I rented this movie and had extremely low expectations. The first Texas Chainsaw massacre is one of my favorites ever and so I am always hoping to find a movie as interesting. But after 2 (which was somewhat interesting but too over-the-top and with gimmicky "new villiais" and with some very silly acting.) But i was very impressed with this film. It manages to recapture the gritty grainy visual style of the original and also some of the frenetic sadism. The performances are all great and Henkel mangaes to keep most of the original story and adds enough unfamiliar twists to it to make this a far better follow up than 2. It is flawed in that the guy that plays leatherface while he is a good actor is very silly looking they should have spent more time making him hideous. And also the Wayne Bell score is very disappointing given his score for the original. There's no gore but there wasn't any in the original either.
