The TCM franchise hasn't had a great movie since the original, so no surprise, this one sucks too.
It opens with a montage of kills from the original, except with loud music stings every time Leatherface pops up just to remind you it's a crappy modern horror movie right off the bat. The main story is about a baby who survived a slaughter at Leatherface's house after the events of the first film. She's all grown up now and she and her friends are taking a trip to Texas to claim her inheritance; little does she know she's Leatherface's long lost cousin. Needless to say, when she and her friends show up, bodies start piling up.
On the way there, they pick up a hitchhiker who looks like an Abercrombie & Fitch model (a clear homage to the original). Then they arrive to an enormous luxury mansion, which now belongs to Alexandra Daddario's character. So naturally, the first thing they do is leave the house in the care of the hitchhiker they just met. I can't stress enough how dumb this movie is.
Everyone looks like they just walked out of their makeup trailer. Nothing is grimy and authentic like in the first TCM. It all feels so phony. Not to mention the terrible acting, lame kills, and complete lack of nudity. They tease Alexandra Daddario's glorious tits and there are some good low-angle ass shots, but that's not nearly enough for a movie this bad. I mean, give us SOMETHING.
If you're drunk or high enough, there are some good laughs here. Otherwise, I can't think of a single reason why you should watch this steaming pile of trash.
