La matanza de Texas 3 es una secuela muy aburrida por obligación, en la que se puede predecir de vez en cuando lo que va a pasar en la trama en cinco minutos, y luego pasa de verdad. Solo se vuelve divertido cuando aparece el carismático y genial Ken Foree, que aporta un poco de aire fresco a un espectáculo que, de otro modo, sería completamente esquemático (como el exagerado Dennis Hopper de la segunda película). El final de la película, que parecía ignorar todo el acto anterior y devolver a la pantalla a los personajes que ya habían terminado, se sentía como un cierre ilógico. Aunque no lo esperaba, lo disfruté aún menos que el extravagante Hooper en la segunda entrega. Qué demonios, La matanza de Texas solo hay una, auténtica e intensa.

Unlike the disastrous black-humoured second film, this sequel sticks to the tried-and-tested horror formula, which is pure B-movie in all its twists and turns and more or less in its execution, but it has the reverberating 1980s feeling of unpretentiously fun and properly bloody slasher films and you just don't get bored. I liked the setting in gloomy misty forests, some really juicy violence and a few good directorial ideas (I was especially impressed by the fake continuity of view between the pursued and Leatherface at one point). In contrast, I was madly irritated by the impossible behaviour of all the characters, the terribly stupid dialogues and the ridiculous invulnerability of the players, who are not prevented from entering a scene even after having their heads smashed in. In short, it's an average genre film, although the outdatedness of the premise is already very apparent. 50%

Unsurprisingly, Hooper’s first part still leads by a long margin (it couldn’t be otherwise, it’s one of the best horror movies ever), but this sequel is not that bad. The atmosphere is thick, the swamps and the dark forest work really well, and the occasional dark humour doesn’t hurt, either. Except for the ending, when “dead” characters reappear happily alive of nowhere, I’m very satisfied.

I consider the third installment of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series to be slightly better than Hooper's second installment, which simply didn't entertain me. This is a classic survival film with black humor, which is something that works quite well. The film doesn't surprise, but the performances are strong enough not to deter you. It's the kind of film that won't impress you, but it also won't disgust you just by watching it. The average rating suits it best.
