Plot Summary
In 1939, a worker has an abortion while working in a slaughterhouse and dies. The deformed baby is dumped in a garbage container and found by a beggar who brings him home. Along the years, the freak creature called Thomas is raised by the Hewitt family, working at a meat plant. In 1969, when the facility gets close down, deformed insane Thomas kills the foreman. His deranged stepfather executes the sheriff that is going to arrest Thomas, and assumes his identity and entitling himself as Sheriff Hoyt. Meanwhile, the brothers Eric (Matthew Bomer - "Flightplan") and Dean (Taylor Handley - "Zerophilia") are traveling in a Jeep with their girlfriends Christie (Jordana Brewster - "The Fast and the Furious") and Bailey (Diora Baird - "Wedding Crashers"). When the group has a car accident, Hoyt arrests Eric, Dean and Bailey and brings them to his house. Christie follows them trying to rescue the trio, trapped in the house of sadistic and insane cannibals, in a trip of horror and gore.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Attention sadists: Demand more from your gorefests than this pro forma return to the well. Has mass murder ever been this dull?
Rotten: Apart from reviving the original Massacre's pervasive sense of Nixon-era malaise, it doesn't offer much in the way of satisfying origins.
Rotten: All you need to know about the character is he's really crazy and carries a chain saw. And he's got an even crazier uncle who all but steals the film.
Rotten: Jonathan Liebesman's prequel to Tobe Hooper's 1974 horror classic is just another trip down a very dusty road.
Customer Reviews
Just ok
This movie wasnt the best but i kept u wanting to see it to the end. i think that the 2003 remake was way better then this one. in this movie there wasnt a lot of action like in the 2003 remake, it was all about the main girl traped in the house trying to find her freinds and i thought i was kinda boring at points. If i didnt like the cast so much i would have only given it 2 stars. so if i were u i would only rent this but you should buy the 2003 remake it was great!
Big Thanks iTunes!!!!!!!
