It's certainly a cut above the standard late-'80s horror film, though hardly up to the level of Tobe Hooper's original. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Oct 17 Success in 1 hour and 21 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dubbed and subtitled in worldwide studios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Bobby W. @sqweeq Oct 16 Overall a “good” “classic” 90’s scary movie! Primal embedded fear played on going off the beaten path, down a desolate road; only to find a psycho inbred family whose macabre lifestyle is sustained through isolation, murder, and meat! The star of this 3rd install is much scarier, stronger, faster, and he even drives(nice addition). More could have been done to take it to a higher level as other great horror films, as you’ll find watching more current installments! Leatherface is a lock for my top 4 slasher killer icons so this definitely had those moments that made it a fun one! Growing up in the 80’s, this film made the cut for me and most kids by playing to more realistic than over the top goofiness(pt 2). It did have minor falts such as oops I fell with a killer on my heels shtick; but I liked it! See more stephen b Oct 11 How did they end up in a swamp in the middle of the desert? See more Rebecca P Sep 15 gets a lot of flack but i think its a good fun low budget horror movie. See more Matthew H Jul 26 No es tan mala, en mi opinión igual que la segunda, aunque el diseño de leatherface me gustó más en esta, se las recomiendo See more James B Jul 20 At this point every film is a reboot because he gets a new family every film. The design of leatherface is amazing but the film wasn't. See more Read all reviews
