Jessica Biel leads a cast of rising stars in the remake of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”
The 1974 original introduced the world to a new genre of horror films.
It also paved the way for more horror all-stars like Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, and Freddy Krueger. Along with Michael Bay (“Armageddon,” “Pearl Harbor”), new director Marcus Nispell brings the cult classic back to life in a modern, spine-chilling light.
“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” tells the story of five young people traveling to Dallas for a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert.
While passing through Travis County, Texas, the group stumbles upon a young woman wandering in a daze. After picking up the woman, they learn from her terrified mumbling that she has been a witness to things they couldn’t possibly imagine.
After the woman abruptly commits suicide, they go on a search for the law in Travis County.
What they find instead they will never forget, a chainsaw-swinging madman known to the world as Leatherface.
Much has changed in filmmaking since 1974’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The difference in this film and its remake shows that advance in all of its terrifying glory.
Audiences can expect a film of gory, nail-biting, spine-tingling intensity unlike anything they have seen this season.
The remake carries its name with pride, brings the horror genre to new heights and absolutely will not disappoint.
