Texas Chainsaw 3D Review.

Watched Texas Chainsaw 3D Starring Alexandra Daddario, Dan Yeager, Tremaine “ Trey Songz” Neverson , Tania Raymonde , and especial appearances of Gunnar Hanson and Marilyn Burns from the original 1974 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This film is a direct sequel to Tobe Hooper's 1974 classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The film has an interesting concept and it’s an immediate sequel that starts with footage from the original film and then veers right into new Chainsaw canon. I thought it was a decent modern horror film and it was occasionally scary and entertaining. It does have a few jumps from your seat scary moments, but overall it’s pretty good and way better than Michael Bay’s 2003 remake starring Jessica Biel and the 2006 prequel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. The film does have its flaws especially in the script and dialogue which contain unexplained chronological events which it does not show how much time has actually passed since the original film. The film does suffers from a formulaic and cliché of a typical modern horror film structure. The film has a few decent special effects. The 3D work was modestly fun, and this film outshines most of the sequels and remake that have been made. The film’s director John Luessenhop did a decent job on delivering some jolts as well as much gruesomeness. I really enjoyed the story more because it deals more with the killer than the actual kills and the morality of the story that transform the vengeful leatherface into a sympathetic psychotic antihero. Alexandra Daddario who portrays the lead final girl was actually very good and she is super hot to watch on screen. But, the supporting actors were just plain terrible actors. Tremaine “ Trey Songz” Neverson was just terrible and I think he should stick with singing. Tania Raymonde, another horrible actress with a hot body and no acting chops. Scott Eastwood the son of Clint Eastwood needs to take some acting lessons from daddy. Overall, the film was decent despite all its flaws, but it delivers better than any other follow-up to the original film. I have to admit I had a lot of fun watching it. I will give it a C+.
