A horror icon has recently been reborn in John Luessenhop’s grisly follow-up, TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D. The film is a direct sequel to Tobe Hooper’s malevolent and masterful 1974 flick, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, picking up hours after the genre classic before a modern setting takes us on a journey of more mayhem with the chainsaw-wielding maniac, Leatherface (Read our review HERE).
TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D has certainly been a surprise at the box-office, taking over $20 million in it’s first weekend alone on a budget of $8 million. However, it’s second week saw the film take a steep drop from the No. 1 spot, all the way to No. 8. Still, the film is well in profit and a sequel is expected early next year.
