Texas Chainsaw 3D

Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013) replants the gruesome roots of Tobe Hooper’s 1974 original, transposing its butchery to a young woman’s inheritance-driven return to a Texas family estate. Amidst the decayed grandeur of a Victorian mansion, she and her friends unearth a legacy of violence, as the family’s sordid history materializes in the form of a chainsaw-wielding maniac lurking in the property’s darkened cellars. The film cleaves through modern horror conventions, grafting visceral terror onto a gothic framework of familial ties and ancestral curses.
