Top Critics Reviews

Gross and sadistic but never scary.

Oppressive, mean-spirited and sadistic, The Beginning is an unsavoury exercise in cruelty and pain that one hopes will also be the end.

Attention sadists: Demand more from your gorefests than this pro forma return to the well. Has mass murder ever been this dull?

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning relies on made-you-jump shocks and more fake entrails than a Jaycees haunted house.
