it be difficult to identify a horror franchise that be more creatively bankrupt than the texas chainsaw massacre series . friday the 13th at least ups the body count and devise interest way to kill people and nightmare on elm street have cool effect lade dream sequence and but what do texas chainsaw massacre have represent a guy with a skin face mask and a chainsaw chasing people around the wood . that about it . for a ponderous example of why this franchise be go nowhere fast and just take a gander at the third entry in the series and leatherface represent texas chainsaw massacre iii . the plot to this entry be inconsequential and but if you want the reader digest version represent michelle ( kate hodge ) and ryan ( william butler ) be drive cross country through texas and make the bad mistake of stop at a gas station run by peep tom psycho alfredo ( tom everett ) who get put out with the couple and force them to flee or meet with the business end of his shotgun . just before leave the gas station in a hurry and they be give a shortcut route through the back country by drifter tex ( viggo mortenson and yes that viggo mortenson ) . they make the unwise decision of take the route and end up with their car break down and a giant guy with a chainsaw and poor manner when it come to greet guest on their tail . they run into ( literally ) survivalist benny ( ken foree ) who quickly become chainsaw bait also . with both vehicle out of commission and and a power tool that be just itch to be cover in the thick red stuff right behind and they quickly begin wander the wood and find a farm house contain ( imagine this ) crazy people . mayhem ensues and unhappiness abounds and lot of scream occurs . oh yeah and and people die . leatherface be low common denominator horror film make represent it take a familiar premise and change a few of the character and juggle the death a bit and and slap a roman numeral on the end and call it a film . it be an almost complete rehash of the first texas chainsaw massacre in content and lack any significant scare and have character that be as thin a rice paper and and look like it be make for about what i currently have in my wallet . michelle and ryan be almost non existent character and they be body for the slaughter and that be it . benny be a little more entertaining and but not much . the villainous family be all freaks sure and but by round three and the ability for their behavior to shock be pretty much go . i suppose it be a sad commentary on pop culture when the gruesome act of despicable people on film have become so blasé a to be boring and but that be where it stand . it be also interest that even though this film barely clock in at an hour and twenty minute and it feel like it go on for an eternity . the film have no visual interest and it just random wood photograph with competence and and that be it . no style and no flair and it just there . for those gorehounds who view these film for it extensive bloodletting and leatherface be sure to disappoint . even in it unrated version and most of the grisly stuff be off screen and so those in search of the horror film equivalent of the money shot will be unsatisfied . yeah and viggo mortenson be in it and and he okay and but nobody win any award here . kate hodge varies between decent and terrible and and r. a. mihailoff and who essay the role of leatherface and doesn not have to work too hard to collect his paycheck . more or less and this be just an attempt by a film studio to cash in on the name texas chainsaw massacre with no real meat on the bone of this sequel . you have be warn .
