Texas Chainsaw, the US #1 box office hit, picks up directly where the terrifying 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre ended, with the repercussions of Leatherface's shocking slayings. In the aftermath of Tobe Hooper's classic, the townspeople take dramatic action against the Sawyer family. They had long suspected the family were responsible for several mysterious disappearances and had their suspicions finally confirmed when a young woman escaped the house. Word of the murders quickly spread, and a vigilante mob of enraged locals surrounded the Sawyer stronghold, burning it to the ground and killing every last member of the family - or so they thought.

This should never have happened. It’s such an incredibly stupid film (and by that I mean the whole thing, not just the temporary illogic behaviour of the characters that’s common in horror) that I think that not even those viewers who have no problem turning off their brains can appreciate it. Luessenhop should go to jail for raping Hooper’s classic, for life. This time, I’m rating subjectively downwards, I can’t help it, it’s been long since something pissed me off so much.

One fine chase, the very fine boobs of Alexandra Daddario and an unbearable pile of screenwriting garbage and idiocy. It has pace and even atmosphere at times, but compared to the brilliant original, it doesn't feel even like a deliberately dumbed-down, fanmade product for today's youth (yeah, I wish it was deliberate). I want a depressing and minimalist sequel that will draw the protagonists into an unrelenting vortex of disgusting moral and physical decadence, not this moderate drivel... 30%

The movie Texas Chainsaw 3D gets 15% from me because of Alexandra Daddario, who has some of the most beautiful breasts I've ever seen, and here she shows quite a lot of them in one scene. Besides that, she's generally considered a hottie. Another 5% is for Scott Eastwood, whom I like because of his father's legacy, even though he mostly gets silly roles so far. Does this film scare? No way!

In the old days, after watching Tobe Hooper’s original, I longed for it to last another hour and a half. I wanted to keep riding that wave of horror and never leave. Texas Chainsaw 3D follows the original in that spirit... but it completely changed the concept of both the classics and the Michael Bay-produced remakes, which delighted the contemporary young viewer with ultra-brutality and a modern grim atmosphere. It is the least bloody of the mentioned films and not at all grim. Leatherface wears a purple sweater and the conflict of local villagers with the remains of the Saw family interferes with the plot in a way that the audience doesn’t care about. The scene on the carousel surprised and delighted me, and Alexandra Daddario is the most interesting actress to appear in a slasher flick in a long while, but the rest is a scriptwriting and directorial mistake with everything in it wrong in the context of the horror legend.
