Texas Chainsaw 3 D with a title has certain expectations to it. 3 D Chainsaw is the film that I expected it to be! I believe the movie will not get an academy award. What worked in the movie: The 3 D effects were actually good. The Chainsaw comes right at you! Other films with 3 D effects were fuzzy and Chainsaw was able to clean up the 3 D effects. My friend and I got a headache after the movie. Chainsaw 3 D blends the old 1974 Chainsaw massacre with C G I into the current movie and story. The old and new has a great segue. 3 D Chainsaw storyline shows how family feuds start with family backing family. The family theme creates a potential for a part two. What does not work for Chainsaw 3 D is a run of the mill script with the same plot devices, gore etc and ending which makes the film predictable. I give Chainsaw a seven out of ten because of the 3 D effects.
