Michael Bay's Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
Sommer 1973: eine Gruppe junger Leute ist im VW-Bus über die staubigen Straßen von Texas unterwegs. Die Stimmung ist ausgelassen. Plötzlich erscheint wie aus dem Nichts eine Frau auf der Landstraße und wird fast von dem Bus erfasst. Sie scheint verwirrt zu sein, redet unverständlich und von Todesangst gezeichnet vor sich hin. Widerwillig lässt sie sich von der Gruppe mitnehmen, doch als die Fahrt sie scheinbar an den Ort des Horrors zurückbringt, dreht sie völlig durch. Auf der Suche nach Hilfe stößt die Clique in einer kleinen, abgelegenen Stadt auf deren bizarre Einwohner. Die Tankstellenwirtin, der Polizist und der alte Mann im Rollstuhl scheinen etwas Schreckliches zu verbergen. Unter mysteriösen Umständen verschwinden nach und nach die ersten Freunde, die Gruppe wird auseinandergerissen. Dann hören die Übriggebliebenen zum ersten Mal das Geräusch einer Motorsäge!
