Full Plot Details

In August, 1939, a worker goes into labor while working in a slaughterhouse and dies after a complicated labor, though the deformed child survives. The possibly orphaned baby is dumped in a garbage container and found by a beggar later, who brings him home. Along the years, the mentally retarded and disturbed boy called Thomas is raised by the Hewitt family in spite of having psychological problems as well as suffering from an unnamed skin disorder, later working in a meat packing plant. In July, 1969, when the facility is closed, the inhabitants move to other places, but the deformed, mentally childlike Thomas flies into a rage after being insulted and kills the foreman. His deranged brother (considered his uncle due to their age difference) executes the sheriff that is going to arrest Thomas, and assumes his identity, wearing his clothes,driving his car though the roads in Texas and entitling himself as Sheriff Hoyt. Meanwhile, the brothers Eric and Dean are traveling in a Jeep with their girlfriends Christie and Bailey, Eric to serve in Vietnam and Dean escaping to Mexico. 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.

Movie Reviews

Associated Press - 8/10 by Christy Lemire[Brewster's] just not feisty enough. There's no there there -- and you want a little sass in your horror movie babes, right?
Rolling Stone - 8/10 by Peter TraversAttention sadists: Demand more from your gorefests than this pro forma return to the well. Has mass murder ever been this dull?
Maxim - 8/10 by Pete HammondIf you are into extremes this ultra-violent blood feast is probably just your ticket.
LYTRules.com - 8/10 by Luke Y. ThompsonMost slasher sequels are just lame retreads; this is a retread, but it's well shot and acted, even when the onscreen logic is odd.
E! Online - 8/10 by Alex MarkersonEver gone into a movie knowing exactly what's going to happen and still been scared by it? Yeah, me neither.
One Guy's Opinion - 8/10 by Frank SwietekGiven that this is a prequel...there's no suspense, only ninety minutes of lip-smacking sadism. This is entertainment?
FilmJerk.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfThe idea of more kids getting lost in the hidden interstates of Texas, lining up for the slaughter is, frankly, fairly boring. I mean, come on...even Police Academy went to Miami Beach for their fifth film.
Movie Reviews in Croatian - 8/10 by Victoria AlexanderAs a prequel to a gruesome horror movie, this one does the family name proud.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 7/10 by John BeifussTries to justify its ugly sadism through some very black comedy and a revival of the Vietnam-era cultural politics of the original: The cannibal family represents an establishment that turns young people into not just cannon fodder but literal fodder.
Juicy Cerebellum - 7/10 by Alex SandellThe most brutal Massacre since the 1974 original.
