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

1.5/5
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

R T @RT44834321 Aug 25 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 Was boring, don’t recommend See more Houde F @houde Aug 4 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 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 3/10 Remake, woke Abandoned town Texas. Unprepared liberals. Violent and Gorey, no substance. 3/10 See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 15 Uma sequela preguiçosa e descartável que vive apenas de violência gráfica gratuita e mutilações exageradas para mascarar um roteiro sem pés nem cabeça. Os personagens tomam as decisões mais idiotas possíveis, o ritmo é atropelado e a descaracterização do Leatherface transforma uma lenda do terror num vilão genérico de slasher de terceira categoria.
