I think any slasher lover will enjoy it. The kills are creative and gory AF. It sure is a massacre! P.S. I totally agree with you on Sally's death, it felt like she was wasted. Also, how was she still conscious after having a chainsaw rip through her body?!

Great review! Sadly I think this Texas Chainsaw Requil masaceres what's left of the franchise. Having Sally return in full on Sarah Connorr made waa just silly

The mechanic guy should have been the hero. That would have been a good twist. He's just minding his own business, not bothering anybody. And now has to deal with this situation because of these dumb characters. Oh well, this was more Halloween Kills and just 10 mins Halloween 2018. If you want massacre, it will give you that. Now let this franchise just RIP. Part 2 will always be the true sequel to the original.

"That one with the - Jason guy or whatever." Comedy GOLD.

Sally was such a joke in this movie made me scratch my head at all her moments in it lol

We need another new direct sequel but have it still set in the seventies filmed in actual Texas and make it very a24 creepy/eerie rather than full out attacks like this movie. That’s what I need

The whole Sally say my name business would have made a better ending to the movie and she actually blows his head off.

I literally made the same exact Final Destination comment at that scene when I watched the movie lol

Excellent review, as always! Keep up the great work!!

I loved hearing your thoughts!! I feel like I fall in the middle of the fan base in the fact that I totally see all the flaws in this and the arguments on each side but I'm just sitting here like it was fun, some of it was super stupid, but I was entertained!

they tried to make sally a carbon copy of laurie strode. “i’ve waited 50 years for this”

I thought it was a fun popcorn movie. The Texas troupe dude is definitely my favorite character

the bus scene was amazing

I also have a couple things about the part 2 movie that a lot of people may not have realized. 1 when leatherface first encounters stretch, when he plunges the saw into the ice, there's a brief moment where you can see his chain came off the saw. 2 lefty had his chain on backwards lol.

Some of us who really love TCM movies are also into chainsaws. I have over 20 chainsaws including the one from this movie and I also have a nearly screen accurate Lefty chainsaw plus the 2 small saws he used. That being said... I know a thing or 2 about them. This movie tries to suggest that this is the original chainsaw from the first movie. They ran with the idea that the og saw was a poulan 306a and just got a 306a and didn't even attempt to make it look anything like the og saw. Poulan made a 306a and a 245a. The 245a is a more powerful saw then a 306a. It also has a bigger gas tank and is overall a bigger more robust saw... the og movie either used a 245a or they made a 306a look like a 245a. So really, for it supposed to be the original saw, they sure didn't do a lot of research on it. Fans own more accurate saws then what was in this movie. That's just one of my complaints.

The kills and gore was good but the og movie never relied on that. It was a more bizarre psychological trip. Alot of the newer movies also seem to miss the occult undertone of the first 2 movies. I also preferred leatherface in cowboy boots as odd as that sounds.

Very surprised to learn this was written by the same guys who wrote the Evil Dead remake & Don't Breathe, I liked both of those (sorry for the unpopular opinion lol) Totally agree that the movie looked really nice, the cinematography/art direction was top-notch, also the kills were really well done & creative. But... the "plot" & script were nonsensical & the dialogue was TERRIBLE. We all have to suspend disbelief at times during movies, but this film asked too much of that lol And so many of the plot holes & bad writing could have easily been workshopped/fixed very easily (like you said), it was frustrating to watch.

He's been living "next door" the whole time. Currently as one of 3 inhabitants in the town. They could have skipped the TCM connection and just make it the low budget entertaining slasher it actually is.

Love the Trixie reference :) I agree with you about the continuity issues and had myself questioning if Leatherface could really be 80 years old and that lady still be his mother. meh. But I think it's still a fun movie to watch if you're not thinking too deeply about the timespan of it all.

For TCM (2022), I expected nothing more than a fun, none sense, gorefest of a movie and that’s what I got with some good acting from the main leads who played the sisters, great cinematography, and this version of Leatherface is probably the scariest. I actually rank this one 2nd place right behind the original. I give it a 3.5/5. With the TCM series, all the sequels imo are nothing more than gory, fun, messy films (except for the 3rd one which was a complete bore to me). Nothing can top the original in terms of quality, uneasiness, and its raw visual presentation. Thoughts on doing a requel comparison video between Halloween (2018) and TCM (2022) or a carnage candy comparison video between TCM (2022) and Halloween Kills?

Your skits are fucking hilarious 😂 And I completely agree with your take.

It was number 1 on trending so I had very high expectations going in 🤣

I don’t think they really understand the character of leatherface. He’s a coward at heart and is driven to kill by his family as his last resort because he’s more afraid of them than he is of his victims. He would’ve either attacked immediately or run away with his chainsaw between his legs. He is not Jason

Well I watched your review again and yes you got it right. Anyway, Leatherfaces keeper, mother or whoever is Alice Krige. She did a movie, Ghost Story in 1981 that I thought was so good I recently found and purchased at a local thrift. There's no gore but a good story that you might check out if you've not seen.

This movie felt like it had identity crisis. On the one hand it wants to be campy with some super over-the-top kills, and satirical with the traditional Texas town vs. cringey influencers conflict. On the other hand, they interject so many misguided buzz word Issues™ and try to play it so straight it falls on its face. I would've liked it a lot more if they either committed to the camp (like TCM2), or made a straight up slasher without clumsy attempts at being topical.

The entire 3rd act was comedy. A few cool kills on the bus but I must've yelled at my TV 6 or 7 times the last 35 minutes of the movie. I paused the movie a few times just to catch my breath from laughing so hard. 5/10 AT BEST

I found it surprisingly entertaining. It felt like they tried to squeeze every idea they had into the film, which makes me wonder if a lot of stuff got cut, or they just didn't bother fleshing any of them out. In a weird way, this kinda added to the fun as I no idea what was gonna happen next. Also, what is your view on the post credit scene?.

Can you do a review about Zombie 1979

Big up only support for you!

Just discovered your channel & have to say I found this movie to be terrible & not in a so bad it's good way. You're criticisms are spot on.

Honestly no TCM will ever top the 2003 remake and its prequel for me, it just has the perfect setup where no matter where the protagonists go as long as they're in that part of Texas they're going to run into another member of the family or someone who supports them and that makes it much more terrifying for me because unless you catch someone else passing through the town to get out its absolutely hopeless and Leatherface is just the executioner for all of the people who decided to pass through that area with the rest of that network just herding them towards that end. If I had to get someone into the series I'd recommend those for the story because it's passable at least and the dark humor (Hoyt admonishing Leatherface for sloppy work when amputating a leg being one of my favorite scenes) without ever fully turning into outright parody. Thats just my opinion though, I liked the first 2 TCM movies and besides the 2003 and 2006 ones I wouldn't have gone near any of them if I didn't already enjoy the series because its just so hit or miss, didn't like this one either but if another one comes out I will probably watch it anyway just because I want to see what they'll do with Leatherface (the one constant in all the movies that I can cling onto) but I would not recommend this to any of my friends as an example of the series. Didn't mean to get that into it when I started typing but yeah, overall didn't like the movie, liked your opinions on it, like Texas Chainsaw in general and like the content on this channel

I’m a massive TCM fan. Leatherface and Jason were the shit, sorry, country boy, and life long nerd, who was picked on until 18. so it’s cathartic to see the picked on demographic be damn near unstoppable. This installment, was pretty rotten. The political stuff was muddy as shit, an the plot went nowhere. Upside, Leatherface was badass, and this is the only time we’ve seen an actual massacre in a TCM piece. Once again, bang up job, love your work.

heard about this new movie Seen the original movie and Texas Chainsaw Massacre the Beginning as well.

Kills were brutal in this one and the cinematography and look of the movie were pretty decent! Not awful for a Netflix movie, but I’d never pay to watch this in theaters!

Loved your review. I didn't really like this movie. Some of the cinematography was great and so was some of the gore, but the characters were all terrible and their acting not much better. Sally character was just pointless and stupid. Waited 50 years for that moment only to want to have a chat instead of blowing his head off. I was waiting for her to go put the kettle on. The ending was so predictable and looked fake as hell. If you haven't already could you please review the 2 Wolfcreek movies from Australia. Cheers

I agree with your opinions Kylie! Love the video! I think sally was definitely wasted potential in this film.

it was an ok popcorn flick and that was all. the cinematography and set pieces were great! but they gave no thought to that script whatsoever and it shows

I couldn't agree more. I watched the first 5 minutes and I was pissed. The plot makes no sense; the characters pissed me off, and they just butchered a great movie. They should have just left it alone. The kills were amazing, and it kept you in freaking suspense... But the movie gets no love from me. 😞

Sweet Home was alright.

For me no I don't need another one after this as I'm not a really big fan of this entire franchise. I did like the cowboy Ritcher (I believe is his name). I didn't understand bringing Sally back and not making her a kick ass final girl that was just a waste. And you are so right on the plots, the subplots etc. nothing meshed at all especially the school shooting story they threw in there. So, once is enough for me on this TCM movie. I Love your review which is the best thing about this movie!!

Great review i looked at it Saturday i enjoyed it i just want to see leatherface 🔥🔥🔥💯 the bus scene was my favorite

Good review, HH....i think i may skip this latest one

This movie is literally the "Halloween kills" of the TCM franchise. A shit plot with dumb characters, gruesome kills, a legacy character whom the killer doesn't give a shit about that does nothing & a badass killer in a mask who is supposed to be human but then by the end isn't human because reasons. Just like Halloween Kills did I think it was a good move? hell no but it entertained me while watching, mostly just laughing at the ppl getting sliced up.

I expected a disaster after reading the test-screening reviews (which were probably done by the Flanders family) but I got a freakin`awesome Leatherface adventure that is much better than the disappointing Halloween Kills. Sure, it can not touch TCM 1 or 2 (ntohing can) but it is slightly better than 3D and The Beginning and way better than the rest of the franchise (IMO of course). Movie kept me entertained from start to finish. Cinematography and sets were great. Characters did their job: It was "City Slickers meets TCM". The bus massacre was hilarious and disturbing at the same time. With the amount of (positive) buzz the movie is currently getting I guess the chainsaw will be turned on again soon... just put in in theatres again. And I hope to see a physical release of TCM22.

I'll basically post the same thoughts verbatim that I did in another review video.. the gore and kills are great if that's your thing.. the cinematography, colors and lighting were great.. the acting was fine.. Leatherface looked good.. but the writing and story wasn't great, especially in the 3rd act.. I didn't like how they wrote Sally's character.. and the way Sally survived that Leatherface attack completely took me out of the film lol.. I didn't really care for the final moment either.. overall I thought that the film was okay.. some really good stuff and some really bad stuff.. I'm ultimately indifferent.. I'll probably rewatch it in October..

I liked it but i don't understand the plot so yeah Texas chainsaw (2022) is one of those movies that you would have to watch twice to understand the story

This movie has flaws. No denying that. But I loved this film. It is a blast. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. This version of Leatherface is probably the scariest, pissed off and fucking brutal. That bus scene holy shit balls what a bloodbath. This is probably the most goriest movie iv ever seen. Lets be honest here this franchise has always been all over the place with tone nd writing and all that since day one. Love the Kills. All the hate this film gets is undeserved imo. In fact this film is everything Texas Chainsaw 3d should have been. The last two films in this franchise where dog shit and this Masterpiece is a huge major improvement and the best since the 03 remake and its prequel. I went into this film expecting to not like it but edded up loving the hell out of it. A fun gory bloodbath.

I had fun with this one, ur points on the plot I completely agree with tho. Lotta non sense. But I like some of the kills and thought the ending was cool

I'm guilty of having own Texas chainsaw massacre the next generation

Leather face's mom is his orphan mother. Not real mom. But the story don't add up. As a fan of tcm, I'd take another one and I thought this one wasn't nearly as bad as some people say it is. It was fun, gory and made people talk about it. That's typically what horror movies are about. That end scene was brutal and I'd watch the whole movie just to watch that again for the first time. It caught me by surprise and shocked me a little, it was overly realistic.. Cut like butter. After they made more TCM films after the next generation should tell ya, there will be more after this. This film was so much better than that pile of shit. Kind of like watching halloween season of the witch and asking if they will make more halloween movies. So many more. . Now I wrote a book for ya. Would like to hear what you have to say about jeepers creepers franchise along with pumpkinhead in the future.

You are right. That movie sucked balls. And I've heard other youtubers praising it. Why? In my opinion they should've stopped after the original.

This movie didn't give a flying fuck of its original content

Were they trying to make me root for the antagonist because that's exactly what they did Leather face wasn't scary when you are rooting for him

I don’t have Netflix. I looked at the trailer and it looked at least like a decent movie. LeatherFace looks weird but I don’t mind. I hope you have a good day I have to go to school

I might be in the minority but I LOVED it. I just completly disrigard its a sequel and just go with what this movie gives you. Kinda disagree on the school shooting points tho. The school shooting is the whole motivation of the sister to create a new town. Also her characters overcoming her fears kinda thing. Completly agree on Sally being useless but this is even more of a problem for me in the Scream 5 and everyone loved that one.

Bad Movie, Good Kills, Cheesy acting, Bad set design. This movie didn’t build up any tension at all. I absolutely HATED they brought back Sally. Very unnecessary. We’ve already had a continuing storyline from the 1974 events with sally, I don’t get why this was repeated again. The 2013 version was bad, but entertaining. They did nothing interesting or new in the 2022 version that felt important or positive for the film. I give this movie a 6 out of 10. It definitely felt more silly than most of the other franchise films we’ve had in the past. Not the worst film, but for me it falls around the 2nd or 3rd most unlikable film so far.👎🏻

The ending is actually genius to get a sequel because when the one girl puts the hat on that was Sally is actually hinting at her becoming the next Sally meaning she is going to hunt him down for the rest of her life and then her sister gets killed and at the end it shows him holding her head and staring at the other sister that is him saying I will see you again remember me and then we get the sequel and it goes from there

The plot of it was really slighted the stript was horrible the annoying sister on my nerves. They never explained anything as you said. The gore was good the way he killed Jacob Lattimore had to be my favorite.

The film was fine, most peoples arguments against it make no sense. So it looked good? It was decently acted? The kills were good? But oh people are mad at the story? Haha has anyone everyone seen a TCM with a story? Kids go where they shouldn't, they die. The end. It was fun and the takes on social commentary have been completely blown up. It was made by a Texan who has seen the migration to his home state by " the woke" generation. Wasn't heavy handed at all but subtle. The plot line didnt live or die upon agenda. Better than the last 5 sequels in the franchise and still better than Halloween 2018 and Halloween kills and Halloween ends. But good video!!

I thought this movie was better than the original.

I think I’ve also given up into the mediocrity of this franchise, I had fun tbh. And there’s a final scene after credits that can imply it’s over or that it can continue if the movie was a success, I liked the scene tho.

yes. the mediocrity of the franchise. 90% of the Texas sequels are awful. 90% of the jason and Michael myers sequels are awful. but compared to all the sequels this was better than most. texas chainsaw 3D barely had kills. that was boring.

I was LITERALLY SCREAMING at the "say my name" bullshit. Not an exaggeration when I say these were the stupidest characters I've EVER seen in a modern horror movie. IMO the original TCM was the only truly good one in the series and this sequel is a step backwards in nearly all ways imaginable. It has none of the atmosphere and creative visuals that made the original so good. A totally toothless bore.

This film is just a mess. There's no justified explanation for anything this movie did other than sloppiness. I was entertained though. I loved it for various reasons and hated it for others. I think we're moving towards an era of horror where we don't need trauma or deep backstories in all of our films, and that's okay. It clearly stands out as wasteful runtime when you try to force it.

I think this movie wanted to be Halloween 2018 so bad. They needed something to give the girl PTSD so they didn't just throw it on Sally and be too much of a copycat and this was the route they chose. School violence. They could have literally used any means of her being scared of guns (A robbery, home invasion, etc), but they chose a hot button topic and it did nothing at all for the plot. I didn't even think about the idea of her going into a theater. That just makes it all the more wtf-y. The Sally thing is when you get JLC off of Wish. There was no history there. For Laurie...Michael stalked her. He invaded her space. For Sally and her friends...they kinda broke into the land of crazy's house. Had they stayed out they wouldn't have been where they were. (Not saying they deserved to get hooked and all, but you know what I'm saying, LOL). The weight of the situation isn't the same and lets be real, Sally is NOT a final girl people are invested in. If they were to retcon Scream from part 1 or Nightmare from part 1...you would be invested HIGHLY in Sydney and Nancy. Even Friday pt 2...People would care about Jenny. They proved how little they cared about it by how little they fleshed it out and then just as quick as she came in...she was gone. This seemed like a cheap way for them to try to put some heart in a franchise that just doesn't seem to have one. The thing with the confederate flag...I feel like that was more to make the Tropey guy seem more tropey only to find out that was actually a good dude and people were caught up in stereotypes. Again...too heavy for TCM without the talent to back up the writing. I will say that his death was probably one that sticks out because I have an issues with bones breaking and that leg kick...OUCH. I actually found one of the most cringy scenes being that the older sister accused the younger sister of sleeping with Mr. Tropey and seemed mad at her for it when, if this girl is as young as they make her seem, had that happened, blame would have been on Mr. Tropey for taking advantage of the minor. (Was she a minor? In either case, that whole sentence and implication was unnecessary.) However, that being said, I did enjoy it for what it was and was pleased with the kills and the overall look of the movie. I appreciate the more brutal Leatherface. It definitely isn't the worst of the franchise, but like you said...the bar was low. They just had to make something semi coherent.

@@HauntedHippie Oh we absolutely deserve better. I think I was just expecting worse than this because of how bad they typically are. I need to back and revisit a few of your reviews because I finally just made it through the whole franchise and I can't remember what you said about Leatherface. (That was the only one I hadn't seen, but Tubi had it for free this weekend. I knocked that one out after the new one.

Honestly, I was with this movie and thought it was decent until that scene with Sally. She was completely irrelevant. I feel like they added her in during reshoots.

Yea the silhouette is excellent with a lot of those netflix originals but the plot is shit.

More skits!

The trend is there doing sequels do old movies from the 70s 80s they should stop and make new horror franchises
