‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’ made its way back in theatres continuing with the Leatherface story and still managing to scare people out of their seats.
Despite poor reviews, the sequel made its way to the number one spot at the Box Office grossing 23 million within the first weekend.
The horror film opens with a clip from the 1974 version, which takes place in Newt, Texas where Leatherface is shown slaughtering young teens that cross his path.
Tired of his horrifying antics, citizens prepare and eventually kill him by burning down the house with Leatherface and his family inside.
So they thought, leaving two survivors, a baby and Leatherface.
Years later, Heather (Alexandra Daddario), a local grocery store butcher discovers that her grandmother has passed leaving her with a sizeable inheritance, including a mansion in the town of Newt.
Heather brings along her boyfriend, Ryan (Trey Songz), and best friends Nikki, (Tania Raymonde) and Kenny (Scott Eastwood) to travel with her to collect her inheritance, a handwritten note from her late grandmother, and to visit the estate.
While there, they discover a horrifying visitor.
Full of the usual gore and gruesome, gut splattering action, the movie presents a lot of surprising twist and turns.
One of which we find out about Heather’s past that even she doesn’t know about.
For years everything that she was told was a lie.
The movie progresses by Heather (Daddario) finding a stack of newspaper clippings showing what the towns people did to her family.
One thing is for sure, Leatherface shows no mercy towards any of his victims, except when he finds out who Heather (Daddario) really is
Another great surprise was R&B singer, Trey Songz acting. ‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’ was his first leading role in a major film.
Although Songz is a rookie in the movie world, his skills showed otherwise.
Trey Songz not only helped the audience feel the scare during certain parts of the movie, he also brought a high amount of sex appeal and was noted to be the targeted reason why the film skyrocketed to the number one spot.
This movie brings the right amount of suspense and action to make a great horror movie.
The actors did a amazing job of scaring the audience.
One thing that seemed a bit unsettling was the missing 3D element of the movie, which the film left the audience wanting more of.
If you are expecting to see flying chain saws or even human body parts towards the screen, save a bit of money by viewing the film in 2D.
