Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990)
Two college students driving coast to coast are lured off the main highway and onto a deserted Texas road. Here they are stalked by the menacing Leatherface and his demented family...a bizarre cannibalistic clan with blood on their hands and a feast on their minds. The students’ only chance for escape is a survivalist with enough firepower to blast Leatherface and the rest of the grisly predators to hell. A depraved shocker of intense terror from the gruesome beginning to the bloody finish.

That was an excellent one.
Sick Product of a Sick System
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
There a reason people like to say the first movie of the The Texas chainsaw massacre is better then third one. The same reason people say about any movies when they say the third one is better then the first one. Because it is first one. If the first came out after this movie and it was a prequel they would say this is better. Most the time I would say with movie series the third is better then the first two. I am not going to say that. The Texas chainsaw massacre 2 is a very scary movie. This is a great movie. But it is not as good as The Texas chainsaw massacre 2. It is better then the original The Texas chainsaw massacre from 1974. It a very scary movie. It has great acting. It has a great story line. It has great special effects. This movie is a must see.
This one goes back to the serious tone revolving a crazy family and a psychotic chainsaw wielding psycho. It's nowhere near raw and chaotic as the first one, nor does it come to the same level of scare factor. Sure, it doesn't have that tension and suspense. The title of this movie has Leatherface in it, but he isn't in it as much and his persona isn't really shown in this. I have no idea why it's called Leatherface, because Leatherface plays a small part in the whole thing. Actually it does show a bit of Leatherface persona, but the more it tries the less intimidating he gets. I know, it's to show the innocence of Leatherface, but the more it does it makes Leatherface less intimidating more than interesting. The build up is drawn-out and boring and I just couldn't care for any of the characters. Even if the acting in it is alright. Also I am not sure if the heavy metal tracks actually elevated the chainsaw scenes or not either. I think they should get rid of the prologue part, because after the first one the next 3 sequels are just plain out silly in my opinion. Overall this is a watchable sequel that isn't awful, but doesn't stand out among other slashers.4.3/10
The writer of Midnight Express apologized to Turkey for the negative depiction of the country in the movie. Oliver Stone, who wrote the screenplay, also apologized.Well, someone needs to apologize to Texas for the depiction in this film. I have never seen such ignorant backwoods garbage as this family.As to the movie, it was not worth the time it took to watch it. I did not see one drop of blood. It was more noise than anything, and, of course, a bunch of inbred cretins.I really would like to know why this film was banned in Iceland, Finland and the UK. There was nothing in here to give it an R. It was just lame.Can you believe that Viggo Mortensen was in this film
Thank god that moved ended it! I did not like it at all, not that gory and not that scary at all and really poor acting from everyone in this movie and all of them really annoyed the hell out of me and I did care if they died or not.I did not like TCM 2, which I gave a 4 out of 10 and this is going to get the same rating.At least Leatherface was not a softy in this move like the second one, the only good think I can about this movie but still did not find him that scary.I found everything else so bad, that I was laughing most of the time. (And this was not cut version)
