NETFLIX And the Chainsaw that couldn't! Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 review

Netflix The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. An unneeded sequel and everything wrong with reboots

Short version first

This movie was a lame duck. It was as useful as a broke dick dog.

Why this was made, I can’t say. It’s just pointless, dumb, and its existence makes us dumber for having seen it.

The long version

I was very. Highly. Incredibly, wearily skeptical of this movie when the poster came out. Not even the trailer. Just the teaser image.

A field of sunflowers, with Leatherface poking his head out in the middle of it.

I am sure someone thought aloud “Oh man that looks so cool”. It doesn’t. It really well and truly doesn’t.

It looks like something a fan would do while making their own Texas Massacre knockoff sequel with their friends and a borrowed RCA videotape recorder.

The mask is shit. It’s the worst human skinned mask, and looks like someone poured liquid latex over a Styrofoam head and peeled it off.

I know, because I did that as a kid. But even those mask I made, looked serial killer creepy.

The film is lazily written and exist entirely for the sole purpose of killing truly annoying people. Who are made to be just that.

Now I know. This is how horror movies are. You write people to be served up as cattle for the monster of the story. That is true. However, those people you write usually have character. They need to be at least somewhat likeable/relatable/reason to hate them. If you write them just to have you cheer them being killed? So you make them a specific stereotype with nothing to separate them, and you have just walked the easy lazy path.

These type of characters written just to be killed off, are usually. Or should usually. Be reserved for background characters. Not your main characters.

This all plays out, 100% I would not even bother betting you money because it’s too easy. But this all plays out as someone said “Hey that Halloween reboot sequel did pretty darn good. Who else can we put out there and do the same thing with?”

The basic plot is thus.

Influencer type people are headed to the town the Sawyer family lived close too and plan to, sell a town. Which they were able to acquire the deeds for most of, and plan to…build an influencer perfect society with like minded people.

So they saw what happened in Seattle when the protestors tried setting up their own city and law enforcement and said ‘We can do that too”.

They arrive in said town. Which is a 7 hour ride through baron land to arrive at. Which when you think about? There is no way in the world. The world we all live in. that this town would flourish and become a thriving population. 7 hours away from everyone and everything. You either live as a gypsy cult or someone is knowingly fucking these people out of their money and driving off laughing to the bank.

Well it turns out once they arrive in town, they didn’t have all the deeds. They scare and mistreat an elderly woman out of her home. Taking with her, her ‘boy’. Yes it’s leatherface. They’re not hiding anything. So off goes Leatherface and his orphanage running mama in a sheriffs truck headed to the hospital. Well she dies, and there begins our violence and leatherfaces pathetic return.

He breaks a sheriffs wrist and jams it into his throat. Slams the sheriff’s hand into the ceiling which fires off the gun he held and hits the driver, who then crashes. One of the influencer kids is in there so they have a bad time, crashing into a corn chucker. Well as the trailer would show you. She gets to see leatherface  cut off and put on the face of the elderly woman. At least that’s what you are ‘shown’ but the face he actually puts on looks like it came off of a 300lb man. I know what flesh looks like when its off the body and believe me. This is not the removed skin of an elderly woman.

Of course the blonde dies, and it’s not that spectacular. Because they need to save those for later. The payoff death pool of all the annoying influencers they feel the horror fans will be happily cheering at when they die.

In the midst of all this. We get our Laurie Strode.

They dug up from a hellish life of traveling conventions the original actress who played Sally.

We will call her Laurie.

Because beat for fucking beat that is who she is.

She even uses the line “I’ve been waiting 50 years for this night.”, I am sorry you had to come to this moment in your life ma’am. But jesus wept.

We’ll get into that soon enough.

So needless to say things go to shit for our group of influencers. Between finding out the old lady died, and the head influencer in charge DIDN’T have the deed to her house. Well now Leatherface is back. Killed their blonde friend and is able to teleport himself back into town as the auction is going on. Head influencer and his belly warmer go off to the orphanage to see if they can find the deed to the house. Since the old lady is dead now and they can cover up the fact they were going to sell someones property they didn’t actually own and caused her death by kicking her out and inducing a heart attack.

Belly warmer dies, head influencer dies. Everyone starts dying. The entire group that came in by party bus, also influencers. Apparently super rich influencers. All die. But not before giving us the trailer moment of everyone whipping out their cellphones and one guy saying to a chainsaw wielding man wearing a human face dripping blood, ‘Try something and we’ll cancel you bro’. It’s the stupidest sounding shit that’s not even rednecks drinking beer watching this chuckle worthy. But something that honestly should make your butthole cringe, and the rest of your body follow that action.

So they all die, and we’re supposed to cheer because. Super mega violence to the annoying influencers.

Don’t get me wrong I have no love for those people. It’s just a super lazy choice, which was made in the hopes your audience is that stupid as to say ‘heck ya I wanna see leatherface give the business to those rich dumb people saying stupid stuff on the moving picture box”

I mean jesus, as bad as the Friday the 13th movie was, they managed to do annoying college kids right, without it coming off like a super obvious ‘just kill me’ character. You again cared about them, and had one douchebag to actually cheer for his death. Here it’s just all cheers. But no one is.

So we have influencer sisters as our survivors, who gain the help of Laurie Strode. She does her “I’ve waited 50 years for this paycheck” speech and goes off to 1v1 leatherface.

Which was the one time this film showed an actual glimmer, a shimmer of hope.

Laurie makes her way into the orphanage, and finds Leatherface. Sitting on a bed. Unarmed and caught off guard. Laurie is packing a shotgun full of slugs.

Laurie chooses not to shoot him. She instead names off all the names of her friends that died in the first film and. Tells leatherface to speak to her, and tell her he knows who she is, what he did. So that he’ll know why he’s gonna die. It’s just pointless, But also not the interesting part.

The interesting part is when Leatherface leans down and picks up his chainsaw, then rises up from the bed, and walks past her. Because she froze up. She had the man who’s haunted her ever since the day she lost her mind and saw her friends killed, She had him dead to rites and froze up. He just walks past her and returns to finish killing the last group of survivors.

Which he almost accomplished. Until Laurie came out and shoots him. Because her moment of struggle is over, and now she’s in it to win it. It’s incredibly rushed and makes the earlier mentioned scene where she is petrified with fear, meaningless. If they’d put in a cut of her returning. Seeing these girls in trouble, taking aim at him again, hands shaking as she aims. It would’ve been empowering and a better scene. But no. We see Leatherface take a slug to the arm, stumble back. And here comes badass Laurie Strode chasing him through the town.  It’s all leading up to a stand off. Of shotgun versus chainsaw.

Leatherface comes charging out of a dark alley. Laurie shoots and misses, and the two enter a melee combat. Which surprisingly Laurie loses, and Leatherface gets to chainsaw her for once. Which again is a bit sad. Not sad in the film, in the film it’s just a huge sigh. It’s like when your dog has had diarrhea and you think it’s finally done and their stomach is settled. But then you find a large dank puddle on the carpet you just cleaned the day before. So you sigh knowing this was gonna happen and now you gotta deal with it.

Well she IS dead, but ISN’T. She dies but then shoots Leatherface again and tells the girls they shouldn’t run away to survive. Because if they do it’ll keep haunting them so. Best to stay and risk dying.

Which they do.

Its not an epic show down. It’s more of a “Lets rip off more movies while we’re at it’ thing. Chainsaws are thrown to trip people. Guns are for punching not shooting. Until they are. That’s when you recreate Terminator 2 and begin shooting Leatherface until he’s just on the edge of falling into a pit of water. But she runs out of shells. Oh nyo! But wait her sister smacks him with a chainsaw uppercut. Because sure why not. Yolo.

So Leatherface falls back dramatically, in slow motion, and is dead.

The sisters take off bloody limping and thankful for life to a nearby car. Which was the only thing that made me actually ask a real question, but also leads to the biggest laugh and joy this film actually gave me.

The sisters get in the car. Which I will assume is a self driving car. The two aren’t embracing thankful to have survived. But instead immediately begin quipping and joking with one another. “I’ve changed my mind, I think I will live in your town now” The two laugh, and Leatherface pops up, bashing a window up and dragging curly haired influencer sister out the window. Prompting the greatest moment of pure fucking stupid nostalgia baitng.

Her sister in the car stands up, poking her head out of the open sunroof and begins doing her impression of Laurie Strode from the first film. Screaming in faked madness and terror. As Leatherface beheads her sister and does his chainsaw dance he did at the end of the first film. All while the car. Either self driven, or not being driven at all and just freely ghost riding. Begins slowly veering around the street corner. Very slowly and cautiously turning. While the sister screams out watching Leatherface. JUST LIKE THE FIRST FILM GUYS!! OMG!!

It's the funniest shit and the only scene worth watching. Which hopefully a brave soul online will post, so you don’t have to fast forward to it yourselves.

And then, at the end of the credits. Because of course there has to be a credit scene. We see Leatherface making his way back to the old Sawyer family home.  Because reasons.

The movie stinks. It had and serves no purpose past nostalgia bating, ripping off Halloween’s sequel reboot, and in the laziest who gives a fuck way possible.

I sincerely don’t know who would enjoy this film. I really don’t. I don’t know why it’s made for as it missed its fucking mark by a country mile, and feels genuinely like its mocking the horror audience it expected to gobble this shit up without question.

Which brings us to the discussion of everything wrong with sequel reboots

The sequel reboot of Halloween was a rare example of a ‘pretty well done’ reboot. It is by no means perfect. But the people involved cared about the property, and were big fans of the films as well. It actually works pretty well. It did not work so well in the Friday the 13th reboot. Or the earlier Texas Chainsaw reboot. Of which there were several. Which is why this film upsets me.

Because even the worst reboot sequel in the Texas Chainsaw lineage, is still better than this. Those films were horrible. But they at least looked like they gave a shit, and got their audience without coming off mocking them.

It’s become a trend, for a while now. That we dig up a long running series that’s nearly run itself into the ground, and retell the story, introduce new characters in a similar situation as the original. Then bring in the original star. You bring them in to face off against their old foe. They pass the torch on to a new star, and the movie ends. We all are supposed to feel good and like we got something good out of it.

One of the first films to do this? Was Psycho 2. Which brought back Norman Bates, continued from where the first ended. While at the same time going through similar situations as the first, recreating some, but also making a few new ones.

It was a novel idea and the film again wasn’t great by any means. But it was alright.

An example of done right I think also deserves some love, though it wasn’t given the old time treatment. Is A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors.  

Freddy’s Revenge did not sit well with Freddy fans. It didn’t actually sit well with a lot of people at the time.

So in comes part 3. A girl is being terrorized in her dreams by a man in a hat with a razor glove. She hears a creepy nursery rhyme and her mom thinks she’s going insane. The only person who believes in her boogeyman. Is the survivor Nancy from the first film. Nancy is grown up now. She’s become a dream therapist. She’s taking dream suppressant pills and doing what she can now to help people with their nightmares. She fears Freddy has returned and gets confirmation if his return when she’s pulled into the girls dream and the two meet again. We are introduced to a bunch of characters. Given their backstory. We care about them, and we know they’re gonna die. Connect your audience with your characters, and they’ll invest their interest in what you are selling them.

They don’t stop there though. They give us a lot more into Freddy’s story. His mothers side. We also bring back Nancy’s dad. We learn what happened with both of them after the events of the first film and how it effected their relationship and lives. We get some redemption archs in the film, and a final showdown with Nancy and Freddy, where Freddy gets his revenge, and a new hero rises.

It was not just a sequel folks. The film was a reboot. It introduced us to a new Freddy. One that went back to using dreams to kill people but now with his trademark humor. It built more lore from what was established in the first film, it also built up a new character with abilities which would make fighting Freddy more interesting compared to turning your back on him and taking away any power you gave him like in the original. It brought in something old, and gave us something new. Which carried on for 3 more films before it reset itself.

The problem is, with most of these sequel reboots. Lord knows I’ve preached it before. Is respect for the source, and not going off of the cliff notes version of the film.

If you plan to reboot a series, and your only guide is to say ‘Okay people love these films because there’s a chainsaw, a guy wears human faces, theirs gruesome deaths, and tits. Right? I’m sure there’s tits because there’s always tits.” So then you recreate scenes from the original that any horror fan can pick out for reference. But you ditch the story.

It makes you feel like acting out the scene in Poltergeist with the dad and his real estate boss. You ditched the story! You recreated scenes but you didn’t give us the story!

Having Leatherface dance with a chainsaw at the end of your movie without understanding why he was doing it in the first film, it kind of matters.

Laurie Strode was a character who went on a journey from the first two films. To the latest. In the first film she was a babysitter who survived a hellish night that almost killed her and left her shattered. The second film she is trying to make sense of everything that happened, and is once again escaping a walking nightmare. Which nearly took her life a second time. But she still had to dig deep and find her strength to survive. By the time we fast forward to the reboot sequel. She’s now a hardened survivor who refuses to be a victim and live her life in fear. It’s cost her a relationship with her daughter, and anyone close to her thinking she’d lost it. She waited for Michael to be moved, and planned to kill him. But she couldn’t follow through with it. She’s had trauma and he still had a hold on her. But the moment her family was in trouble. She put that in the back of her head and switched on survival mode.

All of her self training, range shooting. Watching Home Alone and making traps paid off. Even her daughter showed the same. Everything she’d written off that her mom taught her, became useful and saved her. It was a good pay off. We saw them each suffer and over come, survive together and it was a satisfying ending. Until the other one came out.

This film brought back its original lone survivor, they put her in the Laurie Strode role. She’s a Texas Ranger. Hunted Leatherface her whole life, she’s now on a farm, gutting pigs without blinking an eye. She gets a call about Leatherface returning and instantly drives off to the town ready for a long waited fight. But she too stalls when she faces him. But in an instant is over it and is ready to fight. All of her ranger training, farm pig gutting, and preparation for this day did nothing for her.

When she squares off against Leatherface her shots are lazy. She isn’t aiming for anything. She’s just there to die needlessly. For fans to have an “Aww man, he killed her!” moment. Which again, was more a sad sigh of ‘oh, okay’ versus their intended goal.

Instead of a hero rising. We get a copy pasted new age ending that mirrors the original in all the wrong ways.

Sally was not a fearless character in the original. Sally was scared out of her mind. The events she witnessed, and later on was put through. It broke her. And we saw that. The movie even warned us of her outcome at the very beginning.”They could not have expected, nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day.”, By the time Sally wakes up in the Sawyer house and meets the Sawyer family. We see her mind snap. She’s surrounded by madness, everyone is insane, and they’re trying to make a man in his hundreds try to bash her head in with a hammer he can’t hold. She throws herself forward with all she has, manages to escape and runs for dear life. She climbs in the back of a truck and cries for the driver to take off. Leatherface nearly gets her and she screams out in sheer lunacy and cracked victory as the driver drives off with her, and a frustrated Leatherface swings his chainsaw around wildly on the road side.

Is it believable that she could rebuild her life after that and become a strong Texas Ranger seeking an end to a horror that’s traumatized her life? Absolutely. Is it also believable she would’ve been commited to an asylum? Also absolutely.

Bringing back an old character, just for the sake of. Without purpose, without building upon their character. Giving them something to establish them, to work with. Give your audience something to latch on to and help them to reconnect with a character they’ve lost touch with and would like to know what they’ve been doing since those events. Give them anything.

But just mentioning their name, what they’ve done. Then showing us them looking tough while gutting a pig on a hook. That tells us nothing. Okay so she can handle the sight of blood, and getting her hands dirty. What else? Flesh her out. Have us follow her a bit. Show us what her life is, how she’s prepared for this. Does she have an arsenal? Is her home a survivalist compound? Show her doing the job of a Texas ranger. Anything. Instead of telling us she’s a strong no bullshit survivor on a mission. Show us.

Nancy took dream suppressant pills to stop any chance of seeing Freddy. She researched dream control, different cultures myths of dreams and controlling them. Anything she could use if she ever had to fight him again. Hell she used her knowledge and past experience to try helping other kids.

Laurie Strode took survivalist courses, gun training, made home made traps. She prepared herself for the eventuality that as long as Michael Meyers draws breath. He will kill again,and she trained her daughter to defend herself. To prepare for the eventuality he will return and they will have to face him. She used all of this to defend herself, her family and fight to survive.

Sarah Connor. Dated mercenaries and ex special forces men. They trained her. Tried to be a father to her son, and left her when they realized she believed her son was the future hope for humanities survival. She stockpiled weapons. Taught him to defend himself, to hotwire, hack. Survive. Skills he would need as a resistance leader. She was locked up for it, thought to be insane. Even then she trained, every day. Tried escaping constantly. To get back to her son to protect him. All of her training came into play. Even his. It helped them both to survive and he helped her in turn.

Imagine now. If they ripped all that out. If Sarah Conner was never shown doing pull ups in an asylum. If we never heard about the military training. Just that the events from the first film haunted her and she’s been hunting killer terminators ever since. That’s how you get Terminator Dark Fate.

If we only heard Laurie Strode was a survivalist nut job, and we never saw her until the very end of the movie. Where she’s a commando style assassin taring ass until she locks up in front of Michael and dies.

Give the people something, even a little something, and it can pay off in spades. I’m not saying I don’t buy Sally in her role. I’m just saying what they did do with her, was a terrible waste. A waste of an actress, and potentially interesting story.

How could it have been fixed?

Show her being interviewed for the small commercial documentary in the beginning they showed us for the film. Maybe open with her taking down a tough Texas scumbag. Or if you want to say at her age she’d be retired. Then show us more of her home. Open her introduction with a hallway of news clippings. Shooting trophies. Stories about big arrest she made. Accolades. What she’s done with her life. If she had a family or not. A weapon wall. Hell maybe a murder wall with clippings of Leatherface sightings. Stories detailing the Sawyer family murders and missing tourist. Show us she’s been keeping tabs on this, putting things together. Cold trails she followed in hunting him down. Hell go even further and show she arrested and brought in the dad. Other Sawyer family members.

In the film a gas station attendant is listening to the police ban radio and hears the blonde detailing what happened to her. He misses the whole thing except for a part where she mentions “Hes’ wearing her skin as a mask”

What better a scene would it have been. If you recreated the slow dolly track shot from the first film. But its outside the farm Sally owns. Bringing you into the house, to the mentioned news clippings, accolades and tracking the Sawyer family. All the while the blondes radio call is playing in the background as Sally is gutting the pig. It has her attention but she doesn’t stop until she hears about him wearing the face like a mask. Then she turns to the camera, narrows her eyes and looks off to some supped up weapon she’s had just for this moment, right next to the van picture of her and her friends. . Then the camera cuts back to her and you know, shits about to go down.

Have her find the two sisters screaming running from Leatherface. She piledrives her truck into him knocking him back. She comes out. Guns ready. He limps off. She tells the girls who she is, and how she’s been waiting for him to pop back up. Arm the girls. Tell them this is not a situation they can walk away from. She’s going to need their help if they want to survive this. Have them all work together and take him out. You can still have him limp off at the end because of course why not. But the main point is you still get a hell of a lot more use and purpose out of your returning actress. You can still sacrifice her. But maybe in a Freddy vs Jason way. He stabs and chainsaws her. But she’s got a grenade. Or she jabs a meat hook into his face. The sisters limp off down the road until cops arrive. Meanwhile a warn down bleeding Leatherface escapes.

There isn’t much you can do for the influencers. None of them mattered past them getting to the setup. The most we get out of them is, well not much. One guy is the leader of the group. It was him and his influencer wifes plan to buy up property in the dead town and turn it into a thriving SOHO. His wife supports him and that’s all we get. As for the sisters. The main sister who survives, we are told this sister survived a school shooting. So she is anti gun, carries a scar from the shooting, and is there in support of her sister who supports these two people leading the purchase-a-town soho project.

However through small scenes in the movie we learn that, for unknown reasons. The dead sister doesn’t trust her survivor sister. She treats her like a fuck up and even bitches her out at one point, for something we have no background on.

The dead sister goes looking for survivor sister early on in the movie while they are in the ghost town. There is a redneck there that they do not get along with. But survivor sister tries to make polite conversation with. So dead sister goes to the garage where bad redneck guy is, She finds him sitting on a cot giving a smirk to her. She ask where her sister is. He motions to the bathroom door. Her sister comes out of the bathroom, buttoning her pants up. Dead sister immediately gives her and treats her with a ‘Oh bitch you did not just slut yourself with this redneck” Survivor sister even calls her out on it. “Do you think I just fucked that guy?” Which her sister responds with she wouldn’t be surprised as it’s not the first fuck up she’s made.

You obviously had some background for these two, so why not give it to us? Why just have them bicker and casually toss out something like that. Why setup a scene like that, meant to upset her sister and draw memory from an event we are unaware of that would cause her to react this way. Why do any of that, if you won’t tell us?

She could’ve had a casual conversation with the redneck, apologizing for how her sister was acting earlier, and explained to him why she’s there, some of her history with her sister. Something. The setup was there. But they instead use it to tell us she was in a school shooting. She was shot, survived, and that is her character.

But also her sister calls her a constant fuck up she has to care for, and readily believes her sister fucked a stranger redneck. For no reason.

They could’ve explained more of what happened to the town. How did it become a ghost town? Was it tied to the Sawyer murders? Was it just so out of the way no one could make a living so they all ditched it?

In the end it just doesn’t matter. Because we were supposed to be cheering for Leatherface killing hipster influencers and cheer for Sally.

Fuck, if they said Franklin somehow survived, and he spent 50 years building a mech warrior out of his wheelchair to take down Leatherface I would’ve been more entertained. I’d still think it was bullshit but at least it’d be entertaining bullshit.

This movie was made purely and simply for nostalgic profit. They are hoping that, the idea of seeing a new Leatherface film, will sell you on watching. They want you to believe Sally in her cameo will be super cool. They’re hoping you will watch it for a handful of gore and a very small number of fun deaths. Because again. That’s the curve on the horror genre they’re betting on. It’s all about the kills. Fuck the story.

It's a lot like porn.

Unfortunately.

So there used to be story driven porn. Even ridiculous incredibly nonsensical stories were in porn. Pretty Peaches, a girl has a jeep crash, forgets who she is, and has sex with lots of people on her way to her dads wedding, where thanks to a large gang bang she remembers who she is and why she’s there.  Trashy lady, a mobster finds an attractive woman, but he can’t date her because she’s too pure. He likes trashy ladies. So he tells his friend to help make her a trashy lady he can date. By having her have random sex with other people. The Telephone Book, a woman receives a dirty call on her phone, and suddenly the two are in love and having dirty phone sex every day. She sets out to find the man behind the voice. Leading her on an adventure of meeting sex perverts whom she doesn’t have sex with, but each have their own kinks and they all help her to find the man of her dreams. PIRATES!! A crew of pirate hunters come across a woman who tells them about her husbands ship being attacked by the feared pirate Victor Stagnetti, and his quest to find a sacred staff to unlock an evil that would make him immortal and rule the world over. So pirate hunter Edward and his crew comically fight off the pirates on their adventure, while having sex with multiple people along the way. Silent Whispers. The ghost of two lovers are summoned in a séance and begin possessing those in the group that summoned them to make love one last night before returning to their graves.

Then we have standard porn like you find on porn hub. Which is just people straight up fucking. It’s not nearly as fun, and its just dirty(for most). If you just film sex, you know what your getting out of it, and it can become stale and boring real quick. But if you add in some story. Setup, and something to hook your audience. A pirate adventure, ghost lovers, dirty phone calls. Just the tiniest bit can change a boring film into something worth watching. It even helps you pay attention.

But assuming your audience is the lowest common denominator, giving them a blood bath with little reason or purpose. Just to show us a man in a latex mask kill the survivor of a film made in the 70’s

You know whats kind of sad? Their was an often forgotten about reboot sequel, simply called Texas Chainsaw. Came out in 2016 and was made for 3D.

That film begins where the first film ends. They brought in Bill Mosely to play Drayton Sawyer, who ran the gas station in the first film. Mosely also played Chop Top, one of the sawyer sons in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. They showed the aftermath of the first film and the violent shootout with the cops and the Sawyer family. Leading to Leatherface escaping and a baby in the family. In the film there’s a group of friends who head out to a large home that one of the friends inherited from a family members death. We learn through the film that the girl who inherited the house, was the baby of the Sawyer family. Leatherface was her protector. We learn about the towns hatred of the family and them killing her mother. It villainized the towns sheriff and son, made the bad guys out to be the good guys. But it had some legitimately fun and good background story building. Having an aging leatherface with no one to care for him, going out on a killing spree. Only to learn he does have one family member left and now will protect them as they both take on the corrupt town. It's a story made to kill lots of people. But everyone that died had a story. A purpose, and we learned about them. There was a douchebag, a cheating best friend. And some good people. As well as corrupt people. But they all got some sort of story to them and we got to hear them. It could’ve been an absolute shit film. It almost was honestly. But it was entertaining and the people actually cared about what they were doing.

Not a lot of people talk about that movie. I believe mostly because there are so many damn Chainsaw movies out there, it just gets lost in the loop.

Shit even Matthew McConaughey was in one of them.

If you see this movie. It’s your dime pal. But I’m just warning you. You know what your in store for. It wasn’t even really sold that well which is even more a telling sign. I highly recommend skipping the film. Revisit the first one and its sequel. Especially the sequel.

As out there as it was, and a weird telling of Alice in Wonderland. The Texas Chainsaw massacre 2 is an amazing and fun ride, with a great barely spoken role played by Dennis Hopper as Franklin’s dad, out for revenge. Buying and wielding two chainsaws. Again. Something better than this piece of garbage.

Please don’t see the movie. But if you do. Godspeed. And prayers to you all but, you were warned.
