History YMMV / TexasChainsaw3D

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Kenny. Mainly because he's not hated

* HateDumb: Despite WordOfGod constantly insisting that the film is a continuation of the original movie, a lot of people constantly say that it is either a remake or a continuation of a remake, which is impossible because Leatherface clearly still has his arm in this one. And the fact that almost all movies in the franchise have [[RecycledPremise a similar plot]] really doesn't help the situation.
** Died down since the release, as highlights of the original film are played in the opening credits.

* FridgeBrilliance: Notice the tagline says "Evil Wears Many Faces" ? At first, one could say this refers to Leatherface's masks. But examining from the plot [[spoiler: you'll notice Leatherface and his family are not the main antagonists of the film, rather Burt Hartman and his goons, the film also has plenty of {{Asshole Victim}}s and [[spoiler: the protagonist has a StartOfDarkness.]]

* JerkassWooobie: This depiction of Leatherface, considering his predicament. Also [[spoiler:Heather]], whose FaceHeelTurn is frankly understandable, given the kind of shit she went through.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Pretty much the main problem with the film. As the film goes on [[spoiler: the only good characters either die or turn evil, to the point where there are no more moral characters. As a result, when the climax comes, we don't know who we're supposed to be rooting for, or more importantly, why.]]

** Died down since the release, as highlights of the original film are played in the opening credits. ''However'', people seem to always bring up the AnachronismStew problem of Heather's age

* FridgeBrilliance: Notice the tagline says "Evil Wears Many Faces" ? At first one could say this refers to Leatherfaces masks.

** [[spoiler: When Heather reads Verna's letter, one of the sentances where "''He's yours now''". The brilliance of that scene comes when you take into account that Verna is played by Marilyn Burns, who played Sally in the original. And since the sequels that are rumored to be in the works are set to continue Heather's story, this is a symbolic TakeUpMySword from one FinalGirl to another.]]

* DesignatedVillain: The people of the town are portrayed like this for [[spoiler: burning down and murdering the Sawyer family]], regardless of the fact that the Sawyer family is made up of cannibalistic and sadistic monsters, but Leatherface and Heather are played as the Lesser of two Evils.

* [[spoiler: EasilyForgiven: It seems Heather completely forgives Leatherface for killing all her friends and trying to murder her when she finds out that they are related. However, it can be argued that she knows it is partially her fault that Leatherface was let loose and go on a rampage. If she had read her grandmother's letter first, most of the deaths would probably have been avoided.]]

** Although the Mayor and his son seem to be a subversion of this trope - [[spoiler: as they decide take the towns vendetta out on Heather simply for being related to the Sawyers, a fact she didn't even know about up until the final act of the film.]]

** [[DesignatedProtagonist Heather herself qualifies for some.]]

** [[DesignatedProtaganist Heather herself qualifies for some.]]

** [[DesignatedProtaganist: Heather herself qualifies for some.]]

* TearJerker: Heather's situation basically, she was raised by a family who really doesn't seem to care for her, her boyfriend and best friend have sex behind her back, [[spoiler: the townspeople decide to lynch her for simply being related to the Sawyers, and she didn't even know until the night they found out. No wonder she [[StartOfDarkness sides with Leatherface at the end]].]]

* {{Narm}}: This film gives us [[SarcasmMode classic]] one-liners such as "Welcome to Texas, motherfucker!" and [[spoiler:"Do your thing, cuz!"]]
