Texas Chainsaw 3D poster shows us that evil wears many faces

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

First things first: The latest version of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE’s title has been truncated; now it’s simply TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D. Odd, but okay, we’ll go with it.

Secondly, Fangoria has just dropped the new, bloody good poster for the film, which you can see below. Leatherface has built himself quite a collection of flesh masks, wouldn’t you say? I’m digging it, although can’t say I’d want it hanging over my bed…

The Lionsgate film was directed by John Luessenhop, and stars Alexandra Daddario, Trey Songz, Tania Raymonde, Sue Rock, Scott Eastwood, Bill Moseley and Gunnar Hansen. It has a JANUARY 4, 2013 release date.

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…
