Texas Chainsaw Massacre

My Thoughts On Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 I Have Never Been So Happy To Be Wrong About A Movie (I Was A Vocal Skeptic) I Had A Few Problems With The Final Act But Overall A Fun Splatterfest Of A Movie

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: H50 is just your typical Netflix fare, but one where the algorithms really failed. All these years on, what does it want to be? Psychotronic 70s shlock? 80s VHS murderfest you just watch for the kills? 90s splatter comedy? 00s remake for also-ran TV actors? 10s Both Sides satire? Nobody knows, least of all the people who made it; it tries on all those masks and then promptly forgets them, leaving us with lots of CGI gore but none of the stench of the original.

Dennis Hopper come back. The worst characters in a franchise that came out swinging with Franklin.

This entire film can be described by the title. It takes place in Texas, there's a chainsaw, and it's a massacre. That's all you will get out of this film, even as it tries to ask the question, "what if Halloween 2018 sucked shit?"

My biggest concern throughout was how he was going to fix the plumbing and floorboards.

A gore hound's delight! Not sure why this is getting shit on, it's a dumb gory popcorn film that doesn't try to be anything else. A superhuman killer disposing of young adult cannon fodder. As a giant horror nerd, I approve. It's schlock, but it's not boring, it's short and it has good kills. What more do you need in your horror films? This is how horror franchises work, the Freddy, the Jason, the Michael, the Chucky! Rinse and repeat. Not every movie needs to be fucking Schindler's List!

Modern horror directors/writers know that Horror films can be something other than superficial treatises on trauma right? Basically nothing in this is earned at all. Even when I was enjoying the overwhelming brutality of it all it rings hollow. Smashing someone’s head into dirt doesn’t add anything if it isn’t put together with the rest of the film.

In what seems to be the trend with these “originals” Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) feels like your typical Netflix schlock combined with a story we have continually seen done in this universe. It feels way more over-stylized for it’s own good to feel too interesting or distinguishable. Aside from a few interesting characters and a nice kill or two, I feel like (and this goes for 80% of this franchise) that it doesn’t justify it’s existence any more than almost every other entry.

Bloody hell that's bad. The one redeeming feature is that it's up front with its misogyny. It's about time horror directors stopped trying to convince us that watching women being tortured for 90 minutes is somehow feminism. Nah, let's put some shit on her too. Hyuk hyuk.

The funniest thing about this is how completely it misses the mark in every single department. Except the acting, which honestly isn't bad. Elsie Fisher does a good job in her role, as does Sarah Yarkin. The atmosphere of the town is solid. And, it's actually quite the massacre- so props for that? But the story...it's bad. The ending is bad. It's awful, actually. Dumb, sequel-baiting trash that completely ruins the 80 minutes prior. But hey, TC3D is still worse so...that's something?

The lowest common denominator, really. They even got themselves a dollar store version of Laurie Strode only to kill her off after 4 minutes of screentime. Apparently, they forgot that no one really cares about that character either way. Of course, he survives in the end... somehow.

I love monsters but usually hate slasher franchise cliches (indistinguishable dumb & horny teens as protagonists; treating each sequel as stand-alone by essentially ignoring previous characters), so I won't be surprised if I'm one of the few people who loved this. This delivers everything I want from a slasher sequel. It's briskly paced; builds on the past; has non-dopey teens as leads; & plenty of gore. It also looks beautiful (which may be a no-no) & even has good actors & an actual theme.

Everyone who worked on this movie should go to jail.

Written by Chris Thomas Devlin from a story by Fede Álvarez and Rode Sayagues (the team behind two Don’t Breathes and the Evil Dead remake) and directed by David Blue Garcia, Texas Chainsaw Makes some stabs (sorry) at satire and relevance that ultimately make it seem worse than the half-hearted, seen-it-before killfest it is.

Gentrification and mass shooting trauma are just to make we all think this is a new movie, when it's absolutely not. Lazy as hell by picking the same device the new Halloween franchise is using, but at least the gore is cool -- bus scene is evidently a win -- and it's pretty short.

I cherish a bus full of hipsters being torn to shreds as much as the next guy, but the best thing about this is that it's short.

i cant in good conscience rate this high, but there are some effectively scary scenes

It's not ALL bad. It's got some good gore and nice shots, but plot-wise it's a bit too all over the place to create any real tension. Things that just happen, randomly, and there's no reason to care for any of the characters. Even the attempt to bring something old into the new concepts fails miserably. This also concludes my mission of watching this entire series this year. Job done! It was a wild ride.

Just a lazy, CGI gore-filled, "kids with their phones these days!!!" expounding rehash of a masterpiece that looks like it was filmed on a backlot. Makes all the other TCM sequels look better in comparison.

Filled with lazy, paper-thin, political character archetypes that lacked any type of depth and none of the actors has any kind of charisma or screen presence. It's never a good thing to be a sequel while retconning the original. The violence and gore were good, when you could see it, the editing hurt more than helped. The story and writing are just about as threadbare, basic, and lazy as just about everything else in this film.

Un Texas Chainsaw sauce Netflix. Les héroïnes sont donc des militantes écolo, les hommes juste bons à se faire tuer. La violence est borderline, ridicule. Les références sont mauvaises et l'héroïne du premier film n'est même pas respectée. C'est dommage parce que c'est les scènes gore tiennent la route.

Why does this feel like it was half-written by each of Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson? Ultra-liberal cityfolks versus deep-south Texas rednecks: the movie, featuring Leatherface. I get escapism, hyperbole, and especially in this genre, high violence and gore. But I don't get this. I don't even get how people who love this genre could get anything from this. It delivers on the "85 minutes of almost-nothing" it promises with a goofy ending, never asking you to care about anything it shows you.

Didn't hate it but I thought it lacked structure and finesse. Is the gore alright? It's not bad. Do a lot of yuppies get killed? Yeah, so that's a huge bonus. Do people make stupid decisions? Surprisingly not that often for a horror film, aside from the end. I wasn't convinced by a lot of the actors and the bus driver is so fucking annoying, despite being on screen for maybe 5 seconds total. Borg Queen is underused.

There was definitely a chance for this to be interesting in the way the other 4 in the og series are. Texas Chainsaw gentrifiers. The battle between city/rural, new politic v old, when capital leaves a certain section of society behind but instead it does some annoying thing about trauma. nonsense about VIOLENCE at schools. It is VERY brutal in a way that’s respectable tho. Very much in line with TCSM 3 but it’s weird to have that aesthetic smash against the typical way all Netflix movies do

Maybe this movie should have thought about not making the main characters a bunch of gentrification people. Gross.

Ok call me crazy for liking this but it’s self awareness goes a long way for me. It had some hilariously bad scenes but leaning into the killer worked at making it super fun and goofy… C

2022 yapımı Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 2018'de çıkan Halloween olmaya çalışıp da olamaması, bir şey anlatmak isteyip anlatamaması, aptal karakterleri ve eğlenceli olmayan sahneleriyle berbat bir film.

I finished this an hour ago and I've already forgotten what happened.

Average

Have to admire how the filmmakers threw every topical culture war along with the kitchen sink but H2O this ain't, Resurrection maybe. There's parts where it almost manages to capture a similar visceral violence as tcm but it's just too goofy a movie. Fun though.

Like 10 minutes in a character says something about “late stage capitalism” and I melted into my couch with embarrassment like one of those 1000lbs people who fuses to their couch after two years not moving and has to be forklifted out. There is admittedly a chainsaw massacre, but overall it just feels like the moldiest reheated Halloween 2018 leftovers, and this is notably coming from someone who wasn’t even too impressed with THAT movie - although it’s much better than this.

This is bad. Terrible. Everything about this sucked.

You know, I was quite happy with it until the final scene, which was just trope for trope's sake and honestly, I think that trope sucks, is completely overused and should be retired cause it deflates any dramatic tension. I think the setup was quite good actually, in how it built the oppositions between the southerners and the gentrifiers. But then it morphed into something way more familiar and I am like meh. Not super interested in the sequel.

Bu senenin en korkunç filmi. Bu sefer de Leatherface'a bakan annemizin ölmesi sonucu herkesten aldığı intikamı izliyoruz. Harlow kasabasını satın alan yeni girişimci gençler, 1 tane evin boş olmadığını görür. Evdeki kadını dışarı atmaya çalışırken kalp krizi geçirip ölür. Leatherface herkesi öldürmeye başlar. Otobüs sahnesi gelmiş geçmiş en kötü vahşet sahnesi. Senaryo zaafı olarak da etrafta polisi geçtim security bile yok. Filmin sonunda arkası yarın. Kaçarsan ölürsün.

The first hour is reasonable with some great kills, however the rest is crap.

Laurie Strode's was attacked by Michael Myers. Decades later, her thirst for revenge has turned her to a beast. Sally was attacked by Leatherface. Decades later, her thirst for revenge has turned her to a fucking idiot.

worth a watch

I don't feel like I'm being listened to when I reiterate that these endless TCM requels epitomize braindead writing and money-grubbing blasphemy. It's only my undying love for the original three, you know what, even "Next Generation", which compels me to keep on watching these. What strikes me most now is how completely they've given up trying to tap into the original characters and backstory. Not that continuity would have salvaged it, but it would have given it an air of blissful unawareness.

While “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” may satisfy those looking for a bloody good time, the film ultimately falls flat with a lackluster plot and ham-fisted attempts at political commentary. It’s a forgettable entry in the franchise that fails to live up to the original’s legacy.

While it is not a perfect film it does bring you right back into the Texas Chainsaw lore with ease. If this is your first exposure to the brand it does catch you up quickly as well as bring into modern day. The cast is forgettable mostly and the deaths extremely brutal but yet somehow very predictable, including the final one which was just pure shock value and nothing more. There is potential here for another series of sorts but only if they want to do something different to change it up.

I feel dirty just writing about it, but David Blue Garcia might be going places. He is a real director.

All depends on how high your expectations are. But if you're expecting modern type jump scare horror with an old villain favorite, then you're fine. It's clearly not aiming to match the original horror classic, but it can be fun for some bloody slashing with a chainsaw.

For today's slasher, the kills were pretty good. The bus scene was ruined for me though with the overkill on the lightning strobe effect. Way too harsh for us that are sensitive to that stuff. Not believable that this was the OG chainsaw fella though so just forget that notion. This 70 yr old dude just flying around like he's an NFL linebacker, haha. Part of the charm is the silliness of course. It's short as others have mentioned so there's not a lot of development, but I suppose there doesn't

It's a complete mess. Yes, some scenes were fun and brutal, but the script was really badly written. The characters are not used well, especially Sally's return was completely pointless. Tension is almost nonexistent. David Blue Garcia's directing is one of the very few good things about the movie, we may hear more of his name in the future.

Overly preachy, has not much at all to do with the original it claims to follow. The newest Texas Chainsaw film is pretty to look at, and serves just fine as a brutal distraction. It also features an actual Chainsaw Massacre scene, so that's something missing from most of the others.

Awful.

Better than I expected it to be.

Why do they have to do Hardesty like dat??? AARGHHHHHH!!!
