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.

It's very, very, very gory, and only 81 minutes long but feels much longer. Go to Full Review

7/10
It’s gross, hard to watch in parts, extremely gorey, and I didn’t care about any of the characters – meaning it literally checks every single box needed to be a “passable slasher”. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Jayden L @RT43607744 Sep 8, 2026 Yeah this movie is terrible, yes the gore is enjoyable, but the overall writing isn’t good at all. Multiple bad decisions and zero survival instincts. The scene when the police car crashed is sort of realistic but everything after that is complete plot armor. The sisters should’ve never survived and the old lady had several opportunities to end the movie. The girl who ran past him on the bus and tried to climb out of the window even though she had a clear path off the bus. The little sister literally crawling out of the pool as if the killer isn’t right behind her. The older sister crashing the car. The old lady giving them the keys after the fact. For some reason everyone needs to get his attention before shooting. I mean there was literally no common sense used. See more R T @RT44834321 Aug 25, 2026 I didn’t know a movie could be so bad. They didn’t even know which slasher they were adapting and somehow mixed up Jason Voorhees and Leather Face. I couldn’t stop laughing at how bad it was. Don’t watch this. I saw it for free and still fell robbed. See more R T @RT12953856 Aug 24, 2026 Was boring, don’t recommend See more Houde F @houde Aug 4, 2026 TCM sat on my watchlist for a while because I doubted it would deliver, but I was pleasantly surprised. While the story unfolds in a tight, compact scale - so don't expect sprawling atmospheric environments - everything feels entirely logical and coherent within its boundaries. Best of all, the ending is consequent: relentless, uncompromising, and fantastically executed. See more Reyes T @RT44468283 Aug 1, 2026 Bad script, bad acting, bad decision-making, bad logic. Leatherface moved way too fast for an 80-year-old. He survives multiple gunshots and injuries. Sally, the returning survivor, miraculously lives long enough to injure Leatherface, despite having just been lifted into the air with a chainsaw through the stomach. The people on the bus made no attempt to escape, or even overpower Leatherface. Just scream until it's their turn. The final scene seemed like they were advertising the Tesla. Not worth the watch. See more J H @UpstateNYThriller Jul 22, 2026 3/10 Remake, woke Abandoned town Texas. Unprepared liberals. Violent and Gorey, no substance. 3/10 See more Read all reviews
