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.

The trend lately in Hollywood is that the first weekend in January belongs to horror. Unfortunately for us, it's subpar horror. Go to Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle 01/11/2013

This new film survives on its formulaic horror mechanics and the powerful image of a chain saw wielded in 3-D. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/27/2019

...Continuing where the first left off? Good idea. Filling the movie with unlikable characters, stupid plot twists and broken continuity? Terrible idea. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Mar 4 The worldwide gross is $47,340,586.00. See more Rob W @RT93511224 Jan 30 Yes, they made another Chainsaw movie, and I'll show my hand here, there was pretty much only one reason to revisit this and that was for the "ample charms", sorry, star quality of Alexandra Daddario , so, enough of this piffle, is it any good 13 years later? Well it's a game of two halves it must be said, the first 40 minutes is riddled with the usual cliched characters, hicks with Cowboy hats, (you can see why Trump got in) piss poor dialogue "I'm banging you-keep your hands off my shit!". The film was originally released as 3D (what a success that was) but thankfully it doesn't rear it's ugly head to obviously, just the usual chainsaw aimed at the viewer. The gore level is near non-existent but when the second half kicks in we get a nice chainsaw through the body and a juicy one in someone's ankle.Alexandra is a great scream queen, though it is amusing how her hair looks so perfect with the Hell she's trying to escape! Trash in all fairness, but I love that, so, entertaining trash! See more Aadil M @RT69075013 Dec 31 Surprisingly a good film, I enjoyed it. The ending was unexpected but hey ho. See more Angelo C. @Angelocafasso1 Dec 19 This movie isn’t great in it’s story and execution but it is certainly a cheesy and entertaining good time! See more Maikevin F. Z @RT84177907 Dec 9 Alexandra Daddario saved this movie, just another slasher of the cinema history. See more Cory T @D4rk_Ang3l.71 Nov 25 ending was good, didn't like the cousin lore for like half the movie, was more likable near the end when they get revenge lol See more Read all reviews
