Based loosely on true events that inspired both the original "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and the Oscar-winning "The Silence of the Lambs," the new film will center around a handful of friends who become isolated in the company of a deadly clan of cannibals. The original film not only struck a deep chord with the youth culture of the time but revitalized the horror genre, influencing virtually all of the successful horror franchises that followed it, from New Line's own "Nightmare on Elm Street" series to "The Blair Witch Project".
A member of the jury for an exposive trial against a gun manufacturer joins forces with a beautiful woman to manipulate the panel. With millions of dollars at stake in the precedent-setting lawsuit, the mysterious jurist finds himself battling a high-priced and ruthless jury "consultant" who will stop at nothing to secure a verdict.
