Right, I'm not against remakes / prequels / sequels if there is a decent script, good actors, good score and good cinematography, after all John Carpenters "The Thing" was a remake and look at the classic that turned out to be.
So I settled down with TC3D and a big bag of liquorice allsorts not knowing a thing about this movie and thought "keep an open mind"
The first few minutes lulled me into a false sense of security, Oooh a sequel set directly after the events of the original I thought this could have legs, and then, my god how wrong I was!!! Where do I even start?
- When did the Sawyers extended family turn up in the original? before I knew it there were psycho hillbillies everywhere blasting away for all they were worth
- Were there any actors in this film?
- some of the Characters must have secretly invented time travel, they looked the same age even though the original happened almost 40 years ago......and there no way Alexandra Daddarios character was 40+
- Heather was Leatherface's Cousin FFS!
- Heather, having seen all her friends slaughtered by her psychotic, chainsaw wielding cuz, teams up with him at the end and spends the rest of her life caring for him....
- Also how stupid do you have to be to trust a hitchhiker, you met a couple of hours ago, leaving them alone in your newly acquired mansion filled with silverware and valuables
I cant even put into words how awful this film is.....I did give it 2 marks as there is two bits of gore I enjoyed, but there was no tension, no plot, no character development, a cameraman who was obsessed with female butts and no point. Watching this film was a chore another classic example of a dried up, unimaginative film industry treating its audience with contempt......avoid at all costs
