Chainsaw 3D

Legendary horror

people went missing without a trace. The townspeople long suspected the Sawyer
family, owners of a local barbeque pit, were somehow responsible. Their
suspicions were finally confirmed one hot summer day when a young woman escaped
the Sawyer house following the brutal murders of her four friends. Word around
the small town quickly spread, and a vigilante mob of enraged locals surrounded
the Sawyer stronghold, burning it to the ground and killing every last member
of the family – or so they thought. Decades later and hundreds of miles away
from the original massacre, a young woman named Heather learns that she has
inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew she had. After
embarking on a road trip with friends to uncover her roots, she finds she is
