What the hell, they dropped Massacre from the name?
Anyway, the 2003 remake was actually really okay and the best part about it -- IT HAD AN ACTUAL END. PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL, BABY! It did spawn the ****ty prequel, though...
Wikipedia says this is a sequel to the 1974 movie, so yeah.. They're just using the name to push a slasher story out there.
They probably didn't want people to say: Oh my God! A remake of
Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III!!! That's just awful!
