TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D [2013]

Texas Chainsaw 3D is yet another instalment in the jumbled list of Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots or in short shitfests.
In an interesting move, it wisely ignores everything but the 1974 original and picks up right where it left off   Being a huge fan of the first film, it sent creepy sentimental chills down my spine seeing the original house in all it's glory.  Then not even 5 minutes in, they burnt it down and everything went to shit.  Instead of paying homage to the original it feels more like a watered down insult with new character developments and twists that are handled ever so poorly.
