Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III
Two college students driving coast to coast are lured off the main highway and onto a deserted Texas road. Here they are stalked by the menacing Leatherface and his demented family...a bizarre cannibalistic clan with blood on their hands and a feast on their minds. The students’ only chance for escape is a survivalist with enough firepower to blast Leatherface and the rest of the grisly predators to hell. A depraved shocker of intense terror from the gruesome beginning to the bloody finish.

Very Cool!!!
That was an excellent one.
Don't Believe the Hype
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
It was OK not really any better than it's predecessors in the chainsaw family movies. It started off OK then like I said after 20min of viewing I was bored out my mind with the bs imagination that this movies writers utilized, I wouldn't say the movie is awful i'll just say it isn't very entertaining if you're a fan of these types of movies.
This review is for the Uncut versionA couple on a road trip encounters a psychopathic group that eats human meat. Leatherface is back and dangerous once again. I really can't fathom at all the cracks they had to make a worthy sequel to a great horror movie. I don't consider the original to be a classic, but it's an excellent movie and very instrumental to the horror genre. Tobe screwed up his chance with the awful Texas Chainsaw massacre II. This one isn't quite as bad as TCM II, but that isn't exactly a compliment. They tried one more time with Return of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and that was it as far as the original four are concerned. They rebooted the series in 2003, somewhat efficiently. I did enjoy how this movie virtually ignores Texas Chainsaw Massacre II. This movie lacks suspense in key areas. I didn't feel any terror with the new family, only doldrums. To be perfectly honest, there isn't that much of a difference in the uncut version other than added gore scenes that were cut out. It's also hard to see at times because of how dark some of the scenes are. The gore is OK. We get nails hammered in people's hands, shotgun wounds, shot off ears and fingers. Leatherface cuts up human flesh, and more. I didn't give a damn about anybody in this film, which was a huge hindrance to my enjoyment. Kate Hodge is solid with what she has to do. Too bad I didn't care about her or her plight. She screams well and I do give her credit for becoming entertainingly deranged near the end. Ken Foree is a favorite of mine, but his portrayal of Benny is rather annoying. I got tired of his "Hey! It's me, Benny" "What is wrong with you people" type attitude. R.A. Mihailoff makes for a decent Leatherface, but nothing more. Viggo Mortensen has that Texas charm in spades, but he's not exactly a threatening looking villain. The ending is very anti-climatic, leaving much to be desired. I also had problems with the pacing at timesUncut version or not, this movie isn't that good. It's filled with mediocrity and a lack of overall excitement. I wouldn't call it horrible, but it's definitely a missed opportunity. If you're a big Leatherface fan, go give it a look. I wouldn't rush out of my way4.8/10
I have to admit, this film is giving more serious story and more serious characters, more than the second one. Well, actually, the movie itself is nothing that special, but it has some good stuff. It is a pretty unnecessary film. The story is nothing new, two characters stranded in the desert, they are captured by a cannibalistic family, nothing new, of course. Our main character is Michelle, played by Kate Hodge, she was solid, a scream queen that has some balls to give a good punch back to her opponents, we also have Ken Foree, a well known zombie slayer, here as a supporting character and a sidekick to Michelle. Leatherface was played by R.A. Mihailoff, well, he adds pretty good to a large, heavy-set frame of Leatherface and that's all we got. They didn't put any effort to this new Leatherface. Why new? I'll explain later in spoiler part. Other actors did a pretty good job, but some of them were predictable, just like the story itself. But, seeing Viggo Mortensen here damn that was interesting. Viggo was easily the best actor in the film. Give this guy an Oscar! Viggo was great. Music score, editing those were good.SPOILERS HERE: Now, there are some flaws in this film if you have seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986), you know that the entire Sawyer family is dead. Including Leatherface. So this means that the family, including Leatherface is pretty new. That's the major flaw here, because, who are these people? Is the plot really settled in Texas? It looks more like Nevada. There's no explanation about this "new" family and their Leatherface. Who are they? Are they copycats? Maybe a fans of Sawyer family. We get no explanation for that They are just cannibals and they accidentally have Leatherface and chainsaw in their house. Oh, well the possibilities of cinema It is interesting that the family also have an extremely ancient grandfather in wheelchairs who is he? Did they stole him from that circus meat house from the second film? Now, these flaws makes film this very, very weak. And one more thing I just saw all Texas Chainsaw Films, including the last one, the 3D one and something puzzles me In the opening of the film, which review you are currently reading, if you are reading spoilers. In the opening, it says that the main character from the 1974 original, Sally Hardesty died in the asylum. Now, if you didn't saw the 3D Texas Chainsaw take a look at it and see what I am talking about.SPOILER ENDS!
I avoided this film for many years, thinking it was awful from the poor score it got here, but really it isn't all that bad. Some people call it a reboot, but it is a sequel to the first film, it even has a recap of the what happened in the TCM, I don't know if that was just added in for continuity or if it was even in the original version. I like that the film followed the format of the first, it lacks the cheese and goofiness of TCM part 2. Even though the family is pretty sadistic, I couldn't help but laugh at what they said or how they acted with each other. The gas station attendant had some funny moments as well. The film is 1 hour and 24 minutes long, and was very entertaining, rarely a dull moment. The film is not as violent as part two was, it's mostly just blood splattering and and the odd severed head or face, we never see the chainsaw cut flesh, which is what everyone wants to see. Oh well, we have the newer films that aren't shy to show us what the title promises. Viggo Mortensen is in this film, it was neat to see his earlier work, I liked his line " Boy, they just keep getting dumber". Ken Foree is the character you end up rooting for. Leatherfaces final moment before the film ends, makes him out to be more inhuman then I once thought, then again this is the same guy who had a chainsaw rammed through him.You may ask why I gave this a 6 out of 10, well I don't think it's all that bad, it was a more enjoyable sequel than Part 2, at least from my first viewing, we'll see if that changes in time once I've viewed it a couple more times. It's not bad, and I don't get why fans of this cry about every new film in this franchise that comes out, can't you just enjoy the film, it's not art, it's a horror movie. Now I starting to lean into the hate for Texas chainsaw 3D, so I'm going to end the review now.
