![]() Each teen was stereotyped down to a tee with the athlete, the slut, the partier, the smart one, and the “virgin” (we work with what we have). If The Cabin in the Woods taught us anything, it’s that horror movies today are very formulaic and yet TC3D hits every note TCINW satirizes. Heather comes to learn she has inherited an estate from a grandmother she never knew existed. If the original is set in 1974 and TC3D is set in the present (they use iPhones), that would put Leatherface at an age close to at least 60 and Heather 38, which neither physically resemble. It’s upsetting that the screenwriters never factored in any sense of time. Only one Sawyer woman makes it out alive, only to be curb stomped in the face and her newborn taken away from by one of the men responsible for her peril.Īn unknown amount of time has passed, the infant has grown up into our final girl, Heather Miller (Alexandra Daddario). Where did all of these family members come from, we do not know, which is just one of the problems that make you scratch your head.įed up with the Sawyer family shenanigans, against the better judgement of the sheriff, the town folk make grilled cheese out of the home and set it on fire. Originally there was only the hitchhiker, the gas station owner, Grandpa, and Leatherface in TC3D, all of the sudden, a whole slew of family members are seen within the Sawyer residence locked and loaded ready to protect Leatherface from the Newt, Texas sheriff and its residents. After a few short flashbacks, we pick up immediately after the events of TCM, as a police car heads straight to the Sawyer house – Tobe Hooper’s film never gave a name to the sadistic BBQ cannibals, but now they have one. ![]() Sadly, right from the beginning is where we run into continuity errors. Needless to say, Texas Chainsaw 3D had a lot to live up to if it was going to be a direct sequel to one of the greatest horrors of cinema. Aside from Jaws and possibly The Exorcist, not many films within the genre can say they withstood the test of time, continuing to be as frightening as when they first released. It is psychologically and visually grotesque and disturbing. Betting it all on a semi-twist ending to redirect the timeline, TC3D is riddled with bad writing, weak scares, and is a pathetic attempt of 3D.įor me, Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will live in infamy as my favorite horror movie of all time. Finding a home at Twisted Pictures, Texas Chainsaw 3D acts as a straight sequel to Tobe Hooper’s 1974 original. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise has been passed around to various studios more times than a party favor at a Snoop Dogg concert, which has been quite difficult for many of the reiterations to keep any sort of continuity.
