The first movie to go into wide release in 2013 misses, by mere days, a qualifying run for the 2012 Oscars. Thus the Shreveport-shot “Texas Chainsaw 3D” can’t enjoy the hype of the just-as-bloody “Django Unchained.” Well, there are other differences.
“Chainsaw 3D” — they no longer use “Massacre” in the title. It’s either implied or — well, they don’t want to give the movie away — picks up the “story” where other recent massacres have left off. “Chainsaw 3D” makes some effort to find a reason for Heather, played by a stunning specimen of bare-midriffed beauty, Alexandra Daddario, to drag three of her 20-something friends to Newt, Texas. She’s a surviving member of the slaying Sawyer clan, the inbreds who gave birth to and protected the hulking monster Leatherface. A brief opening sums up the “end” of the Sawyers, the lynch mob that rightfully burnt them all to a Texas BBQ crisp.
