Decades ago, residents of Newt, Texas, long suspected that the Sawyer family was responsible for the disappearances of many people. When their suspicions finally were confirmed, vigilantes torched the Sawyer compound and killed every member of the family -- or so they thought. Much later, a young woman named Heather (Alexandra Daddario) learns that she has inherited Texas property from an unknown relative, and she is unaware of horrors that await in the mansion's dank cellar.

Critics Consensus

As an ugly and cynical attempt to rebrand Leatherface as horror anti-hero, Texas Chainsaw 3D is a bold move for the franchise.

The trend lately in Hollywood is that the first weekend in January belongs to horror. Unfortunately for us, it's subpar horror.

Austin Chronicle

This new film survives on its formulaic horror mechanics and the powerful image of a chain saw wielded in 3-D.

Rated: 2/5

Behind The Lens

This is what good horror film moviemaking is all about - story, characters, visual appeal and genuine jump out of your seat terror!

CineVue

Starts promisingly but soon becomes yet another sub-standard American gorefest, with little or no real body.

Rated: 2/5

...Continuing where the first left off? Good idea. Filling the movie with unlikable characters, stupid plot twists and broken continuity? Terrible idea.

Heather descobre que é adotada e que sua avó faleceu, deixando-lhe uma herança. Ela então viaja para o Texas, junto com o namorado e um casal de amigos, sem saber que no porão da mansão que vai receber o Leatherface vive. Eu nunca vi uma franquia sofrer tanto assim nas mãos dos seus produtores e, com ela, um personagem. Leatherface teve uma família nos dois primeiros filmes, ganhou novos integrantes no terceiro e no quarto, que deixavam de ser canibais. No quinto e no sexto, ele troca de sobrenome: era Sawyer, vira Hewitt. Agora neste, Leatherface volta a ser Sawyer e o filme passa a ser uma continuação do primeiro. Além de fazer uma bagunça na linha temporal do personagem e da franquia, o roteiro é extremamente genérico, com personagens tomando atitudes burras ou sem sentido. Há uma perseguição em um parque de diversões lotado e muitos dos figurantes parecem que não estão endo um brutamontes de 2 metros de altura, uma máscara de pele humana e uma motosserra na mão. Com muito menos, outros filmes criavam um caos na tela. Outro detalhe: é o roteiro querer transformar o Leatherface em herói, isso depois que ele matou todos os amigos de Heather. Não tem lógica. Um filme que acaba com toda uma franquia e um personagem. Entende-se porque Leatherface não está pau a pau com os seus outros colegas, como Jason e Michael Myers.

It wasn't bad. It's just a pointless direct sequel to the Texas Chainsaw (1974) movie, that shouldn't have been made. It was a decent movie, however, it just knocks the other movie's timelines.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Texas Chainsaw 3D makes no sense in Leatherface's Legacy but it has over-the-top blood & gore action sequences and a noisy raw Chainsaw (plus the poster of the film is beautiful such as Alexandra 😏)

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
