It's been 50 years since the release of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, hailed as one of the most important and impactful horror films ever made. The sequels? Not so much.

While Tobe Hooper would direct another sequel, the true sequelification of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre wouldn't happen until the third entry. After the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise started to slow down, New Line Cinemas decided to buy the rights to Leatherface and his cannibalistic clan to jumpstart a new tentpole franchise.

The result was Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, which was arguably masssacred by the MPAA and substantially tamed down for theatrical release. What was left was a film that disappointed fans and disinterested the moviegoing public. Years later, after an endless horde of requels and reboots to the iconic classic, does this forgotten third entry have any meat on its bones? Let's find out as we put the teeth in terror (whatever that means).
