At the end of this film, Leatherface found he was very close to his relative."Texas Chainsaw Buffet Chain"Maybe as they got closer, they decide to open up a buffet chain that sells to cannibles? This could be a horror/comedy.

Texas Chainsaw is a very pointless film, and wields a chainsaw that clearly has no real teeth. The 3D gimmick quickly becomes tiresome as there are only so many random objects that can be pointlessly pointed at the screen (and when you watch it on TV, it is all null and void anyway), but the plot simply is not there and doesn't really add up (a murderous gang in a rambling house having a millionaire benefactor? A funfair crowd that pretty much ignores a chainsaw-swinging maniac in hot pursuit of a defenceless young woman?). Also, the main narrative premise makes no real sense in terms of the side we, the good viewers, are supposed to take. OK, there is some unlawful vigilante antics at the outset that sees off the Chainsaw clan, but are we really supposed to be that moved? This is a family that ruthlessly kills all who fall into their clutches, an ethos carried on by the surviving Leatherface (shacked up in palatial splendour, to boot), so the sense of moral outrage expressed by Heather (and the Sheriff) is really weird. Oh dear, the nascent Mayor eliminated a group of murderous cannibals in his youth, how awful! I sure hope that justice is served and that Heather and her human face-wearing Charge live happily ever after (with Heather effortlessly overlooking how 'Cuz' brutally butchered her boyfriend and best friend, but family is family, I guess). The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a triumph of '70s nihilistic horror, but this slick, CGI-filled, 3D-charged farrago just needed to be hung on a meat hook. Très bad.

This does not deserve a 4.8 which is it's current rating as I write this.Acting is good - no one's going to win an Oscar, but it's on the higher-end of slasher film acting. The effects are good and there is plenty of action.No, it's not an amazing plot and no, it's not entirely logical, but ultimately, how many slashers are? If you are genuinely watching Texas Chainsaw 3D for logic and an amazing plot: YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.If you're looking to be entertained by some hack and slash chainsaw action with good production and decent-to-good acting, you could do a hell of a lot worse than this.

So this film bills itself as the direct sequel to the original 1974 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, even starting the film using archive footage from that film then continuing it on with a siege at the Sawyer house.The stand off at the house at the start really reminded me of the start of The Devils Rejects but not as well executed. The film then jumps about 20 years to a girl finding out she has inherited a house by a grandmother she didn't know she had so goes on a road trip to Texas with her friends to see it.I went into this film with really low expectation not expecting much at all but I quite enjoyed watching it but it is a very dumb film. So don't go into this film expecting a horror classic like the original. A couple of the dumb moments being the friends leaving a hitchhiker they just met in the house while they go shopping or how the main girl is in a crop top type thing for most of the film so her stomach is always on show and even when given a shirt to put on she only does up the top couple of buttons so her stomach is still on show constantly, even gets her shirt ripped fully open to then only do the top couple of buttons up again, it's very weirdly off putting. The acting is all OK nobody too awful, the story is alright, the first act is very normal predictable stuff, the middle I found quite interesting and then the final act was OK for me personally but it will definitely rub a lot of people up the wrong way I think. Final thoughts being quite enjoyable to watch but nothing special or memorable just don't take it too seriously. 6/10
