For example, instead of picking up Leatherface's psychotic brother, the doomed teenagers instead come upon a traumatized survivor who shoots herself in their van. The film gave a backstory to the character of Leatherface , giving him a real name Thomas Brown Hewitt and a possible reason for wearing his skin mask, namely a skin disease that had caused his nose to rot away.
Fans and critics had a mixed reaction to the film, but it was financially successful enough to lead to a prequel. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning explored the roots of Leatherface's family and delved into their past. Leatherface's first mask is featured, as well as his first chainsaw murder.
A variation of the infamous dinner scene, omitted from the remake, was included here. A third film featuring the remake's continuity was rumored to have been planned, but producer Brad Fuller has recently said that they have absolutely no plans in the future to continue the franchise.

Texas Chainsaw 3D kicks off shortly after the events of the original film. The residents of Newt, Texas are furious about what the Sawyer family did, so they take it upon themselves to murder every single one of them - except for one, baby Edith Sawyer. The movie picks back up when Edith is all grown up, goes by the name Heather Miller and knows absolutely nothing about her heritage.
The film begins in and then jumps forward to the present day, or A little simple math will quickly reveal that that would mean Heather should be close to The movie begins with a bunch of obnoxious high school students who wind up lost in the woods instead of at prom.
Leatherface is an improvement, but not by much. All the carnies want is a moment of your time and the change from your soft pretzel. The carnival's gyrating attractions and fool's gold sparkle may be Vegas to the latest crop of teenagers, but to the barkers, it's home.
So, when the meddling kids inevitably meddle and see something heinous, their terror carries a tinge of responsibility — that's what they get for gawking after the geek show. Hooper had always wanted to do a " carnival movie " and his excitement glows on the screen like so much candy-colored fluorescence.
Cinematographer Andrew Laszlo, fresh from "The Warriors," shoots it all in lavish anamorphic widescreen, flaring even the farthest bulbs into pink supernovas. But don't let the studio budget fool you — there's no mistaking the controlled hysteria of a hundred antique robots coming to life. Some swivel. Some rock in tiny chairs. Others claw with broken limbs at props long lost.
The best one laughs, closing out the movie with the blackest punchline of all. Universal didn't get its hit, but at least Hooper got away with this.
Everything wrong with this is right there in the trailer : "Witness the birth of fear. How long has this family been at it? How have they never been caught? What's up with the big one? Leatherface, adopted name Thomas Hewitt, draws first blood over a layoff.
His chainsaw, horror's backwater Excalibur, is just what he steals on his last day. This is as close as any "Massacre" gets to the clockwork doldrums of so many other slasher franchises, including the two "Massacres" explicitly designed to reinvent it as such. Threatened subtext, like the sheriff formerly known as Charlie Hewitt acquiring a taste for his fellow man as an abandoned POW, is just an excuse for R. Lee Ermey to play his hits. Even that committed performance, like everything else in "The Beginning," can't help but draw flies.
Ermey gets the fatal line, when waxing historic about the cannibal clan's newfound might: "By God, they'll remember what we did. For better and worse, it's much harder to forget "Texas Chainsaw 3D. There were several other Sawyers hanging out in that farmhouse and they all died in a Waco-inflected siege, save Leatherface and a baby immune to screams and small motors.
That may be an infamously cheap shot — co-writer Adam Marcus explained that earlier drafts took place in the '90s — but it's only the most obvious of the film's many miscalculations. Those serial-killing, cannibalistic Sawyers are rebranded as misunderstood folk heroes.
The shared blood between Daddario and her man-eating cousin, an obvious nature vs. Feature Film 8. IMDb user rating average 1 1.
