Be forewarned: Continuity is going to get crazy from here on out. One thing is for sure: Leatherface is very much his own man in TCM 3 , and there are more Sawyers left killing people in Texas. In the finale, Tex, Alfredo, and grandma are killed, and even though Leather has his head beaten in with a giant rock, he rises again before the end.
The prologue references the events of the original, which took place on August 18, , and says that no family members were apprehended. Since the W.
This possibly confirms a line from earlier in the movie in which it is posited that Vilmer is actually an alien. Next Gen bears the least resemblance to the franchise of any movie in it.
This is the fifth movie in the franchise, and the first to introduce the Hewitt family. Awaiting them is Leatherface, his mom Luda May, her brother Monty, the vicious patriarch who goes by Hoyt the name of the police officer whose uniform he stole after he killed him , and a feral little boy named Jedidiah.
In the reboot universe, Leatherface is presented as upright, muscular, methodical, and duty-bound, serving as the enforcer for his family. The Beginning is a prequel to the reboot timeline established in TCM After young lovers Betty Hartman and Ted Hardesty come across Jedidiah Sawyer on the side of the road, Betty worries about the child's safety and follows him back to a barn, hoping to help him.
But the Sawyer family isn't kind to strangers on their property, and she quickly meets an untimely end. As it turns out, her dad is the local sheriff, and when he arrives at the Sawyer farm, he's shocked and saddened by the scene he discovers. Sheriff Hartman knows that no path of revenge will make up for the heartache he felt upon losing his daughter, but he needs to punish the Sawyers. As retribution, he sends Jedidiah away to a mental institution, despite the protests of his mom Verna.
This is where the boy who will become Leatherface spends his teenage years. In the prequel, we see how Leatherface is raised to be a murderer by the sadistic Hewitt family. But in Leatherface , he manages to resist his family's influence throughout his childhood. At his birthday party, his family announces his present — the chance to torture and kill a thief who tried to steal one of their pigs.
But when they give him a chainsaw, Leatherface is visibly afraid. He doesn't want any part of the violent ritual. His relatives decide that Grandpa will kill the thief instead. To truly become a part of the family, he needs to embrace their bloodlust — and throughout the film, his mother makes it clear that she'll make him "one of them" at any cost. She may be violent towards outsiders, but when it comes to her own family, she's fiercely protective.
In this version of the story, it's clear that Leatherface knows what's expected of him, but deep down, he doesn't want to participate. So what makes him crack? Whether the story starts with Leatherface as an innocent child amongst the twisted Sawyer clan, or the adopted Hewitt son who is relentlessly bullied, it always ends up going the same way for him: he reaches some breaking point, and becomes the monster we meet in the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Perhaps he wasn't born to be like the rest of his family, but he can never escape them. In Leatherface , Jedidiah who was renamed "Jackson" by the staff at the mental institution leaves the institution after Verna breaks in to free him.
After going on the run with a nurse and small group of inmates, he gets shot in the face, and his mother is the one who helps him stitch up his wounds. She knows that while he's vulnerable, she can sink her claws back into him and bring him back into the Sawyer family. When she finally puts a chainsaw back in his hands, he's ready to use it for the first time — on Sheriff Hartman, who had him institutionalized as a child.
We know Leatherface's backstory deviates in certain places, depending on which films you're watching. In the prequel, it isn't Leatherface's mother who encourages him to give in to his worst impulses although she certainly plays a role. In this case, Charlie Hewitt, Luda Mae's son, is the real culprit. When Leatherface loses his job at the slaughterhouse, he lets out his pent-up rage and kills his boss. When Sheriff Hoyt tries to arrest Leatherface, Hewitt steps in and kills him, then disguises himself as Hoyt.
This allows them to escape. After spending time with "Hoyt," the impressionable Thomas Hewitt completely becomes Leatherface — there's little humanity left. The real Ed Gein did this however, to help quell his desire to be a woman, not because of a skin disease as with Leatherface in the film. Also included in his uniform, Ed Gein wore a vest of skin complete with breasts and female genitalia strapped above his own.
In November of , police found Bernice Worden hanging from the rafters in a shed behind Gein's house. Her body had been gutted like that of a deer, and the head had been removed.
Ed Gein was also the suspect in several other missing persons. The element of the chainsaw that was added for the film's story once again emphasizes the loose connection of the film to Gein.
Eddie Gein was the son of Augusta and George Gein. Augusta was a deeply religious woman, who preached the Bible to Eddie and his brother Henry on a daily basis. She warned them about the dangers of loose women, in an effort to keep them from being cast down to hell. She was a strict, hard woman, who never wavered from her own beliefs, which she ingrained into the family. Sally manages to get a passing truck to stop, running over Nubbins.
While the panicking trucker and Sally escape, he throws a wrench at Leatherface, causing him to fall backwards and cut into his leg with his own chainsaw. Sally makes another run for it, and manages to escape Leatherface in a pickup truck.
He also lived with his mother, Anne Sawyer. His brother Alfredo owned The last chance gas station. In Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation , he was a cross dresser involved in an Illuminati conspiracy to provide society a source of horror, and, again, with a different family, probably because in the first three movies, the rest of his family has been killed or imprisoned. Leatherface, along with his brothers Vilmer and W. But unlike the previous families, Leatherface and his family do not eat their victims.
However, for the rest of the film he wears a black dress, a more feminine skin on his body, and a black wig. When we first see him, he wears a camouflage jacket, his traditional white apron, and has a long black curly wig.
Leatherface screams throughout the film. When Heather temporary escapes from his hands into a storage room, he screams.
