20 Movies Destroyed By Their Plot Holes
2. Texas Chainsaw 3D - Where To Begin?
Texas Chainsaw 3D is a movie that doesn't just contain plot holes; it is constructed from them. Nothing about this risible legacy sequel is executed with any sort of logic.
This is present from the get-go, when a character who appears as a baby in the 1974-set prologue appears as an adult (Alexandra Daddario) in her early 20s in the next scene, set in 2012... she should be nearly 40 years old! That sets the tone from the off.
The characters are constantly making ludicrously stupid decisions and getting themselves killed in the most avoidable of ways. Heather (Daddario) is given a letter from her late relative at the start, but inexplicably neglects to read it, and if she'd done so, then she could've learned the house that she'd inherited had an ageing Leatherface lurking within.
And of course, there's the ending where Heather realizes she's Leatherface's long-lost cousin and suddenly teams up with him against the police department, conveniently forgetting that he's tried to kill her repeatedly and also killed her friends. That is not believable any way you cut it.
Because of its stupidity, Texas Chainsaw 3D is a fascinating film to dissect, and there's perhaps some ironic enjoyment to be had in places, but it's never enough to hide the fact that you're watching utter tripe.
