The first kill was definitely my favorite. My biggest complaint about this movie is how much damage Leatherface took in this movie and how intelligent he is. Leatherface is essentially a normal big guy who has the mind of an 8 year old, he's not supernatural at all nor does he lay traps for victims. 5 rounds of buckshot, a knife to the gut and a chainsaw to the face yet he still walks away like nothing happened!

I agree the story might not have been amazing for this one but you gotta admit the gore and the small little details they added are pretty cool apparently they even got to use one of the original chainsaws used from the original in this too. Personally I feel TCM2022 feels more like a sequal to Texas Chainsaw 3D or its own storyline on its own. You could say the reason Leatherface took his mothers face is because 50 years later this is Alexandira Daddarios character as Leatherfaces new caretaker whom tried to wean Leatherface out of his old ways by turning their mansion into an orphanage which would explain why the old lady in 2022 kep saying she had the deed to the house (cause she does and did) and its the emotional attachment for leatherface when Alexandira Daddarios character died he snapped again and took her face so they could always be together even after she died cause the only one who truly loved leatherface was Alexandria Daddario, she even helped free him and kill the man that wronged their family.

The Sally character was the one clear aspect of the movie I disliked. There was not enough development for an iconic character in this franchise.

She was angry/confused at that and wanted dialogue with him.

The original TCM is still the scariest movie I've ever seen, and what blows me away about it is how little gore there actually is. The terror comes from the fact that anyone could've stumbled into that situation, and that we were watching something it feels like we shouldn't be because of how horrifying it is. This new one put so much emphasis on the blood and gore that I, a horror fan who gets scared when my fridge makes a random sound at 1 a.m., barely felt any tension or fear the entire time. I know the sequels included a lot more blood and stuff, but I think this new one especially just kind of ignored what made the original so scary. (Also Sally Hardesty didn't jump out a window three times and survive 24 hours of hell on earth for this film to disrespect her like this!!) I thought the actors did a good job with what they were given but not having Leatherface have a family to bounce off of also weakened this imo. Thanks for another great video Sarah! ❤️

@coreyallen60412 жыл бұрын
I'll be honest - I'm really sad with this TCM film. I have a couple thoughts as to why (Just my opinion of course! I loved your takes on the film!) 1 - Everyone was wayyyy too dumb. I get it, it's part of the genre - but the OG was so scary because you could see yourself in the characters at times. There was a lot of "Well what else would you do?" in the OG. There were some funny, campy moments like when the people in the bus pulled out their phones - but for nobody to really try to fight back and just be content with getting slaughtered was a bit much for me. One of the sisters stays under the bed for what felt like half of the film as well. Hardesty's entire character was frustratingly dim as well. The only smart character felt like Leatherface... the one who is supposed to NOT be. 2 - Hardesty... just... why they do my girl like that? She's just been brooding in a crappy house in Texas? Gets a call from the shop owner, who calls... just her? She ignores the police radio when she finds the van? She makes the sisters stay in her car while she goes to... yell at Leatherface? Then he walks out and she lets him? Like what even was happening with her character. So many of the characters were super half-baked - but her especially - disrespectful imho. 3 - There were some great opportunities and moments - but poor writing really was the most impressive kill in the whole film. The bus scene was admittedly a clever idea (Outside of the bank lady not telling anybody that someone was straight up murdered). It just felt like, maybe a couple more people escaping or fighting back would've taken it to another level. Unnamed blonde victim #1 endured a tonnn of terror just to be cut with glass. Wasted that sunflower setting a bit imho. Overall, really disappointing to me - in just the fact that it was written so haphazardly for such an iconic franchise. Maybe I'm not the target audience - I understand why folks would love it - just not for me. I'm really missing intelligent writing in slasher films lately. Enough to come here and post my own rant. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in this video though! Great analysis. ^.^

As a school shooting survivor myself, the way they just randomly sprung it on us that one girl was a victim of one straight up sent me into a panic attack. It was horrible and felt like it was used solely for shock factor. Completely disrespectful and I’m more than sure that none of the people involved on this film have ever been through what me and so many others have been through and still suffer because of. Totally tone deaf and insensitive. We did not need to see that poor girl laying in a puddle of blood surrounded by other dead students. Hell, they could have even had that and kept it implied by just showing us her scar. Horror is supposed to be an escape, not a reminder. I can’t even enjoy horror movies now without my real life trauma coming back up. The beauty of the genre is that the killers are so outlandish that they’re clearly fake and a metaphor. Cannibals with chainsaws from Texas or zombie Jason or inhuman Michael Myers aren’t real and we can put our fears into them. This movie genuinely made me so upset and disappointed. If they don’t want us to take it so seriously, maybe this movie shouldn’t have tried to throw so many flimsy themes about social issues at us and shouldn’t have handled them so poorly.

The only thing besides the kills that I liked was how scary they made Leatherface. Not the like "able to survive being shot and chainsawed" part, but I've always thought he was physically scarier than Jason or Michael. We're conditioned in the slasher genre to see these giants slowly and ominously walk at their victims, so every time Leatherface full on barrels at victims in a full sprint, I almost shit myself. I've always thought the way he moved was more scary than the other slasher killers.

I watched the movie last night after having a ✨special gummy✨ & I have never laughed so much at a horror movie. BUT I didn't completely dislike it? I thought it was terrible & I did not like any of the characters including Leatherface, but I was entertained by how bad it was & enjoyed calling out all the flaws. Overall, I felt very detached from the movie being in the Texas franchise so really it just felt like I was watching a random campy slasher.

100% agree. Funny thing is, my expectations were already low just for the sole fact it was going straight to Netflix, and it was still worse than I thought. Don't get me wrong, there was quite a bit I liked about it, but overall, I thought the movie was a letdown. My main criticisms are: - Almost non of the younger characters are likeable (except for Lilah, she's the only one it feels like they gave any depth to). - The political message is about as subtle as a jackhammer (I get the original also had a political message, but that one was more nuanced). - It feels like Sally as a character was disrespected and treated like an idiot before they decide to kill her off (which is starting to feel like a trend in these horror movie reboots. Ironically, it was Star Wars that really kicked this whole thing off). I dunno. It feels like there's a good movie in here somewhere, but it's overshadowed by a bunch of other crap. Side note, going back to what I said earlier, am I the only one who has noticed this trend in horror movies, where they bring back legacy characters just to kill them off? It really is funny that this all started with the Star Wars sequels, since those aren't horror movies, yet Texas Chainsaw, Halloween, Scream, and other recent horror films seem to do this the most. Hell, they also like to throw in the "subverting expectations" twist that The Last Jedi popularized, where the main character finds out they're not the center of the story. Kylo Ren told Rey she's a nobody (which they retconned in the next film), Laurie Strode was told Michael was never after her, and now, Sally Hardesty finds out that Leatherface doesn't even remember her. Weird, ain't it?

Just a normal guy minding his own business and now he is stuck in this situation because of these dumb characters. So he has survive and get out of there. Oh well, let this franchise just rip.

I showed the trailer to my wife -- who is in no way a horror fan or even that knowledgeable about horror in general. Her reaction -- "This just looks really bad." Enough of a reason for me to steer clear. EDIT: Imagine if all the money and effort being thrown at these reboots and remakes were instead re-directed at new properties. New experiences. New stories. Stuff we haven't seen/heard before. Imagine that. I loved the original Halloween and the first few sequels but these new movies have extended the original premise well past the point of credulity. It's time to let them go. There's nothing left in the tank -- empty. Same with Chain Saw. My favorite 80's horror franchise was the Elm Street franchise but I'm perfectly content to never see another Elm Street movie. It's over. Nowhere else to go with it. Nothing will ever match the sheer joy (or terror) of discovery of that first movie. That story is over. Tell a new one.

When I say Sally was coming back I was even more on board and expecting a Halloween 2018 showdown. But with the out of nowhere death I was like what was the point of her even being there. The main hipster sister who's name I've completely forgotten was honestly the character I was lime how am I supposed to root for her. The final scene I knew what was going to happen but how it happened I was like why, the younger sister could have gotten out of the car it was going 5 miles and hour. The timeline of leather face was even confusing. It started off saying it was a true story an I believed him to be in his 30s or so so then when the orphanage storyline happened I was left wondering are there two different leather faces? Which would explain his first run into Sally where he completely ignored her I was thinking it is a different leatherface.

This was actually my least favourite TCM. This did not feel like a Texas Chainsaw Massacre to me. I was really excited to see Fede Alvarez writing this movie because he did amazing on the Evil Dead reboot (it’s one of my favourite movies), but this was absolutely horrible. I also thought the gore started off great but it kind of got really weird. Chainsaws are NOT knives, but it was slicing like a knife. Also, I disliked every single character in that movie. The political statements were also really annoying and confusing, I couldn’t tell if it was anti-gun or pro-gun. IMO the fact that the original TCM has little to no gore but still made you feel this pure disgust and sickness. The cinematography was a big part of that too. The cinematographer did amazing in this movie, but it didn’t feel like TCM. I was excited to see Fede Alvarez and Leatherface, but I did see a lot of hate so I also wasn’t expecting much. I was still disappointed. Good review! (Also, I completely agree with your rant!)

Mel was pretty smart, jumping over the banister to avoid the squeaky floorboards, tipping the mirror to let the cowboy know LF was behind the door, using the corkscrew to get out of the bus... I felt between the 2 she earned the right to live whereas Lila is just... there. She doesn't do much. I think they should have switched the ending so Lila died and Mel lived. Also, I like how deeply Mel was affected by the old woman's death, she had real guilt over it.

Michael Myers, Freddie, Jason, etc. just don't scare me like Bubba does. I also think the 03 remake was the first ever horror movie I watched which probably has something to do with my love for it. I was born in 98 so I didn't get around to horror movies until it came out and my mom bought it. Anyways I know were sick of the TCM remakes/prequels/sequels, but I can typically see them as a stand alone and separate it from the rest. Hopefully that makes it more enjoyable for me.

I ALSO can comfortably say the scariest horror movie I've seen was All Hallows Eve... I mean, my favorite dark comedy is Jawbreaker. Ju on and Ringu are what brought me into the genre, and I loved Sadako Vs Kayako. I feel like there's too much absolutism in the horror community. I haven't seen this movie, nor do I plan to, but imo, a movie should be enjoyable. What these bad horror remake and sequels are lacking is the camp factor. A bad movie that is bland is the worst kind of movie. I'm not gonna shit on someone for liking say... The nightmare on elm street remake. Frankly I'm just tired of this era. It feels like it's neverending. The a24 family drama era coincided with the requel era... And lasted less than 5 years (imo it started in 2016 and ended in late 2020). I haven't felt true excitement for a horror movie since 2020 till now for Sadako DX. I wish we could get something new. Doesn't have to be good. Just new. And I wish we could stop with the infighting in the community.

It's a really typical slasher movie. Outside of a half-hearted attempt at getting you to care about 2 sisters it's pretty much an insane gore fest. Even as someone who has been watching horror for well over 2 decades at this point there are moments in this film that are so brutal and extreme that it genuinely feels like people where actually murdered on screen just to make this movie. If you're familiar with the slasher genre you know the drill. Stupid characters that aren't particularly likable, efficiently creepy ambiance, insanely gratuitous violence, and plentiful jump scares. If you like all that, you'll probably like this movie.

Yeah I have to agree on the levels of violence and gore...this was the kind of thing you would see in an Olaf Ittenbach movie, but on a multi-million dollar budget.

i'll call bullshit on the unlikable characters part because in some of the older ones, you get characters that are charming/charismatic or have something redeeming about them. they are a fun hang, even if they call crispin glover a dead fuck. they're not these obnoxious assholes that you root for somebody, hell the rest of the main cast to murder them upon meeting them. i want characters to root for in slashers, because it's gonna hurt when they get the ax. if i just root for them to get killed, it's not gonna make me want to rewatch the movie.

Am I the only one who loved the movie. It was just so brutal (I like the gore in it) and also the ending was really surprising.😊 But I respect everyone’s opinion, just pls don’t hate me for liking😅

I like a good mix of originals and sequels/reboots/remakes. My favorite horror movies of the last 5 years are Ready Or Not, Hereditary, and Halloween (2018). I do feel like Hollywood as a whole has the sequel problem right now. For example, if an original movie is released at the same time a new Spider-man is released, it’s probably going to be overshadowed. I don’t think there’s a solution to this problem. I also don’t think it’s right to tell people to stop watching sequels.

I actually really liked this movie most of the characters who died I was kinda glad as they were annoying except the mechanic who I cant remember the name, but I really really enjoy they kills and leather face. Taking it is some 40 or 50 odd years later I can see him being smarter
