Upon stopping for gas and directions on the Texas back roads, bickering yuppies
Michelle (
Kate Hodge) and
Ryan (
William Butler) get harassed by leering service-station owner
Alfredo (
Tom Everett). When the helpful intercession of a hitchhiker named
Tex (
Viggo Mortensen) leads to violence, the couple flees the area. Eventually, an unknown truck forces them off the road and into an accident with the sports utility vehicle of
Benny (
Ken Foree), a well-armed survivalist. Pursued by unknown assailants,
Benny and his fellow accident victims must abandon both vehicles and armaments. Eventually all three end up trapped on the boggy forest estate of a family of cannibalistic serial killers who range in age from a feral little girl (
Jennifer Banko) to an aged matriarch (
Miriam Byrd-Nethery). The clan also includes the title character, whose chainsaw-wielding rampages are among the few direct links between this installment and the earlier two films in this series.
