Bear witness to the birth of the most horrifying legend in the history of cinema as director
Jonathan Liebesman explores the nightmarish origins of the psychotic Hewitt family in this sequel to director
Marcus Nispel's 2003 hit
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The year is 1969, and despite the fact that the Vietnam War is raging halfway across the globe, all is ominously quiet on the back roads of America. Eighteen-year-old
Dean Hill (
Taylor Handley) has just received his draft notice, and his older brother,
Eric (
Matthew Bomer), is determined to watch out for his younger sibling by ensuring that
Dean enroll in the Marine Corps rather than risking his luck at the local induction center.
Dean has other plans, though, and as soon as the pair and their girlfriends,
Bailey (
Diora Baird) and
Chrissie (
Jordana Brewster), return from their final fling in sunny Texas, he plans to confront his brother with the prospect of dodging the draft. When an unsettling encounter with malevolent bikers
Holden (
Lee Tergesen) and
Alex (
Cyia Batten) results in a serious car accident in which
Chrissie is thrown from the vehicle, the arrival of
Sheriff Hoyt (
R. Lee Ermey) at first appears to be a moment of divine intervention. However, when
Sheriff Hoyt murders thieving
Alex in cold blood and then shepherds her friends into the back of his police cruiser as
Chrissie watches from the brush, their momentary reprieve soon gives way to an unimaginable terror. As
Hoyt transports her ailing friends to the Hewitt home, where a childlike man named
Thomas is currently undergoing the transformation into cannibalistic madman
Leatherface (
Andrew Bryniarski), a desperate
Chrissie attempts to enlist the aid of
Holden in rescuing her friends from a fate worse than death. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
