The premise
Chrissie and her friends set out on a road trip for a final fling before one is shipped off to Vietnam. Along the way, bikers harass the foursome and cause an accident that throws Chrissie from the vehicle. The lawman who arrives on the scene kills one of the bikers and brings Chrissie's friends to the Hewitt homestead, where young Leatherface is learning the tools of terror.
Horror Vault's take
Set in the late 1960s, this prequel to the iconic franchise pulls back the curtain on how Leatherface and the murderous Hewitt family became the stuff of nightmares. When a group of young friends embarks on a last road trip before one of them ships off to Vietnam, a chance encounter with a corrupt lawman delivers them straight into the hands of something monstrous. What follows is an unrelenting descent into the brutal origins of Texas's most infamous killing clan — a film that earns its prequel badge by going to genuinely dark places.
