The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D is another horror film present at the American Film Market, and new plot details have been released. The basic plot outline listed below is very similar to what we had reported on earlier. **SPOILER WARNING** The film takes place years after the events of the original Tobe Hooper film and involves a girl named Heather who discovers that she's related to Leatherface:

[Thanks to STYD] "Twenty years ago, the town of Newt, Texas exacted vengeance on the Sawyer family for their role in assisting and concealing murders committed by the chainsaw-wielding maniac Jeb Sawyer, aka "Leatherface." The entire family was presume killed when Burt Hartman led the townspeople to burn down their farm house, but the Sawyer infant survived and was secretly taken away by two of the vigilante townies, Gavin and Arlene, and raised their daughter Heather. It's not until she's in her twenties that Heather learns that she's adopted. A lawyer for her grandmother tracks her down with word she's been left an inheritance.

Angry at her parents for lying to her, she sets out for Texas on a road trip with her boyfriend Ryan, friends Nikki and Kenny, and Darryl, a hitchhiker they pick up on the way."

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D is directed by John Luessenhop, and stars Alexandra Daddario, Scott Eastwood, Bill Moseley, Tania Raymonde, Trey Songz, Keram Malicki-Sanchez, Shaun Sipos, Thom Barry, Paul Rae, and Richard Riehle. The movie will be released on October 5th, 2012.
