rather than focus on what this film be not i will focus on what it be . from what some people will say tcm the beginning and ( a the tcm predecessor have be accuse of ) be and too predictable and not enough plot . etc etc etc and all comment from individual who obviously be watch the wrong water down horror movie for the wrong reason . if you want to watch a good old fashion blood and gut horror movie that deliver on the darkness and the atmosphere and the killing and all that make a horror movie good ( and not bad a be lose on most movie reviewer ) then see tcm the beginning . it be a throw back and just a the remake be to a time when the horror movie market be not dominate with slew of pg 13 water down and psychological horror rip off from real japanese horror movie and only make bad by u film maker . i for one be glad that movie like tcm the beginning come out now and again to the same criticism that should be praise rather than score and but then again i be of a generation that applaud the blood and and gratuitous violence and dreary depression or horror and instead of go eeewww thats gross . it beat the heck out of the japanese rip off pg 13 flick and it definitely beat most of the 90 horror departure from the excellent horror of the 80 film maker who weren not scar to show blood and gut and nudity etc . that be just my general overview if you be the type of person who wish to see a huge hulking serial killer demolish people and rather than some little bug eye kid and or old man with a fisherman hook then by all mean see tcm the beginning and otherwise stay home and complain about the lack of all element that have ruin most horror film over the past decade .
