‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D’ Trailer

Here’s the debut trailer for the upcoming Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, which is set to hit theaters January 4th, 2013. The film, directed by John Luessenhop, picks up after the horrific events of the first film, and explores what happened to Leatherface and his creepy family. Of course, there’s a new batch of diverse youngsters to terrorize in this one, plus it’ll be 3D, so there will be some chainsaws coming out of the screen no doubt.While I would love to see a film in this tired franchise be good, I still have some reservations with this one. I think that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a film of it’s time, and none of the sequels have managed to capture the atmosphere and sheer terror that the original brought us. Either way, I’m still hopeful this will be at least a little bit entertaining.  Here’s the synopsis and trailer:

Lionsgate’s TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D continues the legendary story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic left off in Newt, Texas, where for decades people went missing without a trace. The townspeople long suspected the Sawyer family, owners of a local barbeque pit, were somehow responsible. Their suspicions were finally confirmed one hot summer day when a young woman escaped the Sawyer house following the brutal murders of her four friends. Word around the small town quickly spread, and a vigilante mob of enraged locals surrounded the Sawyer stronghold, burning it to the ground and killing every last member of the family–or so they thought. Decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew she had. After embarking on a road trip with friends to uncover her roots, she finds she is the sole owner of a lavish, isolated Victorian mansion. But her newfound wealth comes at a price as she stumbles upon a horror that awaits her in the mansion’s dank cellars…
