6 More Horror Movies No-One Survives

3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning has one of the great 'so near but so far' final kills, with Leatherface appearing in the backseat of an escaping car to slice up Jordana Brewster's Chrissie.

As a movie, The Beginning is bang average (at best!), but with the slaughtering of Chrissie, Leatherface had finished his job and made sure that the picture had zero survivors.

This 2006 prequel picture details how Thomas Hewitt became Leatherface, and the film opens with an early death as Thomas' mother dies while giving birth to the future chainsaw enthusiast. From there, the now-adult Tommy kills his boss before then getting the chance to carve up five pretty young things by the time The Beginning wraps up - the last of these being the aforementioned Chrissie.

Away from that, Leatherface also manages to kill off a couple of cops as audiences got to see Thomas Hewitt blossom into the butcher Poster Boy of the Texas Chainsaw franchise. As of this writing, Leatherface has been seen to have killed a total of 55 people, and The Beginning was the picture that first gave us a glimpse at the maniac's formative years.
