| About.comStaci Layne WilsonThe blade is dull, but there's just enough to make it worth watching. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumDirector Burr should never have shouted 'Cut.' |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.I much preferred it over the second film... |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanLacks the clarity and identity of the earlier 1974 and 1986 installments. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonIt's certainly a cut above the standard late-'80s horror film, though hardly up to the level of Tobe Hooper's original. |
| User ReviewDavidI don't care what the critic's say TCM3 is almost as good as the original |

| User ReviewLUCA ZLeatherface had the greatest trailer of all time (Leatherface meets the Lady of the Lake, remember that?). Maybe that's why nearly everyone was let down by the film itself. Most people view Leatherface as an unwelcome addition to the legacy that is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. No, it's not as good as the original or the sequel, but what do you expect when Tobe Hooper's not on board? However, if you do not compare it to its predecessors, it stands alone as a fun flick. It's at least watchable (unlike the Matthew McConaughey "remake"). The only thing I really don't like about it is the lack of continuity. The David Schow script is great, it just leaves out some needed information. In essence, this is the first in a long line of remakes. The director, Jeff Burr, does succeed in creating tension. My heart still pounds every time when they stop to fix that flat tire. Those far-off squeaking sounds are unnerving. The cast does well also. No one has the energy of Bill Moseley (Chop Top from TCM 2), but he's a tough act to follow. What they do have is horror favorite Ken Foree. Foree is always great. I don't care whether he's in Dawn of the Dead or The Phantom of the Mall, he's great. And you must give credit to Viggo Mortensen. He's come a long way from b horror to star in the Lord of the Rings. When it comes down to it, TCM 3 is worthy of a bit more praise. |
