Texas Chainsaw 3D` tacky yet gory

Film: ‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’; Cast: Alexandra Daddario, Dan Yeager, Trey Songz, Scott Eastwood, Tania Raymonde, Shaun Sipos, Keram Malicki-Sanchez, James MacDonald, Thom Barry, Paul Rae, and Marilyn Burns; Director: John Luessenhop.

The two stars that ‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’ gets is because everything is relative. Given the genre, the look and feel of the film, it deserves this and nothing less. 

The prologue establishes that the current saga is directly linked to the 1974 released Tobe Hooper`s original ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’. The latest one in the franchise, picks up right where the ‘...Massacre’ left off, with a fair-minded sheriff (Thom Barry) arriving at a farmhouse to arrest a member of the cannibalistic Sawyer clan, headed by "Leatherface" for the killings. 

He`s soon followed by a gun trotting mob from the neighbouring town, led by Burt (Paul Rae), who later becomes mayor of the town. The mob burns down the farmhouse and kills its inhabitants.
