Leatherface is taken to a whole new dimension in Texas Chainsaw 3D.

Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013)

Perhaps you are a fan of the original 1974 slasher flick The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, in which some unsuspecting teenagers are horribly butchered by an insane family in Texas. Or maybe the 2003 reboot, where Jessica Biel and some of her friends are horribly butchered by an insane family in Texas, is more your style. Well, if neither incarnation of this story is creepy enough for you, then perhaps you'll find what you're looking for in Texas Chainsaw 3D where, you guessed it, some unsuspecting young people are horribly butchered by an insane family in Texas... in 3D.

The plot line of this new take on the story proves to be a follow-up on the original movie. After the events of 1974, the house where the murderous Sawyers lived has been burned to the ground and the family seemingly eradicated. Years later, a young woman named Heather comes to find out that she has inherited land in Texas after the death of her grandmother, so she packs up a few of her close friends and takes them along for the ride down to check out her new property. As it turns out, not all the members of the sadistic family are dead, and chaos ensues when Heather and her friends find themselves ambushed by Leatherface and his iconic chainsaw.

The cast of Texas Chainsaw 3D is filled with many little-known faces, however it seems that horror may just be their proper place in the movies. Alexandra Daddario takes on the lead role of Heather, and while her role may not call for much in the way of acting skills, she proves that she has what it takes to be a leading lady in slasher flicks.

Tremaine Neverson steps in alongside Daddario as Heather's boyfriend Ryan, who she takes to Texas with her. Having previously worked on dance-heavy movies Step Up 2 and Step Up 3D, Neverson holds his own in this gory departure from his usual work.

Not to be missed is in the infamous Texas villain Leatherface, this time around played by Dan Yeager. He may be a newcomer to the big screen, but Yeager gives a strong, spine-chilling performance as the butcher with a chainsaw.

Tania Raymonde and Keram Malicki-Sánchez round out Heather's circle of friends as Nikki and Kenny.

There is something extra creepy about watching a gory slasher flick in 3D, mainly because the blood is truly everywhere. However, it's also a visually stimulating experience. If you're a fan of blood and guts, 3D slashers are something you're sure to love.

Texas Chainsaw 3D may not be the next Citizen Kane, but it is exactly what it promises to be, and for that at least it should receive some credit. If you're looking for a bloody good time at the theatre with friends, then you should definitely check out Texas Chainsaw 3D.
