This Spring, Lionsgate Films is bringing Texas Chainsaw 3D to Blu-ray. The pulse-pounding horror film stars Alexandra Daddario, Tania Raymonde, Scott Eastwood and Dan Yeager, and continues the story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper's 1974 horror classic left off. Texas Chainsaw 3D arrives on Blu-ray on April 30th.

Synopsis: In Newt, Texas, people have been going missing without a trace for decades. Years later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young girl named Heather (Daddario) discovers that she has inherited a sprawling Texas estate from an unknown grandmother. To claim her estate, Heather goes on a road trip with her friends to Newt, but soon learns that wealth comes at a price when she discovers the horror that waits in the cellar of her new mansion.

Texas Chainsaw 3D also stars Tremaine 'Trey Songz' Neverson (Grammy-nominated R&B star), Shaun Sipos (Final Destination 2), Keram Malicki-Sanchez (American History X), James MacDonald (Phone Booth), Thom Barry (Cold Case), Paul Rae (True Grit), Richard Riehle (Office Space) and four cast members from previous installments of the franchise: original Leatherface Gunnar Hansen, Marilyn Burns, John Dugan and Bill Moseley.

*****************************************************

This movie was like a terrible '90s horror film... and I kinda loved it for that reason. It's certainly not the low point of the Chainsaw series. Bad horror film aficionados may agree with me here.

What's up with the classic cast commentary? rotfl

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

I'll get it.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

Hear nothing but mediocre to terrible things, but upon reviewing my horror collection, I have a bunch of other junk that I love, so why not?

classic cast commentary sounds like it could be fun if nothing else

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

I'm eager to see it but based on the reviews of the movie it won't be a release week pick-up for me like the previous installment was.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

i'm anxious to see this just because of the shit i've heard about it thus far. that commentary might be worth a cheap pick-up down the road if nothing else.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

no unrated cut = no sale.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

Well, once you've seen the film you'll understand why I think the commentary is a joke.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

I wonder why the hell they are not releasing it unrated as I heard that an unrated cut exists? It's not like people are going to rush out and double dip on this one six months from now.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

I'm hoping a cheap HK blu/dvd of the unrated cut release might get released.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

I didn't like the film at all, but I own every other film in the series.

Maybe if I find this one at a low enough price :)

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

no insert, no sale!

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

I haven't seen the film yet. But for those asking about an unrated version. It appears Lionsgate is screwing fans over by making the unrated version an itunes download exclusive at the moment, unless further specs are released about the blu-ray release.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

Well, that's fucking lame.

I had a nice talk with Dan Yeager over the weekend at Monsterpalooza (he's a client of my buddy) and he told me about a lot of footage that was cut from the film. He said he wishes they'd do a producer's cut of the film.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

violence and/or expository scenes?

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

Should be this because I don't think any of this could actually make this movie good.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

No.

Alexandra Daddario showing her tits would've made the movie good. To quote my friend, it would've made an F film turn into an A.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

no tits, no sale!

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

That's what the internet's for. I guess you could also use it to watch people get killed with chainsaws in Mexico but those videos usually aren't HD.

Since it wasn't well received, I'll just hold off till the price drops a lot.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

Both. We didn't get too into details, but he said there was a scene with Leatherface carrying his grandmother's corpse downstairs to his lair, more gore with the guy getting sawed in half, A LOT more graphic footage of the guy who gets his face cut off. He sounded disappointed they cut it down so much.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

so was the excised gore the filmmaker's decision, or influenced by the MPAA?

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

He didn't really say; maybe he didn't even know.

Almost forgot... he also said there was a cut scene that showed Moseley making phone calls to all the other family members who - in the TC - seem to appear out of thin air as we segue out of the original film's ending. He also mentioned that a cut shot from the kitchen showed the truck driver at the end of the first film strung up on a meat hook.

Basically, it sounds like a much better film was shot, but edited down to shit.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

According to Amazon, this comes out May 14th.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

Amazing how many times this happens. Why shoot all of these scenes in the first place?

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

it's called a shooting script for a reason ... ;)

so who's the finger pointing directed at? the producers? the studio? the MPAA for sure... nowadays 'filmmaking by committee' is the standard, yet with so many cooks in the kitchen shit like this tends to happen.
