Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013) Comes To Blu-ray

Lionsgate Films has announced the release date and details of their horror film Texas Chainsaw 3D. The film is directed by John Luessenhop and stars Alexandra Daddario, Tania Raymonde, Scott Eastwood, and Dan Yeager. Texas Chainsaw 3D arrives on Blu-ray on April 30th.

The film continues the story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic left off. In Newt, Texas, people have been going missing without a trace for decades. Years later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young girl named Heather (Daddario) discovers that she has inherited a sprawling Texas estate from an unknown grandmother. To claim her estate, Heather goes on a road trip with her friends to Newt, but soon learns that wealth comes at a price when she discovers the horror that waits in the cellar of her new mansion.

Texas Chainsaw 3D was released in January of 2013 and has grossed over $34 million to date at the box office.
