Review of Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990) by Jason D — 15 Oct 2008

This is a far departure from the first two Texas Chainsaw films, but dammit, I love this one to death. Another crazed family (led by none other than old Aragon himself, Viggo Mortenson, in a pretty chilling role), who takes in the last surviving member of the Sawyer clan (none other than Leatherface), and continues to slay, dismember, and cook helpless victims.

The victims in question are a lost California couple, as well as one of the luckiest men in the world, the almighty Ken Foree, as a survivalist (seriously, he looks like he dies 3 times in this film, but keeps coming back!!).

Jeff Burr took over the direction of this film from Tobe Hooper, but if you ask me, Burr is just as nuts and as good a filmmaker. There is plenty of bloodshed and the cast is great to watch as well, easily making this one of my favorite part 3's out there (and there aren't many, folks).
