- This ending is the same as the theatrical ending, but Leatherface stabs Chrissie with a knife through her chest, instead of ramming the chainsaw through her stomach.

It's just about how Thomas Hewitt/Leatherface was born and raised into becoming Leatherface. The new sheriff, well the farmer killed the real sheriff we find out, and just takes his place, he figures he should train Thomas to be a killer as well. 4 teens just happen to be cruising by and get into a car accident because of a biker trying to rob them, but the "sherrif" comes by and kills the biker and captures 3 out of the 4 teens. Well, you get the idea of how else this story came to be.
Now, the story I think needed more development, like how Thomas grew up, they kind of skimped out on it. The acting is your typical cliché horror film, but I did love the gore. It had a few scary moments, but it got really annoying with all the loud noises when there was nothing to be scared of. But I guess you should just judge for yourself.
