Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (18)

Oct 20 2006 By Graham Young, Birmingham Mail

OPENING merely as a franchise expander, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning comes armed with the year's most visceral violence.

The wince factor is sky-high, yet the film has little dramatic tension given its placing in the series.

Only in a movie like this could have some choice lines to lighten the load. Did you, for example, know that "a clean goat is a happy goat", or that "meat is meat, bone's bone"?

You'll have to see the context, though, to appreciate the line: "Don't step on my fingers"
