Texas Chainsaw Massacre(2022)

I got to admit I was feeling it!

Conceptually, this is a direct sequel to the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre which means Leatherface has got to be on the young side of seventy, out here killing teenagers (the normal slasher film architype). So, what you’re looking at is a metaphor on how an old school player is teaching these youngins how it goes down.

There is a moment in which Leatherface shows his genuine emotions of how he feels about today’s youth and cancel culture that really got me into this film. Then I loved how the original slasher pulled out all his old moves like an aging wrestler getting back into the ring for that nostalgia paycheck. There were a lot of scenes that were just shot for shot from the original movie, but it just felt like a you can’t teach an old dog new tricks angle than copying for fan service (when I’m sure it’s the latter overall)

It starts off unimpressively slow, but is filled with good kills, so you can’t go wrong.
