Starts
with the premise that the original Chainsaw Massacre
actually happened. It didn't. But...
On August 20th 1973, police were dispatched to the remote
farmhouse of Thomas Hewitt, a former head-skinner at
a local slaughterhouse in Travis County, Texas. What
they found within the confines of his cryptic residence
was the butchered remains of 33 victims, a chilling
discovery that shocked and horrified a nation in what
many still call the most gruesome mass murder case of
all time. Brandishing a chainsaw and wearing the grotesque
flesh masks of his victims, the killer became forever
known as "Leatherface" when sensational headlines
were splashed across newspapers throughout the state
of Texas: "House of Horrors Stuns Nation - Massacre
in Texas." Police and FBI eventually gunned down
a man wearing a leathery mask and declared they had
their killer and abruptly closed the case. However,
in the years that followed, many close to the grisly
murder case would come forward to level accusations
that police had botched the investigation and knowingly
killed the wrong man. Now, for the first time, the only
known survivor of the killing spree has broken the silence
and come forward to tell the real story of what happened
on that deserted rural Texas highway when a group of
five young kids inadvertently found themselves besieged
by a chainsaw wielding madman who would leave a trail
of blood and terror that would forever be known as The
Texas Chainsaw Massacre. |

Is
this a cut above or a cut below the classic gore/horror
slasher flick? |
