There’s not a single character the viewer can root for other than the old guy with the mask made of human skin.
#THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE CINEMATIC UNIVERSE MOVIE#
One of Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s most puzzling decisions (but not its most infuriating - that will come later) is its positioning of an entire generation of people as the villain in a movie about a man who murders people with a chainsaw. If you need a moment to re-read that last sentence, I completely understand. Mc dies of a heart attack brought on by the stress of Austin gentrifiers kicking her out of her house so that they can turn the ghost town of Harlow, Texas, into a haven for wealthy Gen Z investors who are sick and tired of city life. Those impulses come roaring back when Mrs. His murderous impulses have been kept at bay by the woman running the orphanage, Mrs. The film is a direct sequel to Tobe Hooper’s 1974 classic, and it posits that Leatherface (Mark Burnham) has been living in an orphanage since the events of the original film.
But director David Blue Garcia and writer Chris Thomas Devlin’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre strains even the most generous horror fan’s credulity. There’s a certain amount of hand-waving required to enjoy any film in this franchise after the original, given the notoriously convoluted and contradictory lore built up over the years. Instead, Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre creates a cruel, disjointed, and occasionally insulting story that leaves you wondering who, exactly, the intended audience is. The newest entry in the franchise, which similarly suffers from more idiosyncratic naming conventions than any other genre franchise, attempts to move the story of Leatherface out of the past and squarely into 2022. With rare (and hotly debated) exceptions, filmmakers have struggled to come close to what makes the original so enduring and effective. Horror masterpiece The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has spawned some of the most idiosyncratic sequels, remakes, and prequels in the history of the genre.
