Texas Chainsaw is as rusty as Leatherface's chasing methods. Texas Chainsaw 2. Texas Chainsaw 3D. Texas Chainsaw "I Don't Give A Flip What It's Called". So the quote on the bluray cover states "as terrifying as the original", which acts as a disservice to the 1974 horror classic. Why? Because. This. Was. Atrocious. Undoing all the other sequels/remakes/reboots that the franchise consists of, this is a straight-up sequel where the Sawyer family are murdered. However, a baby girl survives and 40 years later goes back to the town to reclaim her inheritance which also includes Leatherface living in the basement still. It starts off with clips from the original, acting as a nostalgic recap for all those who have waited for a sequel. Ironically, this two minute segment is actually the only scary and realistic part of this entire flick. Aside from Daddario's enigmatic stomach which deserves its own casting credit for having the most screen time, there is nothing else here that justifies this sequel's existence. Firstly, if it is set 40 years later (there are smartphones being used), why is the main character in her early 20's? How is Leatherface's chainsaw not rusty from lack of use? Why wasn't the letter opened immediately? How is it that the police officers are overruled by the town's mayor? Why would you leave the stranger behind in the house by himself? Why was this made? Why am I watching this? Who am I? I don't even know anymore! The acting was dreadful from everyone. The provocative push for 3D gimmicky effects took away from any scares or gory moments that the film attempted to portray. A guy gets sliced by a meat grinder, it is undoubtedly one of the worst use of visual effects I've ever seen. The worst crime is that they turned Leatherface into an anti-hero. Are you actually kidding me? He just killed all of your friends darling and now you side with him just because he's family? I'm done. It's nearly a carbon copy of the original, but worse than worse. There's no logic and no reasoning for this to exist. Pass me the chainsaw, I'm cutting this disc in half.0 member like this review.
