The makers of Texas Chainsaw ? or Texas Chainsaw 3D, as it's being widely advertised ? would like to you forget all about nearly 40 years' worth of sequels, prequels, remakes and reboots, and pretend that only a couple of decades or so have passed since the events depicted way back in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974).
