Texas Chainsaw 3D-2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director John Luessenhop<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott’s Review #145<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviewed July 31, 2013<\/p>\n

Grade: B-<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are a horror buff (as I am) the reality that one must accept is that classic horror films will be remade or some incarnation of them will be made over time.<\/p>\n

That is the harsh reality. They will never hold a candle to the originals. That is also a reality. One can either accept them for what they are or resist them.<\/p>\n

Once again, another version of the classic 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre comes upon us.<\/p>\n

It is present times (2013), and the main character, Heather (Daddario), takes a road trip with her friends to Texas to collect an inheritance from a long-lost Grandmother she has never known.<\/p>\n

An interesting twist is the film begins where the original left off- the fact that sequels were made in between seems to be forgotten.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed how the film picks up where the original left off and brings history to the story.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the timeline makes no sense and is a complete impossibility- the heroine would chronologically be thirty-nine years old, but the character is in her early twenties.<\/p>\n

In typical horror fashion, the characters are all one-dimensional (sex-starved), and a token minority is thrown in for good measure, which has become standard in modern horror.<\/p>\n

The Texas police are portrayed as corrupt.<\/p>\n

Happily, there are brief cameos by two original cast members (Gunnar Hansen and Marilyn Burns) from the 1974 version, which is a great touch.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, this is a by-the-numbers modern horror film and quite forgettable, yet enjoyable for the ninety-minute length.<\/p>\n
