What is Leatherface up to in this first official still from Texas Chainsaw 3D?

TC3d title 656

Just the other day we shared with you an extremely effective poster for TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D, and now the promotional train has dropped off a new goodie: the first official still from the flick.  It’s ominous, orange, and creepy.  And not just because of the chainsaw.  Don’t forget that you can click to make the picture bigger.

Personally, slasher flicks have never quite been my cup of horror tea.  But that doesn’t mean I don’t dig this picture, because I do.  Nothing particularly action-packed or horrific is going on per se, but it does incite my curiousity.  Which is exactly what promotional efforts are meant to do.  So… woohoo for TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D.

If such flicks are exactly your cup of tea, then make sure to check out the latest entry in Leatherface’s ongoing saga of inbred slasher fun come January 4th, 2013.

TC 3d first still

Plot recap: The film 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.
