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.

What to Know

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.

diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12 Compared to some of the earlier TCM films, this one is incredible. A perfectly solid horror movie with a very contemporary feel. Plus, that blue shadow is stunning. (Inglês por causa da ia) See more The W @TheWagners Jul 4 Really a dull movie honestly but not the worst of the series. The 3D made the movie unserious and laughable at points. Then to know he won't hurt certain people cause he likes them made me loathe how they made Leatherface. Poor movie See more Justin T. @RT29681041 May 31 Always Been A Fan Of The Texas Chainsaw Movies And This One Didn't Disappoint It Was Really Good See more Alex D. @RT24918759 May 23 The 3d is dumb but the movie is not and yes the hickhinker guy is probably the worst character in the movie but the is good See more Ludster T. @TheLudster100 Apr 5 A fair attempt at TCM.. Story is a little bit lame but Alexandra Daddario is stunning. See more Jorge H @jorge02 Mar 21 Once again. Great and Weird, Texas Chainsaw 3D is really worth to watch and have fun. One of the best movies if we include The original and The Remake 9.2/10 See more Read all reviews
