Leatherface is back! Watch First Trailer For Texas Chainsaw 3D

Legends never dies, but sometimes you wish they would but seven films been and gone an horror legend is about to return for an 8th time the sulking son from hell Leatherface  has riffled up the chainsaw for Texas Chainsaw 3D and the official first trailer has arrived!

Just when you thought it was safe to say The infamous Sawyer family all perished in vigilante killings by locals away back in 1974 after the original incident 38 years on the mask and chainsaw are ready for terrorize a new generation. A young woman called Heather discovers she has inherited land thanks to an unheard relative together with her friends the embark on the road trip to visit the land to find a new house has been built.The first steps into the house just might be their last as an unwelcome guest awaits in the basement.

In the era of remake, reboots, prequels are all the range Texas Chainsaw 3D isn’t a remake of  the original nor the 186 follow up this one does seem to take a slight direction away. This feels more a straight up slasher though the intensity, scares and to some extent some of the familiar traits from the franchise are there.

How good will this be? This will be a film only true hardcore fans of franchise and Horrorphiles can truly answer. When you bring 3D gimmickry into the equation you ask yourself did they remake or reboot this to benefit the franchise or just the sole purpose to $$$ nothing more? I am a horror fan I do love the Texas Chainsaw  but I smell a dead rat here though if this film does help introduce Horror to a new generation of fans then Texas Chainsaw 3D will bring me some satisfaction.

Lionsgate’s TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D continues the legendary story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic left off in Newt, Texas, where for decades people went missing without a trace.  The townspeople long suspected the Sawyer family, owners of a local barbeque pit, were somehow responsible.  Their suspicions were finally confirmed one hot summer day when a young woman escaped the Sawyer house following the brutal murders of her four friends.  Word around the small town quickly spread, and a vigilante mob of enraged locals surrounded the Sawyer stronghold, burning it to the ground and killing every last member of the family – or so they thought.

Decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew she had.  After embarking on a road trip with friends to uncover her roots, she finds she is the sole owner of a lavish, isolated Victorian mansion. But her newfound wealth comes at a price as she stumbles upon a horror that awaits her in the mansion’s dank cellars.

Texas Chainsaw 3D will be splattering its way into UK& Irish cinemas on 4th January 2013. The film stars Alexandra Daddario, Scott Eastwood, Bill Moseley and Dan Yeager.
