TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D Trailer Unleashes The Beast In Me!!
The Kidd here...
Lionsgate has finally given us our first look at their coming sequel to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, which will be hitting theatres in 3-D at the beginning of January. This isn't quite as good of a trailer as the teaser for Platinum Dunes' reboot a few years back, but it does operate at a very deliberate pace to sell John Luessenhop's TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D without giving away too many of the scares.
As it stands now, all you know is that a few unsuspecting youngsters are heading into Leatherface's territory, and he can't be happy about that. There is a formula to the set-up given here, even though the final film strays quite a bit from that path, but it's all about putting asses in the seats, right? Just the revving of the chainsaw is enough to pique interest... to see if another film has done right by Leatherface. We'll have to see if that winds up being the case come the new year.
I'm not quite sure why someone being chased would trap themselves inside a coffin though...

What I think would actually make for an interesting/funny horror movie? Change up the timing on the whole "group of teenagers happens upon a crazy murderous family"...
by TheSeeker7
In the perfect world of logic in the movies, all of these incidents happen totally independent of each other and in a nice, convenient sequential order. Instead, have another second group of teens happen across the environment right in the middle of when another group is still in the thick of it :p
-
How come the black guy never has a date with him in these movies. always the odd guy out. Aside from that it looks typical..
-
Nothing to see here. I just love the name. HA! BTW, shame on you if you go to a theater and pay to see this dreck. It's as bad as your pot money funding Columbian terrorism.

What a voice, love the Screaming Trees.

this is the first TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE film not to be shot in Texas.
-
You can tell from the trailer that this is going to be absolutely awesome in 3D, at one point the dude is totally pointing the chainsaw at the audience! How great is that! Imagine the creativity involved! OK, so it does look like a low budget cash in with an unnecessary gadget. I am still going to download it as soon as the Bluray rips become available.
-
...in horror movies, they like to introduce you to the victims first so you become emotionally invested in them, and then for their peril. If you introduce a new group half way through..,,the audience would dislike that second group and not care if they live or die. The movie then becomes flat because the audience does not connect with the victims. They might feel shock when the second group gets killed, but if they manage to escape and are then pursued, the audience would be annoyed by them.

Watching that trailer I thought three things, which unfortunately don't involve the quality of the actual film...
by Bill C.
1. "Hmm, the dark-haired girl's pretty...what's her name? Alexandra Daddario? Okay." 2. "Who the fuck is the doomed black guy?" (A couple of minutes later: "Trey Songz? Seriously? Never listened to his work...pfft. So fucking doomed.") 3. "Just once I want to see a brand name on the chainsaw, advertising be damned." Put them all together and I think you get "bleah."

So you sayin' the black dude ain't one of the attractive ones? Racial man, racial.

Wasn't part III shot outside Texas? I like to think that explained some of its issues. Part III never felt right.
-
it's dripping!!!
-
Also, it would be fucking gnarly if this ended up being a Cabin In The Woods spin off.
-
Your analogy would've made more sense to me if you had said crack money instead of pot money...I'm hardcore. Oops...gotta go!!

i suddenly am in the mood for a hard juicy chocolate bar. YUM!

YUMMY YUMMY BLACK COCK IN MY TUMMY!!!!

When in this set? The van might suggest late 70s.. But isnt this supposed to pick up shortly after the original? Giving hell to the sequels and remakes.. I can say even if i didnt like the "look" of them.. They were going for something... This doesnt even look like they tried.. Sad.. And not even a mention of how its tied in? Is gramma the Marilyn Burns character? Hoping for the best.. But it looks like it may be the worst yet.. Yes Next Generation was awful.. But something about the over the top weirdness made it memorable.. Dont see anything memorable here.

YAY!!!!

This movie does have some balls to come out after Cabin ITW pulled it's formula card.
by kindofabigdeal
-
Still may see it but, but probably on DVD for next Halloween.
-
for a low budget, tv-show-looking, lazy, uninspired hack-directed cash grab.
-
It looks too clean. Anyway, why don't they drop the whole "Texas" thing and have it where Leatherface travels around killing people in other places? The Hawaii Chainsaw Massacre. Have Leatherface chase around girls in hula skirts. Or, maybe set it in another country, The Switzerland Chainsaw Massacre.

Looks surprisingly terrible. Seems to have missed the distinctive TCM aesthetic in just abotu every possible way.
by kevred
It looks ultra-slick, cavernous/spacious, super clean, doesn't look period at all (I assumed those were present-day kids in a nicely-restored old van), and looks formulaic - of every other obvious slasher film, notably Friday the 13th, as opposed to TCM's own formula. In short, not only does nothing about that look good in any way, shape or form, but on top of that everything looks wrong for the material. First impression: a misfire at every level.
-
..so it's ok to not film a movie with the word 'Texas' in the title in the state of Texas.
-
Sure, there's a shot of someone with a mustache prior to that, stitching together the mask. I don't know about you but my grannies had to use depilatory cream on their upper lips; clearly this Granny's just gone feral. And probably they dropped the word Massacre because no one actually dies in the film. It's all just a hilarious misunderstanding! Granny's getting old is all.

January. When they release all their top shelf horror movies
by Mugato5150
Dude, this slasher shit was dead by the end of '80s. I'm not saying the torture porn or found footage shit is any better but the guy in the mask bit is played. Hellraiser, if you're going to remake '80s horror, Hellraiser is the way to go.
-
I've read it's supposed to explain what happened right after. If I recall, the original ended with chaos in that house and Leatherface crazily running in the street with his chainsaw... one of the most unsettling and awesome endings ever in my opinion. Now they're at 'Grandma's' clean awesome house what looks like years later... let me guess... Leatherface is hiding out, waiting to resurface... and kill him some more teens... I'd love for this to be good but I'm guessing it'll blow.
-
the girls look way too modern, from the hair and the clothes down to the dark haired girl's makeup. i'm wondering if it might just open as a direct continuation but eventually jumps ahead to modern day with these kids.

I'm a big horror movie fan, but Lord, this looks bad, except of course for the hot chick in the red bra.
by Clio
-
The original is a perfect gem of a film. The second is fun but pretty awful. Every other film in the franchise is shit. Though the one wherein the family turns out to be part of some wierd secret society is worth a watch, simply because it is bug-fucking-nuts.

A cast of bitches who look like they cut hair on Melrose.
-
and as such it looks like a big old load of cock. Fuck 3D with a rusty chainsaw.
-
and as suck it looks like a a big load of old cock. Fuck 3D with a rusty cocksaw. and fuck punctuation.
-
But I think that Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III was shot entirely in California. So this ain't the first non-Texas entry.

I like how 3D Forgives Studios From Having to Come Up With New Titles: "I know, we'll just call it Texas Chainsaw 3D"
by ass clown
Why pay people to be creative or to even make good movies. Just give the people 3D blood, tits, and deaths which will make everyone ecstatic about spending $13-15 on a shitty movie. If the plot sucks, make it 3D so that people dont notice. Throw in a hot naked 3D girl and the movie is a sure fire hit.
-
Notice how the lid shakes when she gets in it. This looks terribly low-budget and un-atmospheric. Major fail here.

Seems VERY Ingenuine...Not Scary...Reeks of Cash Grab
by Joey_Redballs
Like Harry said...it's the first TCM not shot in Texas. It doesn't even have "massacre" in the title. I smell some P.C. pussified marketing, sadly influenced by real horrors that have occurred that were called "massacres" by the media. So...no Texas...no massacre...no family? Just a Leatherface faker. Yes, that's not Leatherface. It appears the movie takes place in modern times. If this is a sequel to the original or remake, Leatherface's character would be possibly 1-armed, and definitely 70-years-old. The trailer's mood\atmosphere seemed neither dark nor gritty. And let's not forget...it's in 3-D...greedy cash grab. I'm sure it's better than "The Next Generation", but from the trailer it seems more like a sequel to that movie than any other.
-
Sent it in the late 30's, early 40's... Find out how some crazy family shit...
-
Can't be a sequel to Bay's remake. Leatherface had no nose and only one arm in that one. Well, unless this is not the original Leatherface. Sequel to the original? We already had a bunch of those. So independent copycat killer? Inspired by Leatherface? Cousin to Leatherface? Son of Leatherface?

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?! are they not even trying anymore? at least bay's two were period, they had some style...THIS looks like scream 5 staring a leatherface knock off.
by la te ral us
seriously!! who was the guy with the beard?? it aint fuckin leatherface goddammit!!

I had no idea that was going to be a weird satire / comedy when I rented it years ago....lol what a fucking depressing let down. I get what tobe was going for but for me I'd rather he would have played it straight.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A CHEAP-AS-FUCK DTV PIECE OF SHIT!!! THE LAST GREAT CHAINSAW MOVIE WAS PART 2 IN 1986!!!FACT!!!
by CreepyThinMan
-
see - some people liked it lol
-
Script leaked and it's on IMDB. If you don't want it spoiled, don't read. Kay? Gonna spoil it. Keep scrolling. This is is where I'm going to spoil the ending. The girl is convinced she's actually part of the family. She calls Leatherface 'Cuz and joins him in the end. I'm not using the 'Cuz thing as a metaphor, that's an actual line in the script.
-
This movie needs to be filmed in found footage format to get the attention of any of our pea brains.
-
....ridiculously loooong and weird scenes of freaks at a table laughing menacingly at their bound guest who is scared shitless
-
When did this start? It sounds idiotic.
-
But that's business as usual in Hollywood.
-
There are filmmakers out there with the potential of making greatness and they spend money on this shit...Tobe, Look what they've done.
-
So i'm pretty sure it's gonna suck
-
Sept. 14, 2012, 9:23 a.m. CST
yeah i'm curious what's going on...Leatherface lost an arm in the first remake..I'm assuming this is a different fella
by Poptard_JD
-
...it's a hunch.
-
If memory serves he's not the "single man out" he's actually the lead character's boyfriend... meaning he's got the 2nd highest role. If anything -- assuming you know the dynamic of the character from the trailer makes the comments themselves a bit racist. Regarding the "sequel" concept --- it's a direct continuation of the events in the first film - in present day 2012 -- how is that not a direct sequel? It ignores 2, 3, Return and the remake/prequel to the remake. It's not as though "direct continuation" means it has to pick up right in 1974... The trailer looked very uninspired however and the title is a joke.

How the fuck can Leatherface sneak up on his victims in the first place?
by Christian Sylvain
He's a tall fat guy with a heavy, buzzing chainsaw. Stevie wonder could see him coming a mile away.
