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 (LAist) 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 Meredith Jill Brown Upcoming Horror Movies Gory, gruesome and oh-so-brutal! Rated: 6/10 Jul 17, 2025 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 Read all reviews

Audience Member Leatherface is human so why can he eat 2 shotgun shots, drowning, and a chainsaw to the face and still be able to walk across almost the whole town of Harlow? And sally hardesty is like a knock-off Laurie strode atp. And she’s also human and she took a chainsaw to the stomach for many seconds and she is still alive for multiple minutes after. The two main characters are really annoying, and so are 99% of all of the other characters. Worst movie in the franchise. This got a 1.5/5 star review because we got to see sally, and that’s really it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Geusty B It was pure gore (which I love :p) the story building was short but not to short, the acting was great. Everyone I the movie was quite dumb but in an enjoyable way. Reason for 4 stars is because some of the acting or scenes were bad or didn't make sense Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Audience Member It is what it is. You know going in that it's going to be a blood bath, slashing, smashing and every piece of gore they can throw in between. And do they deliver. This isn't your literary horror work like Dracula or Frankenstein. It's not Freddy or Jason. It's old Leatherface and he does terror like no other. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Jake B Worst Texas chainsaw massacre ever Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Kristopher P I don’t think any of these people watched this movie. It’s got a great premise and different from the other movies. Dude is pissed off these out of towners tried to force his mom out of her property. She dies of heart attack and then hold on because this dude is pissed. That bus scene was epic. I loved it worth a watch. You can’t remake the same movie over a 1000 times and not change it up. By far the goriest one of all. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/25 Full Review Audience Member Holy ass. only good thing is leather face. The two main caracters where insufferble to wach, and they did nothing exept cry Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
