The Couchpotatoes Being a fan of the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre I gave this one a shot even though I know that sequels are rarely better then their predecessors. And this one is not an exception to the rule. I don't expect much of the acting when it's a gory slasher movie, neither do I about the story because the stories of those kind of movies are just always the same. But nonetheless I expected a bit more about the story. This one is just average. I never had that creepy feeling like in the first movie but then again I was way younger at that time. I wonder if I would still like the first one after all those years. Maybe I should check it out. But this one just didn't do the job. But to say it's the worst movie ever like some say on here isn't true. It's just not the best slasher movie, that's it.

Bboy Gringo Just Like most reviews here i feel in The responsibility to warn You that still hasn't Got the worst privilege that i had to watch this crap...do not See it, if You care for your time and money, don't do this dirty Work for these scumbags of producer and director of Texas Chainsaw 3D, don't watch this useless turd, because i cant even call this a movie.

darrendelong If you just to see rampage serial killer killing people without shitty plot, give it a try. Nothing made sense in this story. The film suddenly tries to portray a sick psychopath serial into some kind of an anti-hero is just plain stupid with that kinda background story. I guess I should pretend to be a 3yr old watching this. There's nothing to feel compassionate for the killer. What's the deal with a seemingly normal girl by parents (doesn't seemingly abusive towards her) and whose friends got mercilessly slaughtered suddenly feels compassionate for the killer simply because they are somewhat related? And a supposedly righteous cop who actually allow this to happen and let the killer go? This story must be based on an alternative universe where nothing made sense.Absolute rubbish.The plot is so shallow, it is like its written by a 5 years old. Watch it only if you extremely bored, the only reason I give it a 2 instead of 1.

Jackson Booth-Millard When I heard about this sequel, I assumed it was a follow-up to the remake series started in 2003, in fact it is a direct follow-up of the original 1974 film, ignoring the events of the original second, third and fourth films, I gave it a chance, directed by John Luessenhop (Takers). Basically it continues straight after the events of the original, where victim Sally has escaped from a chainsaw wielding maniac (originally Gunnar Hansen), the police and townspeople have surrounded the Sawyer farmhouse in Newt, Texas. Corrupt Mayor Burt Hartman (Paul Rae) leads the group who want revenge against the family who aided the murders of Jedidiah "Jed" Sawyer, aka Leatherface (Dan Yeager), the arsonists who burn down the house are praised as heroes, the Sawyer family are presumed all dead. Unbeknownst to most townspeople, a surviving infant relative, Edith Sawyer, is found in the farmhouse, she is adopted by the Millers, Gavin (David Born) and Arlene (Sue Rock), who rename her Heather. Years later, Heather Miller (Alexandra Daddario) is notified that her estranged grandmother, Verna Carson (Marilyn Burns), has died, leaving her everything, this is how Heather discovers she was adopted. Heather is travelling to Newt, Texas to collect her inheritance, she is joined by her boyfriend Ryan ("Simply Amazing" singer Tremaine 'Trey Songz' Neverson) and their friends, Nikki (Lost's Tania Raymonde) and Kenny (Keram Malicki- Sánchez), along the way they also pick up hitchhiker Darryl (Final Destination 2's Shaun Sipos). They arrive and Heather is given the keys to the family house by the Sawyer family attorney, Farnsworth (The Fugitive's Richard Riehle), Heather is excited about the property she now owns, she and her friends decide to stay the night. The group go to get supplies, leaving Darryl to look after the house, he begins to loot the house and breaks into a locked door in the cellar, Leatherface appears and kills him. Heather and her friends return to find the place ransacked, but they choose to ignore this, Kenny prepares dinner and finds the room where Daryl was killed, Leatherface attacks and impales him on a meat hook. Heading upstairs Heather finds a decomposed body, she is knocked unconscious by Leatherface before she can alert anyone, she wakes in Leatherface's room, but manages to escape, while Leatherface cuts Kenny in half with a chainsaw. Hearing the screaming and the chainsaw, Ryan and Nikki find Leatherface and flee, Heather is in the van and the three of them drive away, but Leatherface causes the van to crash, killing Ryan and leaving Nikki unconscious, Heather crawls out and escapes. Leatherface retreats as Heather runs through a nearby carnival, Sheriff Hooper (Space Jam's Thom Barry) questions her and realises Leatherface is still alive, Mayor Hartman sends Officer Marvin (James MacDonald) to the Sawyer house to kill Leatherface, the officer is startled by Nikki and accidentally shoots her, before Leatherface kills him. At the police station, Heather looks through files that have been left out, relating to the murders in 1974, she learns of her family's fate and flees, she is found by the Mayor's son Deputy Carl Hartman (Scott Eastwood), but in fact he is working as an accomplice to Mayor Hartman and Ollie (Ritchie Montgomery), who was part of the Sawyer house arson. Carl leaves, Heather is tied up in the slaughterhouse to lure Leatherface, before he is about to kill her, she convinces him that they are related, she is his cousin, he frees her, the men start attacking Leatherface. At first Heather runs for her life, but hearing his agony she decides to help her cousin, Heather kills Ollie with a pitchfork, while Leatherface uses his chainsaw to force Mayor Hartman into a meat-grinder. In the end Heather reads Leatherface a letter given to her, from Verna, telling her that Leatherface will protect her as long as she cares for him, without any words, she agrees to stay and confirms her loyalty to him. Also starring Bill Moseley as Drayton Sawyer, Gunnar Hansen as Boss Sawyer, Dodie L. Brown as Loretta Sawyer, David Bell as Bear Sawyer, John Dugan as Grandpa Sawyer / Grandfather and Samuel McKinzie as Young Leatherface. Daddario is absolutely gorgeous, she does fine as the victim who turns relative, Eastwood is okay in his short time, but it's a shame that Leatherface doesn't look like he did previously, his skin mask is unconvincing. This film was original released in 3D, but that doesn't do anything to the quality, I will agree with critics that it is predictable and rehashing stuff we've seen before, but I couldn't help but revel in the amount of gory violence and blood spill in this instalment, with chainsaws, meat hooks and many other nasty tools and methods, a not completely awful horror. Adequate!
