Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, the seventh entry in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, has now received an official rating from the Motion Picture Association Of America (MPAA). The upcoming horror film will be rated 'R' for “strong, grisly violence and language throughout.” This probably won't be surprising to most fans of the franchise considering all six of it's predecessors received the same rating.
Rather than being featured in the same universe as the 2003 reboot and it's prequel, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D will be a sequel only to the 1974 original (poster seen below) ignoring the events of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.
Synopsis: A young woman named Heather travels to Texas to collect an inheritance; little does she know that an encounter with a chainsaw-yielding killer is part of the reward.
The film stars Alexandra Daddario as Heather, Dan Yeager as Bubba "Leatherface" Sawyer, and Bill Moseley as Drayton Sawyer. Directed by John Luessenhop. From Lionsgate, the company that brought you Saw 3D: The Final Chapter.
