September 22, 2006: . . . And There Was A Lot Of Screaming

I spent the evening at the Alamo Draft House, which is holding the "Fantastic Fest 2006" this week. Tonight was the sneak preview of the prequel to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.

Good film. No, I'm not going to give any spoilers at all. Yes, there were screams from the audience. Those of you who liked the original story, in either the original version or the 2003 remake, should go see it when it opens, and don't let anybody talk to you about the ending. Those who found the originals too intense . . . well, director Jonathan Liebesman didn't hold anything back in this prequel. Nothing. You've been warned.
