Details

Two college students driving coast to coast are lured off the main highway and onto a deserted Texas road. Here they are stalked by the menacing Leatherface and his demented family...a bizarre cannibalistic clan with blood on their hands and a feast on their minds. The students’ only chance for escape is a survivalist with enough firepower to blast Leatherface and the rest of the grisly predators to hell. A depraved shocker of intense terror from the gruesome beginning to the bloody finish.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
devanteemanuel It was OK not really any better than it's predecessors in the chainsaw family movies. It started off OK then like I said after 20min of viewing I was bored out my mind with the bs imagination that this movies writers utilized, I wouldn't say the movie is awful i'll just say it isn't very entertaining if you're a fan of these types of movies.
Andrew Gold No matter how many sequels, reboots, spinoffs, or rehashes The Texas Chainsaw gets, none will compare to the original. That's a given. But there are some installments in Leatherface's interesting journey throughout the decades that are solid enjoyable movies on their own, such as the 2003 remake and this one. Here I feel like the campiness of TCM2 met the thrills of the original TCM in a healthy middle ground. There are some ridiculous one-liners, but they're placed fittingly unlike the second movie where the comedy felt forced and sloppy. The acting in the movie is above average too, with your standard "now famous but previously in a crappy horror sequel" actor to boot. The main reason this is better than its predecessor is because it actually has suspense; not a lot of it but it's there. The creepy moments somewhat resemble scenes from the original but none of it feels rehashed. There are characters you can root for, and Leatherface is actually (kind of) scary again. There's also a satisfying climax, fit with heavy metal and cheesy lines that belong in a Marlon Wayans movie. It's just a fun popcorn horror movie with some gore, a couple thrills, and a decent amount of laughs. All in all, a movie is meant to entertain, and for the most part, Texas Chainsaw Massacre III did exactly that. Worth a watch for hardcore slasher fans.
callanvass This review is for the Uncut versionA couple on a road trip encounters a psychopathic group that eats human meat. Leatherface is back and dangerous once again. I really can't fathom at all the cracks they had to make a worthy sequel to a great horror movie. I don't consider the original to be a classic, but it's an excellent movie and very instrumental to the horror genre. Tobe screwed up his chance with the awful Texas Chainsaw massacre II. This one isn't quite as bad as TCM II, but that isn't exactly a compliment. They tried one more time with Return of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and that was it as far as the original four are concerned. They rebooted the series in 2003, somewhat efficiently. I did enjoy how this movie virtually ignores Texas Chainsaw Massacre II. This movie lacks suspense in key areas. I didn't feel any terror with the new family, only doldrums. To be perfectly honest, there isn't that much of a difference in the uncut version other than added gore scenes that were cut out. It's also hard to see at times because of how dark some of the scenes are. The gore is OK. We get nails hammered in people's hands, shotgun wounds, shot off ears and fingers. Leatherface cuts up human flesh, and more. I didn't give a damn about anybody in this film, which was a huge hindrance to my enjoyment. Kate Hodge is solid with what she has to do. Too bad I didn't care about her or her plight. She screams well and I do give her credit for becoming entertainingly deranged near the end. Ken Foree is a favorite of mine, but his portrayal of Benny is rather annoying. I got tired of his "Hey! It's me, Benny" "What is wrong with you people" type attitude. R.A. Mihailoff makes for a decent Leatherface, but nothing more. Viggo Mortensen has that Texas charm in spades, but he's not exactly a threatening looking villain. The ending is very anti-climatic, leaving much to be desired. I also had problems with the pacing at timesUncut version or not, this movie isn't that good. It's filled with mediocrity and a lack of overall excitement. I wouldn't call it horrible, but it's definitely a missed opportunity. If you're a big Leatherface fan, go give it a look. I wouldn't rush out of my way4.8/10
Ben Larson The writer of Midnight Express apologized to Turkey for the negative depiction of the country in the movie. Oliver Stone, who wrote the screenplay, also apologized.Well, someone needs to apologize to Texas for the depiction in this film. I have never seen such ignorant backwoods garbage as this family.As to the movie, it was not worth the time it took to watch it. I did not see one drop of blood. It was more noise than anything, and, of course, a bunch of inbred cretins.I really would like to know why this film was banned in Iceland, Finland and the UK. There was nothing in here to give it an R. It was just lame.Can you believe that Viggo Mortensen was in this film
