Texas Chainsaw


Texas Chainsaw is basically your typical slasher movie. A deranged man brutally murders a bunch of innocent people for no apparent reason, picking apart the victims one by one. The only difference with this movie is that the murderer uses a chainsaw. 

The movie begins with clips from the original 1974 movie, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, of when everyone in the Sawyer family is killed except for a baby. The baby was found and adopted by Gavin (David Born) and his wife Arlene (Sue Rock). The story picks up right where the prequel left off when Heather (Alexandra Daddario) finds out that her biological grandmother died and left everything to her. She decides to travel to Texas to claim her inheritance along with a few of her friends and her boyfriend Ryan, portrayed by R&B singer Tremaine Neverson, also known as Trey Songz. Little does she know that the killer from the Texas chainsaw massacre of 1974, Leatherface (Dan Yeager), is still alive and back for revenge. 

Despite the terrifying name and the numerous scenes of blood and gore, the movie was too predictable to actually be scary. The plot and the characters lacked substance, the acting was mediocre, plus it doesn't make sense why Heather is so young in the movie when she was supposed to be a baby 38 years ago. The ending may have been the most unpredictable moment of the movie, but it was too random and confusing to be an exciting kind of unpredictable. From the looks of the clips in the movie, if you really wanted to be satisfied by Texas Chainsaw Massacre you should look no further than the original.
