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.

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 😏)

I remember wasting money in a theater to see this film upon it's initial release, and after revisiting it on DVD today, realized why this pile of hot garbage is easily the worst film in all of the sequels and reboots. The only integrity this film holds is casting actors from the first two films, of which I've admired and respected, but to cast them as bit extras for 5 minutes, it serves no honor to those first 2 films. There is nothing likeable about the cast otherwise. Even without the loose connections to the original, if this film was made as an original piece of cinema, it's plot is so absurd and ridiculous, that it's a complete waste of the money and budget used to make it.

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

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

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

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