Texas Chainsaw Massacre

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Texas Chainsaw Massacre doesn't skimp on the gore, but Leatherface may have irrevocably lost his ability to terrify.

Audience Says

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is gory, but it isn't very scary -- and it definitely doesn't help that the story hardly makes any sense.

Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's very, very, very gory, and only 81 minutes long but feels much longer. Mar 11, 2022 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review Hey, less annoying than Halloween Kills...but it doesn't need to exist. Mar 9, 2022 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News The original film inspired nightmares; this one makes you giggle and leaves you bored. Rated: 1/4 Feb 25, 2022 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 is a gnarly movie but is otherwise uninteresting and, in some ways, boring. The cash grab attempt, specifically, is quite blatant. Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net Texas Chainsaw Massacre is so shallow and meaningless that any subtext is impossible. It just wants to get to the killing, and it doesn’t care what it has to do to get there. Rated: 1/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Maxance Vincent InSession Film Texas Chainsaw Massacre completely ruins the original, and any fan of that movie should steer far, far away from its latest installment and hope that the franchise will now stay dead and buried for good.

7x__m10 _ ‏This movie is worth less than half a star. Simply put, the work was very bad. The ending is very bad and absolutely illogical. Skip this movie if you don't want to waste your time Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Dylan H Most of the characters are unlikeable and the likeable ones get killed off first, also i don't like how they tried to make bubba/leatherface supernatural when he's always been portrayed as human. I also don't like where they went with sally's character in the movie, it was like a laurie strode done wrong. It just doesn't make sense for sally's character imo Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Gerard M The casting was awful. Almost all of the characters were unlikeable from the get go. Then you have not one but at least 2 characters who “come back to life” after being brutally attacked by a chainsaw. They were sooooo slow at making decisions it was infuriating. But if you’re looking for something with low expectations there are *some* enjoyable parts. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Eddie K Bad,fun and massacre it is name in the title and trying to be Halloween 2018 ha make sense for Halloween not Texas chainsaw 4/10 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Audience Member ts (this) so buns 💔💔💔😭😭😭😭 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Audience Member I actually expected some sort of like continuation to the first movie about this but like, there were so many things wrong with this one and a bunch of stuff that were so questionable? Like, during the introduction, I was so confused when Mel just kept insulting Richter?? For no good reason at all?? It was just confusing and for me made no sense for Mel's character at all cause in the rest of the movie we see she has some strong sense of justice and she isn't as bitchy as she was in the beginning so there was kinda no consistency? And I get that the jumpscares, the gore, and the suspense was scary, but at some point it just became annoying? It got repetitive quick, like I could easily tell who would die next by the middle of the movie. The twists as well, and the fact that somehow Sally survived that one attack from leatherface ??? for that long?? And how she didn't bother to shoot him WHEN she had him in a corner during that one scene??? What??? I can't write coherent reviews, but I genuinely can't express how borderline corny this movie was. At one point during the end, I literally predicted that leatherface would somehow survive two gunshots and a chainsaw to the face while drowning and I was correct like wtf It's a fun slasher movie to like.. watch I guess but if you don't wanna cuss and like get pissed off by all of the characters in the movie just watch something else Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
