10 Horror Movies Ruined Entirely By One Scene

10. "Do Your Thing, Cuz" - Texas Chainsaw 3D

Texas Chainsaw 3D admittedly isn't a particularly good movie at even the best of times, but there's a single moment which sees it metamorphose from merely watchable trash to downright unbearable.

The film makes the bold if perhaps misguided decision to try and reinvent Leatherface (Dan Yeager) as an iconic anti-hero, ultimately teaming him with protagonist Heather (Alexandra Daddario), who is revealed to be his cousin.

In the finale, Heather sides with Leatherface over the town's corrupt cops, and when confronting Mayor Burt Hartman (Paul Rae) decides to throw Leatherface's chainsaw to her deranged cousin, before telling him, "Do your thing, cuz."

You can't really blame Alexandra Daddario here - Daniel Day-Lewis himself couldn't make that atrocious line sound good, and it marks the point at which it was clear that the creatives in charge had no earthly idea what fans of the franchise actually wanted out of these movies.

The film's dialogue was never going to win awards, but c'mon, this line is something else. That it made it past the scripting, shooting, and editing stages of production to be witnessed by millions of embarrassed viewers is staggering.
