A decade ago today...


A decade ago, on October 6, 2006, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning was released. What are your thoughts on this prequel after ten years?

It's my favorite out of the entire franchise. It's airing again on Syfy on the 12th! I can't wait! I hate that they took out some scenes from the TV version.

Just watched it again, it still holds up. Can't believe its been ten years already. I remember seeing this in theater.

Very well done prequel imo. This one gets a lot of unwanted hate, and it's my 2nd favorite in the series after the original.

I liked both the 2003 movie and this one very much. My question is Why did the series just all of a sudden stop until 2013 with the underwhelming TCM 3D? I thought they had it going really, really well with TCM 2003 and this one The Beginning? I don't understand how they just said Ok, we'll stop with these now and come back in 7 years.

reply

I think they stopped because New Line lost the rights to the series not to long after this film was released. Plus, I don't think there was much demand for another film to be made in the Hewitt series. I would, however, have loved to have seen another film set after this as well.

It's arguably the second/third best in the entire franchise after the 2003 remake and/or original.
