Texas Chainsaw Review and Summary



                                                                
This movie review is on this movie alone, and not this compared to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  This is mainly because I haven't seen the original yet.  I'll give it points for a weird ending and sympathy shifts.

Summary:

So this movie starts where one of Leatherface's  targets escapes and gets the sheriff to the Sawyer family house.  The family was going to hand Jed (Leather face) over to police but the wonderful townsfolk decide to shoot and burn up the whole house and family.  One of the men finds a baby and woman and kicks the dying woman holding the child and she becomes unconscious,  so he and his wife can take the kid as their own (most disturbing thing in this movie).  This baby grows up as Heather and she eventually moves out and starts her own life.
She finds out the truth about her family after she inherits a big fancy house in the hick town she's from, from her recently deceased grandma( the woman who was kicked in the face).  Heather, her boyfriend, her best friend, her best friend's boyfriend, and a hitch hiker end up in the beautiful house. So eventually they find out they aren't alone in the house.
Everyone ends up dying except Heather because she didn't read the letter from her Grandmother explaining everything (stupid young people).  For example, her psycho cousin lives in the basement and doesn't like strangers. Jed doesn't know that she's family and tries to kill her.  He ends up chasing her to a crowded fair swinging his chainsaw around and killing some people in his way. He runs off back home and the mayor (the guy who had everyone kill the Sawyer family) decides to kill Jed and Heather. 
It was actually a happy ending...
Jed saves her once he finds out they're cousins and kills the mayor.  So they go home and she makes him food.  The sheriff let's them go to make up for the rebellious slaughter of Jed's family.
I know I shouldn't...but I feel for Leather face in this movie.  He has mental issues and had to witness his whole family being slaughtered because of it.  Its really sad.  But he ends up with family again.  So there could be another movie.
Was it scary?  Nope.

Was there lots of gore?  You bet your sweet bippy.
