Texas Chainsaw Massacre IV

                                                                    

 

  The crime scene was not properly secured by Travis County Police. Two investigating  

        officers were fatally wounded that day. This is the only known image of

                     Thomas Hewitt, the man they call Leatherface

 

 This movie, which is a semi-remake of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre; is about a group of teenagers on prom night who decide to leave early and get into a car accident. They end up at an insurance office in the middle of nowhere, and meet up with a seemingly normal woman who offers to have her husband tow their car. Unfortunately for the teens, this woman is married to a psychopath named Vilmer whose brother is the legendary serial killer Leatherface. The teens are taken to a secluded, old farmhouse where the previously cannibalistic family of the earlier films live.

Texas, 1939: A slaughterhouse meatpacker collapses at work and dies while delivering a deformed baby. Later, a woman picking through the trash for edible scraps finds the unfortunate infant wrapped in brown paper and brings him home. A montage of fading photos, newspaper clippings and doctors' reports fills in the next 29 years: The cast-off child, Tommy Hewitt, is not only deformed but prone to outbursts of rage and self-mutilation, and eventually goes to work at the slaughterhouse with his adoptive father. 1969: The slaughterhouse is about to close and the town around it has already withered and just about died. Only the Hewitt's — mother Luda Mae (Marietta Marich), her husband (R. Lee Ermey), Uncle Monty (Terrence Evans) and Tommy (Andrew Bryniarski) — remain, rattling around a huge, rundown house in the middle of nowhere's nowhere.

Tommy murders his nasty boss (Tim De Zarn) and the local sheriff thoughtfully picks up Tommy's stepdad so Tommy's arrest can be as civilized as possible; Tommy's stepdad responds by killing him and stealing his identity — Sheriff Hoyt. Meanwhile, four young people are on a collision course with their gory destinies: Eric (Matt Bomer) is en route to a second tour of duty in Vietnam, accompanied by little brother Dean (Taylor Handley), who's just been called up. Unbeknownst to Eric and his wife, Chrissie (Jordana Brewster), Dean and his girlfriend, Bailey (Diora Baird), instead intend to flee across the border to Mexico. But after a run-in with local bikers Holden and Alex (Lee Tergesen, Cyia Batten), they wind up in "Sheriff Hoyt"'s patrol car, and thence to the house of horrors. Who will survive and what will be left of them?....
