Based loosely on true events that inspired both the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the Oscar-winning The Silence of the Lambs, the new film will center around a handful of friends who become isolated in the company of a deadly clan of cannibals. The original film not only struck a deep chord with the youth culture of the time but revitalized the horror genre, influencing virtually all of the successful horror franchises that followed it, from New Line's own Nightmare on Elm Street series to The Blair Witch Project.

MovieWeb Reviews:

"Run, run, run. Chase, chase, chase. Kill, kill, kill. Redundant, redundant, redundant."

- B. Alan Orange

"Fans of the series should be pleased by a well-executed retelling of their favorite story while newcomers looking for an intelligent "slasher" picture will enjoy the dimensional characters and well-conceived plot."

- Derek May
