Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013)


User Review

I like the idea of this film, go back to the original and continue. The idea is exciting after a bunch of mediocre sequel/prequels.
This movie is good for around ten minutes... and then you are introduced to the main actors (if you can call them that).
They look good, hot bodies and the camera man definitely focuses on cleavage and butt shots.
That is the only positive I can find.
The negative: There is no talent, the actors have no chemistry, the idea is wasted but worst of all there is no pace to the story, no suspense or anything of the original movie that made it good. Avoid at all cost.

Storyline

After the first massacre in 1974, the townspeople suspected that the Sawyer family were responsible. A vigilante mob of enraged locals surrounded the Sawyer house, burning it to the ground and killing every last member of the family. Decades later, a young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from her grandmother. She decides to bring her friends along on the road trip to investigate her inheritance. On arrival, she discovers she has inherited a mansion, but is yet to uncover the terrors that lurk in the basement underneath it.


Cast

Alexandra Daddario as Heather Miller: The film follows Heather, who is travelling through Texas with her boyfriend Ryan to collect an inheritance.
Dan Yeager as Leatherface: Luessenhop stated that he picked Yeager because he felt a sense of "menace" after witnessing Yeager's frame, "farm boy arms", and "brooding brow" stand "quiet and circumspect". He claimed he could no longer think of another actor afterward.
Trey Songz as Ryan: Heather's boyfriend, who accompanies her on the trip through Texas.
Scott Eastwood as Deputy Carl Hartman: Town deputy and Burt's son.
Tania Raymonde as Nikki: She is described as a "small town girl with an attitude", and the best friend of Heather.

Moseley previously portrayed Chop Top in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
