Lionsgate released the film after Twisted Pictures (the production company behind Saw ) closed a multi-picture deal for the franchise. Plot Summary
Reviews were mixed to negative, with critics noting timeline inconsistencies (such as Heather appearing 20 years old in 2012, despite being a baby in 1973). However, some praised the refreshing mid-movie plot twist that deviated from conventional slasher tropes.
An infant is found among the wreckage by Gavin Miller, who takes her in. Decades later, that child, Heather Miller (played by Alexandra Daddario), discovers she has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew.
The story shifts halfway through to explore family loyalty, as Heather realizes the "monster" Leatherface is her cousin and the townspeople are the ones who murdered her biological family.
Despite low expectations, it was a financial success, earning nearly $35 million at the US box office.
