did she not know a big smelly dude was in the car?
True, stuff like that annoys me a bit
I liked this one too. I HATED the ending. I was like dammit!!!
Yeah bro..... Ending really su©ks but movie is very good
@@harsh_kay8840I seen it coming, of course she was going to die, if she made it out and alerted the police then the events of the 2003 movie never would’ve happened
"Thanks to the good sheriff here we ain't never gonna starve again."
This is the best one after the 1974 version. So much better than the TCM 3D and Leatherface abominations.
You must be on crack.
@@GetToDaChoppa-k5r lol
*stares at 2003 remake* 🤪
This was the first movie in the franchise that I watched (Now I've seen all of them). Honestly if I were to make a ranking of the franchise this would land right in the middle. It's good and I do consider it to be better than the 2003 remake just because it isn't as slow tedious to watch in my opinion.
Sweet one step closer to the TCM ranking can't wait keep em coming Cody!!
Honestly, I think the remake is better than the prequel and 3D one combined!
I'd agree
This is one of my favorite Texas Chainsaw movies. R Lee Ermey again steals the show, and Leatherface is good as well. I think there should be a movie based solely around R Lee Ermey/Sheriff Hoyt. The movie is brutal, graphic, and holds nothing back with gore. It's what I think a TCM movie should be: uncomfortable. In general, I like how they explain the origins for things in the remake. The one thing that doesn't make sense is Monty losing his legs. He was shot in one leg, so Hoyt and Leatherface decide to amputate BOTH of his legs, presumably to prevent infection or something. However, Leatherface amputates them using the chainsaw that he JUST USED to saw a guy in half. He doesn't clean it off or anything. That would cause more infection issues than anything. Besides that, I love The Beginning. It's my 3rd or 4th favorite movie behind the '74 and '03 movies and tied with TCM2.
Coolest thing about this one no survivors, no Friday films, Halloween or Nightmare films had that.
I think it's one of the better Texas chainsaw movies
Nice review man, I enjoyed this one maybe a little more than you but definitely not as much as 2003's remake. But I honestly think it's one of the greatest prequels you could get. People might hate me for saying this, but I prefer these 2 installments over the rest of the franchise. The original and Tcm 2 were good for the time but now they honestly just feel dated at this point. Especially when you compare them to the remake and The Beginning.
I don't enjoy TCM movies personally, but I love watching these videos, because they sum the movie up well.
This is my favourite out of the Texas chainsaw massacre movies because I’m a gore hound and has my favourite version of leather face
I actually prefer this over the 2003 one... Although I really loved that one too!
My favorite scene is when leatherface saw the biker gang member in half. 😀👍
Now this is the 1st movie of the series that i watched! Juat finished (told these other comments before seeing it) and i gotta say that i'm impressed! I think they did a really good job with explaining how Leatherface got to be in a cannibal family, Sherrif Hoyth etc. I really love how they nailed the 60/70's atmosphere, you really feel that, and that the movie focuses more on Thomas than Leatherface.... How he got his first mask and acctually seeing him making it, some really strong amount of gore, carnage, and the characters were really likable, wven if they wwre definetly not the best i saw! Amd i liked that whole interaction between them, keeps thing simple like "Soldiers in Vietnam" and u think the acting is really amazing! But, as you said, it's just an origin story, but one that is VERY well done! I really need to see the remake, i hear a lot of positive feedback on it, but i think that, even if i didn't saw both, give the edge to the very original! Overall, pretty good movie that awnsers some questions and makes sense, some likeable characters but that's pretty much it! My main focus are this one, the remake and the original (and maybe Leatherface 2017)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning is a mediocre Horror Movie. Don't get me wrong the Gore, the Kills and the overall Violence in that one is great. Even better than in the Remake. But the problem that this movie has is that its screenplay is completely lacking of substance.
The great R. Lee Ermey brings a solid performance and he gives some points to the film.The movie bored me through some time and that's a big problem.The characters are all clichés. I don't give a shit about anyone of the characters in this film.
The film really fails to capitalize on its prequel nature too. Leatherface is already a killer at the beginning of the film, Sheriff Hoyt doesn't take very long to start killing either, and the rest of the family just happily follows along. So, these people are just nuts or what?! And the ending of the movie is just terrible.
In a nutshell, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning is just OK for me.
This was a rare case where the prequel was better than the main film it precedes.
The TCM remake was very gory for its time. Not only was it bloody but you felt the kills (especially the nails on the wall). But movies released after like Hostel, High Tension and Saw really upped the gore factor.
Really enjoy your reviews. Your descriptive terminology and observational critique are great. Your opinions are well backed up. New subscriber here.
Dude.
You nailed it again.
Agreed with everything you said.
It is a badass movie the best in the franchise
thank you for doing these reviews, I believe this and the 2003 remake are underrated . they are a really good horror movies
Awesome intro Cody and awesome video!
Awesome review! Btw where you get that shirt dude x-files always been one of my top favorite shows!
Still my favorite TCM movie. This is the only one that delivered 100% on the gore only hinted at in earler installments, but also kept the super dark mood and tone of the 2003 remake without going even slightly campy. Ermey was incredible. You just wanted to beat his little head in.
Nailed it down for me. keep it comin dude, doin well
This is probably the most disturbing movie I ever experienced in the theatre.
A great prequel to the remake, but I like the remake more. Maybe because we know there's someone to root for whereas we know there's nobody making it out of this one alive.
It is scary.
These are the best Texas chainsaw movies for me. The most well paced.
My biggest problem with fun prequel is the main protagonist girl. She is one of the worst final girls ever. WHO THE FUCK INSULT THE FAMILY OF A PSYCHO CANIBAL MURDER WHEN THEY JUST KILLED ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS
Are you going to review the abomination that is named "Texas Chainsaw 3D"?
Well it is part of the franchise so unfortunately...but is Texas Chainsaw 3D worse than TCM IV?
DS_Soundwave Yes it is!!!
how is "Texas Chainsaw 3D" an abomination?
DS_Soundwave for me, not! Texas Chainsaw 3D is a abomination, but Texas Chainsaw Massacre Next Generation is one of the worst horror movies, wven movies i ever saw! I defend a lot of movies and video-games, but that is just..... SHIT!
I loved Texas Chainsaw tbh. Super cheesy and old school and filled with nods to the first
Great review Cody! I enjoyed this film but I do like the 2003 remake better. I want to see a new plot besides a group of people breaking down. It was too similar to the remake I thought
I have to rewatch this again. It's been a long time but hearing your review brought back some things. Im with you, it definitely wasn't as memorable as the 2003 remake.
I saw this movie on FX when I was just 13 years old and it honestly just…confused me. It didn’t scare me, it didn’t gross me out, it just confused me. The whole time I was asking myself “what exactly is the point here? What did I learn from this???” Because there’s nothing important that was explained. All we get is how leatherface got his chainsaw and first mask, how Uncle Monty lost his legs, how the “sheriff” got his clothes… that’s it. So what was the purpose of the movie aside from making money???
I did wonder how the sheriff lost his teeth, so the fact that it answered that worked for me, also how the uncle lost his legs, I absolutely did wonder how he had lost his legs from watchin the 2003 remake, so to have that shown in this movie was awsome. So I do think this movie was way better than I expected because it touched on even smaller details from the first.
My biggest thumbs up for this movie has to be the score , the music to this movie especially opening credits still makes my spine tingle, one of my favourite horror movie scores
I need to re-watch this one.... my biggest curiosity is why the family name change?
Just to separate it I guess
It's definitely an enjoyable watch, and I like it more than I should. But, more R. Lee Ermy is always a good thing. I was actually a little surprised they answered all these small questions but left out the hitchhiker from the remake. All in all a fun watch, heightened a little more if you marathon it with the remake
Jack Grimson it takes place years before the remake
the beginning was really good tho!! i think 2003 and this one and 1974 were the best ones
I really enjoyed this movie for being a pretty good prequel and I enjoyed the little bit of dark comedy added In.
This was the first one I watched so I'm biased towards liking it more than the rest.
I remember going to blockbuster with my dad and him picking this movie for us for a movie night when my mom worked nights, we watched this on our old ass big box flat screen and I sat right in front of the tv and this movie scared me shitless and gave me night mares and didn’t let me sleep and I loved it lol this what introduced me to leatherface and I been a fan every since definitely one of my favorites of the whole franchise just because of thst
I really want the old classics reviews. The exorcist/Omen act but cannot afford to pay the dude haha
Can you review Hostel 1 and 2 plz?? Keep up the awesome work!
Saw this in the theater and loved it.
Finally got around to watching it.....and it's a solid horror flick. Having good villains can really carry a movie and that's what R. Lee Ermey and Andrew Bryniarski did here. They were both awesome!
Definitely agree about it feeling a bit "rushed". It didn't feel so much like an origins story as much as it did just another rehash of the 1974 and 2003 versions where they skipped over a couple of decades and fast-forwarded right to their go-to formula - young adults getting lost in the Texas countryside and getting butchered by Leatherface.
Still had fun with it though.
The ending for this movie pissed me off tbh haha
Eric Hernandez me too, never made sense to me how leatherface got to the car before she did and how she didn’t see his big ass body in the backseat. Or hear his breathing or feel his presence. I like that they didn’t let any survivors like they usually do, but how they killed her was stupid.
If i was that girl in this Film i would Knock him out with a baseball Bat
😂😂😂😂 Me too
I wasn’t a fan of this one, it just felt grotesque to me and I think it lost the slasher feel of 2003.
This is my favourite movie In the franchise
The 2003 remake and this one are the best in the franchise
This one is near and dear to my heart because I had the basic cable growing up and they would always play this on mtv so I loved watching it. It was so gory even for tv and I loved that so much. The 2003 remake is better but this one is sufficient in my opinion.
This one is my favourite in the whole series. It's dark, gritty and has seriously good kill scenes.
I also absolutely love the fact that instead of the characters being picked off one by one, they are all aware of the danger early on so the tension for them is there and builds more and more as they try to figure ways out of the situation, keeping the momentum building.
I also just feel the flow of the film really works, pacing was great and I felt genuinely interested in both the family and the protagonists.
Totally agree with you on this one Cody. It's ok. It's a good one for the gore hounds, and it's an ok movie. It was made at the time when movies like Saw and Hostel were good box office, which definately had an influence on this one. It's big positive is that you can watch this, and then watch the remake straight after and it's seamless.
love the worst to best and reviews and please rank the texas chainsaw masscre series. ALSO FOR ME I LOVE THIS MOVIE BUT I DID'NT get what made the movie class but the movie is decent anyway my favourite horror movie in the world . nice review recpect your opinion
keep on leach love to hear you preach
Fuck yeah. Put that on a t-shirt
Finally a good prequel, that shows a credible past without giving too much away? Btw, is Hannibal Rising worth bothering?
This is by far the best one
@TheDestroyer2alltrolls Nice Joke
This movie was ok, I didn't enjoy it enough to buy it, but it's entertaining
I like it more because i love prequels in general, in general! And i feel like it feels more like the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and they did a lot of things good to make it feel like the 2003's movie!
I love how at the beginning you did sign language and how in movies like this you give them the middle finger
Awesome shirt
Cody do you think watching TCM the beginning before the 2003 remake is a good idea or will it not make sense in that order?
I think the ending of The Beginning wouldn't work as well that way.
@@CodyLeachYT cool. Thanks
I think this movie felt like the 1974 version and the 2003 remake got melted together and this was the result. It was super unoriganal
Loved the 2003 and when I heard about the prequel my fingered where crossed that it would have the same feel....it it!!
+Bo Shrek Yeah I love the shared tone and feel
The sherrif was funny asf in the movie.

This prequel actually makes sense compared to Leatherface 2017, but i don't hate L 2017, The Beginning is in my top 3 from the series! These are original, remake, and prequel to remake!
About 30 mins into it
there's a scene in where the old lady is cleaning the blonde girls face and her face goes from being bloody to completely clean and then back to bloody again
Also the ending suuuuuucccckkkedd
I thought this was a pretty awesome movie!! The gore and violence and terror is spot on!!! I actually appreciated the story of how the uncle lost his legs, but didn’t really care about the sherriff’s teeth.
Thanks for this review, I think this Texas chainsaw massacre movie is #1 on my list
What happened about the sawyer family? That’s not a thing anymore or what?
Why didn’t they continue with the story after these two movies ? I thought they expanded on the remake but whatevs , RIP Hiewetts
Also, Uncle Monty would disagree that losing both of his legs counts as a minute detail lol
I like the 2003 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre I thought it was a little better than the prequel
I actually preferred this over the remake when I first saw it, mainly because it feels more like the original (formation dinner scene) but as time has went on i've realised the remake is quite a lot better
Connor Rodgerson I feel you but i disagree
The push up scene , the dinner ,the sherif and the scariest looking leatherface out of all ,tops the remake for me
And man that ending is fucking awesome
Like leather faces look especially in the beginning of this film best.
Good stuff man
The beginning was a big step down from the excellent remake they did. I loved the return of Sheriff Hoyt and the demented Sawyer family but it was a bit of a mess of a film and very forgettable. I don't understand the fandom of this instalment and wasn't aware it had any. Oh, well each to their own.
This was just put on Netflix here in Canada so I watched it again. Skipped through posts of it that were slow out angling, and was furious at the characters for making dumb decisions. But it wasnt bad. Good gore. I like the 2003 one better though. 6/10
People like the 03 remake. I remember it was HAAAAAATEEEEEEDDDD, so hard for a long time during the 2000's, people laughed when you mentioned it, might have to try it again. Love the gore. 2nd favorite behind the OG movie
Personally, I really enjoyed this film. I LOVE the original but I also rate the remake and the prequel just as highly, albeit for slightly different reasons.
I don't understand the really poor reviews that the critics give this installment on the mainstream websites. To be honest, I don't think that they actually 'get' the TCM franchise.
What makes the franchise scary for me, is that there is the possibilty of this actually happening. I love the fact that these two films lay down the history of the Hewitt family in butchery and livestock, this makes MASSIVE sense to me.
I think the cinematorgraphy is solid and I love the fact that *spoiler* nobody survives this particular movie (it makes sense).
Leatherface is perfectly represented in the sense that he is brutish, driven and an immovable force. I also believe that when he is pictured wearing his latest mask (Eric), his character looks more disturbing that in any other movie in the francise.
I love this film because the characters enforce their virtues throughout without reward. This, for me, is the true horror of the potential of running into a family like the Hewitt / Sawyer / Slaughter.
