Description: **Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990)**
**Storyline:**
Leatherface brutally murders Gina and crafts a mask from her face as her sister Sara witnesses the horror from a window. Later, a couple, Michelle and Ryan, traveling through Texas, arrive at the Last Chance Gas Station. There, they encounter a hitchhiker named Tex and the station’s owner, Alfredo. Tensions rise when Tex catches Alfredo spying on Michelle in the restroom, leading to a violent confrontation. Michelle and Ryan flee after witnessing Alfredo apparently shoot Tex with a shotgun.
Lost on the road, they face more terror when a truck driver hurls a dead coyote at their windshield. While changing a flat tire, Leatherface ambushes them, but they escape unharmed. Later, Michelle, Ryan, and Benny, a survivalist, crash their car when a bloodied Tex jumps in front of it. They decide to search for Tex, encountering Tinker, a hook-handed man who claims to help with road flares. Benny uncovers Tinker’s true intentions after finding a damaged chainsaw in his truck and flees, narrowly escaping Leatherface.
Benny meets Sara, who reveals her family was slaughtered by Leatherface and his family, now monitoring the roads. Hearing Michelle and Ryan call for him, Benny leaves Sara, only for Leatherface to kill her shortly after. Leatherface then turns his chainsaw on Michelle and Ryan, capturing Ryan when he gets caught in a bear trap.
Michelle finds a house but is captured by Tex, revealed to be part of the Sawyer family. Inside, she is shown the decomposed body of “Grandpa.” Tinker drags in the severely injured Ryan, and together with Tex, they suspend him upside-down using meat hooks.
**Additional Notes:**
The film continues the horrifying legacy of Leatherface and his deranged family, blending gruesome violence and psychological terror.
