'Texas Chainsaw 3D' Trailer: This Is Happening Again, in 3D

Appropriate that this trailer for Texas Chainsaw 3D opens with a topless girl openly changing her shirt in broad daylight. Partially because that is definitely the film's most compelling visual, but also because it perfectly embodies the rest of the film's overtness in lazily draping a new, thin covering on something everyone's already seen. Equally fitting: the fim's titles, which continue in this "fuck it" spirit of brazenness to proudly proclaim, "It happened before; it's happening again." You know how some not-quite-teenagers went on a trip and ran and screamed and got hacked to bits in previous Texas Chainsaw Massacres, as well as in every other generic slasher movie? That's happening again! Now with an abbreviated title and slightly different people! (In 3D!)

I'll probably just wait for Texas 4: More of That 3D.
