Story Line Driving through the backwoods of Texas, five youths pick up a traumatized hitchhiker, who shoots herself in their van.

Shaken by the suicide, the group seeks help from the locals, but their situation becomes even more surreal when they

knock on the door of a remote homestead. It's quickly apparent the residents are a family of inbred psychopaths, and

the unlucky youths suddenly find themselves running for their lives. In hot pursuit is a disfigured, chainsaw-wielding

cannibal known as Leatherface.

Synopsis In the beginning of the film, there is archive footage of a police search of the Hewitt house. The two officers survey the

house and desend into the basement, noting the fingernaill scratch marks, human blood and hair embedded into the

walls.

It is August 1973, where five young adults, Erin (Jessica Biel), Kemper (Eric Balfour), Morgan (Jonathan Tucker), Andy

(Mike Vogel), and Pepper (Erica Leerhsen), are on their way to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert after coming back from Mexico.

As they drive through rural Travis County, Texas, they see a distraught hitchhiker (Lauren

German), who eventually gets in their van. After trying to speak to the hitchhiker, who

speaks incoherently about a "bad man," she shoots and kills herself with a .357 Magnum

pistol.

The group decides to contact the police in which they drive up to a rural country store

where the elderly clerk tells them that the sheriff is at the mill. The group drives over to

the mill where instead of the sheriff, they find a little boy named Jedediah (David

Dorfman) who tells them that the sheriff is drinking at home. Erin and Kemper go

through the woods to find his house, leaving the other three at the mill with the boy.

They come to a large plantation house where Erin is allowed inside by the owner, an

amputee with both of his legs gone, named Monty Hewitt, to phone for help. When Erin

finishes, the semi-sinister old man asks her for help, using the opportunity to fondle her

without her noticing. Kemper goes inside to look for Erin and is killed with a

sledgehammer to the back by Thomas Hewitt, a.k.a.: Leatherface (Andrew Bryniarski),

who drags his dead body through a large steel door to the basement.

Meanwhile, Sheriff Hoyt (R. Lee Ermey), a strange-looking policeman, arrives at the mill

and disposes of the hitchhiker's body, wrapping her in cellophane and putting her in his

trunk and drives away. Erin arrives and finds that Kemper is still missing. Andy and Erin go

back to Monty's house, where Erin distracts him while Andy searches for Kemper. Monty

realizes Andy is inside and summons Leatherface, who attacks him with his chainsaw.

Erin escapes and heads towards the woods, but Leatherface cuts Andy's left leg off as he

is running through the back yard. Leatherface carries him to the basement and hangs him on a meat hook with his feet

hanging over a piano, where he rubs salt on Andy's stump of a leg before wrapping it in butcher paper and tying it with

human hair.

Erin makes it back to the abandoned mill and tries to escape in the van, but Sheriff Hoyt shows up and, after finding

marijuana, orders Erin, Morgan and Pepper out of the van. The sheriff gives Morgan the gun he took from the hitchhiker

and tells Morgan to reenact how she killed herself. Morgan, scared and disturbed by the sheriff's demeanor, attempts to

shoot the sheriff only to find the gun is unloaded. Sheriff Hoyt handcuffs Morgan and takes him to the Hewitt house,

leaving the girls in the van where they are attacked by Leatherface. Pepper runs, but is cut in half by Leatherface's

chainsaw. Erin also sees that Leatherface is wearing Kemper's face over his own. He begins to chase Erin throught the

woods with his large chainsaw buzzing.

During the drive, Sheriff Hoyt continues to taunt Morgan over his well being, and for no reason, smashes a liquor bottle

in Morgan's face, knocking a few of his front teeth out. Hoyt pulls out his own set of front false teeth and mentions an

intresting story about how he lost them some time back when they arrive at the exact same sinister house. Hoyt drags

Morgan out of his squad car, into the house, and to the basement.

Meanwhile, Erin manages to escape from Leatherface and hides in a nearby trailer with two women inside, who offer

her tea and try to soothe her. The two women, a morbidly obese middle-aged woman known only as the 'Tea Lady' and

a younger woman named Henrietta, whom is presumably her daughter, act strange. After they tell Erin that they don't

have a phone for her to call for help, a telephone in the trailer rings and Henrietta picks it up and tells someone on the

other end that "she's here". Erin discovers they have kidnapped a child when she sees that the baby with them is the

same child in a photograph with the woman who committed suicide earlier in the kid's van. However, the tea is drugged

and she passes out when she tries to leave.

Erin wakes up at the Hewitt house surrounded by the entire crazed and murderous Hewitt family: Thomas 'Leatherface'

Hewitt; his mother Luda May; Sheriff Hoyt (whom is actually Leatherface's cousin Charlie Hewitt); Monty (Leatherface's

uncle); and the little boy Jedediah. Luda May tells Erin that her excuse for her son Thomas's actions, was that her son

was tormented by teenagers during his upbringing while working in the closed-down slaughterhouse and that she felt no

one cared for her family besides themselves.

Erin is taken to the basement, where she finds Andy. She tries to help him off of the meat hook but when he sees he will

land on the piano keys and alert Leatherface, he begs her to kill him, which she does, though suffers severe emotional

trauma. She finds Morgan, still handcuffed, and Jedediah leads them out of the house. Jedediah rejects Erin's plea to

come with them and distracts

Leatherface long enough for them to escape. Erin and Morgan find an abandoned house in the woods and barricade

themselves inside. Leatherface breaks in and discovers Erin, but Morgan attacks Leatherface, causing him to drop his

chainsaw. Morgan grabs Leatherface and wrestles him, but Leatherface is too heavy and easily lifts Morgan upwards

onto a chandelier before releasing him and Morgan gets tangled in the chandelier by his handcuffs. Leatherface picks up

his chainsaw and slices up into Morgan's groin, killing him.

Erin runs out of the shack and escapes through the woods. Leatherface trips and cuts his leg while pursuing her. Erin

finds a slaughterhouse and hides in a locker. Leatherface opens the locker across from hers and she attacks him with a

meat cleaver, and chops off his right arm.

As it begins to rain, Erin runs outside and flags down a trucker, whom she tries to convince to go away from the Hewitt's

house, but he stops to find help at the eatery. Erin sees Luda May and watches as Sheriff Hoyt arrives and talks to the

trucker. Erin sees Henrietta watching over the kidnapped baby in a highchair. When Henrietta walks outside to join Luda

May and Sheriff Hoyt whom are talking to the truck driver, Erin sneaks the baby out of the eatery and hot-wires the

sheriff's car before running him over repeatedly until he is dead. Leatherface appears in the road and tries to stop her,

but Erin and the baby escape unharmed.

The police archive footage continues to play. The officers inspect the basement noting the hanging meat hooks when

suddenly one of the officers is grabbed and severely beaten. A blurred figure viciously shakes the camera and the other

police officer is heard screaming. The narrator states that "The crime scene was not properly secured by Travis County

Police. Two investigating officers were fatally wounded that day. This is the only known image of Thomas Hewitt, the

man they call Leatherface. The case today still remains open".

La piel es el órgano más grande del cuerpo humano, este es un órgano macizo. Está compuesto por tres capas; la

epidermis (capa externa) que contiene células muerta y sirve como protección y barrera, la dermis (capa media) es un

conjunto celular en esta se alojan las glándulas de funcionamiento de órgano, el tejido subcutáneo (capa interna) es la

que le da sostén al órgano.

En esta fotografía se puede observar como el taxidermista (persona que se dedica al arreglo de la piel) está colocando a

la víctima en un gancho para el futuro procedimiento de disección para la correcta conservación de la dermis

En esta toma se puede apreciar como Thomas Hewitt (Leatherface) está realizando un procedimiento cirurgico invasivo

para remover la dermis de la víctima, este procedimiento debe de ser efectuado con materiales y métodos adecuados

para la correcta remoción del tejido cutáneo. El proceso de remoción de piel es un procedimiento común en la práctica

médica, ya que para llegar a cualquier otro órgano primero se necesita remover la capa protectora del cuerpo (la piel).

Thomas Hewitt tenía una enfermedad congénita, que aparte de un severo retraso mental, también padecía de

deformaciones en el rostro y cuerpo.

Aquí se puede apreciar a tom realizando una invasión cirurgica a una víctima, para la democión de órgano dérmico,

tomas utiliza este órgano para la fabricación de mascaras que cubran sus deformidades
