It all depends on execution. In the horror genre the whole "sudden sequel death syndrome" thing happens a lot and is often expected. It can be annoying. At least something like Final Destination 2 had the "Final Girl" from the first film make it to almost the end of the 2nd film. For Texas Chainsaw, it was actually a REALLY present surprise that they didn't do the stupid "Sarah Connor old and awesome, Laurie Strode old and awesome" trope which is frankly repetitive at this point. They actively make you think they are going in that direction just to zig-zag away from hero worship and stay true to the horror theme by killing the character. For the horror genre, under-cutting the "returning hero" by having them end up as "just another victim" is actually really true to the genre.
They should have done a twist where the mechanic guy was the hero. Just a normal guy minding his own business, not bothering anybody and now he is stuck in this situation because of these dumb characters. So he has to survive and get out of there.
He definitely was the best character in the movie and he had a great set up to do so. But honestly, I like the grim ending knowing that nobody wins except the big, hulking man with a chainsaw 😊
He IS the tragic hero of the film. He’s the only stand up, legitimately badass character of the film. As someone in this comment section said before, only Leatherface wins in this movie.
If they leaned more into horror comedy, this movie would have worked. Leatherface looked fine, but acted more like Jason. The massacre on the party bus was pretty cool.
I wish they would keep it straight faced horror 100%. I mean theres nothing funny about the original. And im not a fan of the comedic tones of the sequels, frankly theyre a mess. At least this one delivers on the violence. I’m so sick of modern horror trying to be funny, this movie clearly wanted to satirize both generation z and alt right millennials so you have a point but they should have leaned into more realistic characters and decisions
I think it sucked because you need a final girl/boy that you can root for - someone you want to get away. Every single one of the victims in this movie was an asshole.
The school shooter victim was the closest thing we got, I like Elsie Fisher as an actor so I was rooting for them to survive once I learned they were cast, so I’m glad they made it out lmao.
I disagree, in the first one the only reason Sally is the final girl is because her friends had no common sense, Sally as a character in the first movie consists of telling off Franklin and screaming, the only reason we root for Sally in the end is because she just watched her brother get his guts rearranged by a chainsaw and that she's now isolated in the middle of nowhere,the only one of the original 4 TCM movies that has a character like what you described is The Next Generation
For me, I hated that Melody had such plot armor that protected her until the shock kill at the end. Leatherface threw a fully sized hammer at her chest, sent her through a wooden flight of stairs, and essentially down two stories to the basement. And she just rolled it off. Sally was just…infuriating to watch. Even the attempt of a meta-twist in just having her immediately be killed. Why bother? And last, it looked cheap. It looked like Universal Studios HHN
Yeah, Melody would have died or be severely incapacitated. I slipped at work one time landing on my ass and that HURT for 3 days straight. This girl’s back broke thru 2 wooden floors and she just 🏃♀️➡️ 😂 I almost confused it for a Marvel film.
I blame TCM 2 for that - although I freaking love TCM 2. TCM 2 introduced humor into the story, where in the first there was nothing remotely funny. It was dirty, scary, dark and gross. Still scares me after all these years.
@@suzybearheart530the 2003 remake got it right. A perfect film. Stands with the original as different kinds of classics. Shot by the same cinematographer btw
All of these recent TCM reboots feel like the filmmakers did not see or understand the original...at all. The approach of making Leatherface an unstoppable Jason or Michael Myers figure never really works.
Leatherface always was kinda like Jason and Myers, just without the pure cold silence or walking, like how in TCM 2 he breaks through a wall likes it’s nothing, or how he survived a grenade explosion, or in TCM 3 when he was hit by a car, and beat with a rock he gets up like nothing in the end, he also lifts a girl up with one hand, TCM 4 he shoulder rushes through a wall of wood and glass, he also punches a door off its hinged, in TCM 3D, he survived a house fire and pushed over a 5 ton van, and now in TCM 2022, there letting that stuff run wild again, he’s always been superhuman, I wouldn’t say on Jason’s level no, but maybe on the level of Myers
@@doctorfeinstone6524 Superhuman, not Myers or Jason level ofc but I’m pretty sure he’s more then a human, they just tried to make him seem human because it’s far scarier but his feats show he’s not human
I thought the Learherface performance was decent, but I just hated how the film constantly makes out like someone’s about to die only to get saved at the last second by someone else. It ruined the tension. They did it like 5 or 6 times in the second half of the film, and it got annoying
Not even freaking close this movie may be flawed but it's still fun and the gore and Leatherface elements are well done Jeepers creepers reborn did nothing right it was practically incompetent
I agree. Maybe it was my expectations going into it but I didn’t like it so much that I immediately had to rewatch the original film to remind myself that this franchise can still be good.
@@grantpowell4135 Not just that, she didn't even shoot when she had the chance, she just waited for him to come to her. I mean COME ON!! Tbf none of it would've mattered anyway since Leatherface was immune to bullet.
The directors explanation was a big turnoff for me...thinking about issues of gun violence and gentrification in a horror movie with Gen Z? To me a movie like TCM should be about survival and sacrifice, I can't imagine a moment where a character has a gun to shoot leatherface but then stops to think "wait...am I perpetuating gun violence?"
The fact that the director has any problem with any type of violence while making a Texas Chainsaw Massacre film is straight up the stupidest thing I have heard in a very long time. So the new Alien film will be woke too, great, wasn't going to waste my money on it in the first place.
It was awful, so disappointing that Fede Alvarez was involved as he’s been great in every other major involvement he’s been involved with. High hopes for the new Alien film..don’t mess this up.
the main problem is too many of the characters where you didnt care if they died, too many horrors do this trying to make the killer the next jason or freddy, when if you hate or dont care about the heroes then you dont care about the villain
@@johnwinston1499 Another man with good taste! You can't watch the Beil massacre without watching "The Beginning" first. They both are very well made, especially with R Lee Eremy in both.
It was okay. But too many 2010s buzzwords trying to be trendy dated it fast The final girls were obnoxious AF. Its hard to enjoy a slasher film when you don't like the "victims"
Movie was absolutely awful. Nonsensical in most ways and to hear they put this much thought into it but dropped the ball on execution is just mind boggling.
Bro the party bus scene was dope but pissed me off. Like 20 able bodied adults just waiting to get dusted? If you don't rush that boi. Try at least. 😂😂😂
True, they should have tried but I doubt it would work, he’s immune to things like knife attacks, chainsaw attacks, and shotgun bullets, he also has a chainsaw and superhuman strength, I don’t think it would work
All of these reboots keep missing the point entirely. The creators don't understand his character or psychology AT ALL. They keep saying how much they personally love the original film and how faithful their crap is going to be, but...did they even watch it? Why do they keep presenting him as a mindless, robotic, zombie "Jason" killing machine if they supposedly love the character so damned much? Why do they keep disregarding his role as an exploited manchild? Why do they keep overlooking his sheepishness under abusive authority? Why do they keep making him mute when the original character was clearly a thinking, speaking person, albeit on an obviously mentally deficient level? Why don't they see his basic human sympathy trying break through, but constantly being suppressed by his family? They just want a bigger, scarier, meaner masked killer with more blood and guts, which is NOT what the classic (intended to be TV-friendly) movie was about. And as long as they keep missing the point--particularly concerning Leatherface's CHARACTER--they will continue to miss the mark.
@@colin_in_sick They've rebooted Leatherface's character far too many and even keep changing his name. I don't care what anyone says his name is Bubba Sawyer.
I agree, he should have had more emotion when killing, there was times where he was not like Jason at all, he was a mindless killing machine, and he was also not a mindless killing machine, like when we see him cry in his mothers room, or when he genuinely cared for his foster mother and when she died that’s what set him off
Elsi fisher was friends with my kids. They shared a babysitter but unfortunately the babysitter Nikki Harding in hemet ca was a groomer and got wildly obsessed with our kids and had them call her mom and talk bad about us to our children while we were at work. Us parents were friends so we all got together when we realized what was happening. But it’s been cool seeing elsi start with commercials to this.
At the risk of sounding like a total pig, you go from reboots of TCM starring Jordana Brewster, Jessica biel and even though the movie sucked… Alex Daddario. One of the female leads in this movie had hair like a cafeteria lady. Slashers have at least one of the two archetypal women… a pretty heroine or at least a tough, girl next door type to root for. No one in this movie was likable.
Horror films need beautiful women in the leading roles. Yes, sure, beauty in the eye of the beholder...but the standards are the standards for a reason. It is because most people tend to agree when they see an attractive person and what features make them attractive. Nobody goes to the movies to watch a bunch of normies on screen. This whole "People need someone who looks like them or is exactly like them, and isn't too pretty or successful when compared to the average viewer" mentality is absolutely dumb.
I was really surprised by how much I liked this movie. It was fun af. After learning more of the film makers intentions it all makes more sense. That ending 🤘
This movie is so bad that it lowered my intelligence. That scene where old woman has the shotgun on the killer and just let him leave.. and the dialogue in some scenes. So stupid movie.
I think they tried, but ultimately ended up making the franchise even more of a klusterfuk 😂. Not saying that there wasn't at least an attempt, but they definitely did not stick the landing! My biggest issue with that movie is the bus scene where Leatherface just kills everybody, and society just stands there recording it 😂 🤳🏻. That's what hurts me the most-watching that stupidity!
Is it left though? They write the leftie characters as a-holes and show the gun toting right wing type as being misunderstood and actually a nice guy who sacrifices himself to save the lefties. Then the bus scene seemed very tongue in cheek to me taking the p1ss out of young leftie types. They also show that actually guns are really useful in situations like a chainsaw wielding killer running around.
Unpopular opinion; I thought this movie was great. Watching the woke, cancel culture crowd, get mowed through was hilarious. A great combination of laugh out loud horror comedy, gore and even some genuine tension and scares was awesome!
There are fans of this film? I have yet to meet a single one. Everyone I know who was looking forward to it hated it. Even not so hard-core fans I know complained about the agendas being forced in the film. A pass after its initial view but I will always come back to see the ending and the bus scene.
I just rewatched this last night. Im in the minority but i enjoy it. The slasher elements are strong, i just wish we could have gotten a chase in that sunflower field or a longer sequence with the blonde girl. It’s a short film that satisfies your blood thirst lmao
I thought there was some cool looking cinematography and a decent Leatherface...but what killed this for me was what ruins most horror movie attempts these days, is that the main characters were people i DID NOT like or want to root for. Often times, characters/victims in horror films are not fleshed out properly so it doesn't give the viewer a chance to connect or empathize with them. This movie gave a half-assed effort with the "school-shooting" angle with one girl, but the other chick and her friends were annoying self-centered narcissists.
I liked the main girl because she was more thoughtful and accepting than her idiot friends. None of them would have given mister mechanic the time of day but she talks with and spends time with him. The two might have been opposing personalities but she treats him like a person rather than a hateful strawman. And what's the first thing the sister does when she finds them together? "DID YOU FUCK THIS GUY?!?" And the main girl is just disgusted by her sister's behavior. You really get the sense that she's actually a good person, as opposed to the rest who are "good people".
I did not have much problem with the movie but there was a HUGE missed opportunity. Mechanic should have stuck around longer (maybe even survived?) They could have done more with survivor girl and his interactions, it had promise.
I own the orginal and the early 2000s remake only, this film looked terrible to me from the start. After my nephew watched it and told me how much he hated it I knew it wasn't even worth watching once. There's absolutely nothing that interests me about this one at all. Nobody I know who watched it said they liked this movie and felt the orginals were better.
The female leads were insufferable. Would it have killed them to find a more attractive cast? But then again, maybe they were just leaning into the fact that Gen Z, "doesn't care about beauty".
Thank you, I love it too. I don’t feel the need to defend it and act like it’s a good movie. But they are things about it I feel like I “get” even if the satire was totally unintended. I just love the vibe.
That weird face girl just continues to be in mid horror movies. This, the best friend exorcism was 4k melatonin. Her face is so weird that it kept me invested though.
As the majority of the comments show; very few people liked this movie. It was absolutely dreadful. Unlikable and extremely unattractive final girls, laughably cringy dialogue, obnoxiously overt social messaging. The gore was solid, but holy fuck was it horrible.
As someone with very unconventional tastes when it comes to horror movies, I have no problem with anyone liking this TCM 2022. I have gotten to the point where I watch all of the franchise horror movies no matter the rotten tomatoes score or financial success. We will find years down the road that an actor, writer or director was inspired by this particular film and went on to create something else we love.
I thoroughly enjoyed the bus massacre scene and some cinamatography, the ending also surprises me. However, being honest as a long time fan of the original, I absolutely hated this movie.
The initial poster they revealed advertising this film looked so cool I was hoping it would be treated with respect as a prestige release, trying to compare with the 2018 Halloween. But instead it just copied that film on a surface level of bringing back the original survivor girl. But Sally was no Laurie Strode. She has little history in the franchise apart from that one film and the original actress wasn't even alive to return so it was all very hollow and meaningless.
The bus scene was fantastic. I don't think the movie was great, but that scene alone made the film at least watchable for me. I just wish it had been a standalone film and not a Texas Chainsaw Massacre flick.
Yup, because bringing back a legacy character just to kill them always works out so well for films.
It was such a waste of

@@darkwoods1954 No dude, bad movie = woke movie. I am a serious film critic🤠
Imagine thinking leatherface brutally murdering everyone is “leftist”
@@jabrokneetoeknee6448LMAO
Unpopular opinion; I thought this movie was great. Watching the woke, cancel culture crowd, get mowed through was hilarious. A great combination of laugh out loud horror comedy, gore and even some genuine tension and scares was awesome!
There are fans of this film? I have yet to meet a single one. Everyone I know who was looking forward to it hated it. Even not so hard-core fans I know complained about the agendas being forced in the film. A pass after its initial view but I will always come back to see the ending and the bus scene.
I’m a fan of it. The original isn’t very good imo
Spot on. I was excited. But turned it off half way and re-watched tcm 03 and tcm 06 beginning. Screw this movie
This ending shot had me rolling 💀😂 I need a sequel just for more funny scenes like that I mean what in the world
In the universe of horror at the moment they throwing anything at the wall and see what sticks
I just rewatched this last night. Im in the minority but i enjoy it. The slasher elements are strong, i just wish we could have gotten a chase in that sunflower field or a longer sequence with the blonde girl. It’s a short film that satisfies your blood thirst lmao
I thought there was some cool looking cinematography and a decent Leatherface...but what killed this for me was what ruins most horror movie attempts these days, is that the main characters were people i DID NOT like or want to root for. Often times, characters/victims in horror films are not fleshed out properly so it doesn't give the viewer a chance to connect or empathize with them. This movie gave a half-assed effort with the "school-shooting" angle with one girl, but the other chick and her friends were annoying self-centered narcissists.
That was a selling point for me. Very early on in the movie I started rooting for Learherface.
I liked the main girl because she was more thoughtful and accepting than her idiot friends. None of them would have given mister mechanic the time of day but she talks with and spends time with him. The two might have been opposing personalities but she treats him like a person rather than a hateful strawman. And what's the first thing the sister does when she finds them together? "DID YOU FUCK THIS GUY?!?" And the main girl is just disgusted by her sister's behavior. You really get the sense that she's actually a good person, as opposed to the rest who are "good people".
Man 2022 was such a bad TCM and that’s saying something
wewatchedamovie!!! oh shit it's crazy hearing you talk so serious an calm lol
If you imagine Leatherface is Jaws in this movie, it’s absolutely hilarious
Like the shark?
@@etangbose4755 lol yes especially towards the end
Did this movie get a physical release?
I did not have much problem with the movie but there was a HUGE missed opportunity.
Mechanic should have stuck around longer (maybe even survived?)
They could have done more with survivor girl and his interactions, it had promise.
I loved parts of the movie and Mark did a amazing job playing leatherface
I own the orginal and the early 2000s remake only, this film looked terrible to me from the start. After my nephew watched it and told me how much he hated it I knew it wasn't even worth watching once. There's absolutely nothing that interests me about this one at all. Nobody I know who watched it said they liked this movie and felt the orginals were better.
Texas chainsaw the beginning 2006. Last good one
Still waiting on a Bluray / 4K release.
The female leads were insufferable. Would it have killed them to find a more attractive cast? But then again, maybe they were just leaning into the fact that Gen Z, "doesn't care about beauty".
Commenting this on a faceless account is hilarious.
It seems a little out of touch to report Netflix’s viewership/chart numbers as accurate
whys this sound like Mike from WWAM?
This was a solid installment
Thank you, I love it too. I don’t feel the need to defend it and act like it’s a good movie. But they are things about it I feel like I “get” even if the satire was totally unintended. I just love the vibe.
I liked this one, it's far more entertaining than most of the recent sequels/prequels.
That weird face girl just continues to be in mid horror movies. This, the best friend exorcism was 4k melatonin. Her face is so weird that it kept me invested though.
As the majority of the comments show; very few people liked this movie. It was absolutely dreadful. Unlikable and extremely unattractive final girls, laughably cringy dialogue, obnoxiously overt social messaging. The gore was solid, but holy fuck was it horrible.
As someone with very unconventional tastes when it comes to horror movies, I have no problem with anyone liking this TCM 2022. I have gotten to the point where I watch all of the franchise horror movies no matter the rotten tomatoes score or financial success. We will find years down the road that an actor, writer or director was inspired by this particular film and went on to create something else we love.
I thought it was okay. I liked it better than Scream 5 and 6 🤷🏼♂️
If you watch this movie as a comedy, it’s perfect.
Better than the last 3 TCM
Holy crap!!! Is this the same Mike from We Watched A Movie???? I didn't know he did videos for JoBlo!!! Awesome!!!
This movie made me appreciate Halloween Kills and Ends.
I thoroughly enjoyed the bus massacre scene and some cinamatography, the ending also surprises me.
However, being honest as a long time fan of the original, I absolutely hated this movie.
This movie was not as bad as everyone tried to make it out to be lol it’s much better than most of the sequels
I want them to release this movie on Blu-ray already
The bus scene was good.
The initial poster they revealed advertising this film looked so cool I was hoping it would be treated with respect as a prestige release, trying to compare with the 2018 Halloween. But instead it just copied that film on a surface level of bringing back the original survivor girl. But Sally was no Laurie Strode. She has little history in the franchise apart from that one film and the original actress wasn't even alive to return so it was all very hollow and meaningless.
The only I enjoyed was the bus scene . And the scene at the very end which totally caught me off guard .
Laziest, most uninspired, unimaginative, and uncreative director to ever "earn" a credit.
I just want to see Chop Top again :(
I agree this movie definitely parodies Halloween requals and it's fucking hilarious
Also sally getting taken out like an ant was great. Extremely annoying character in the original.
How ya gunna show a clip from TCM2 and say its the first?
Isnt movies your whole thing?
This or the 2013 movie? Which sequel do you prefer?
As a huge fan of TCM, I agree it’s flawed but I enjoyed it & it entertained me that’s all u can ask for a franchise that’s been up & down for 50 years
That cobweb clip is heavily inspired by Hereditary lol like really heavily
I like the movie but the Sally subplot should have been cut out!
The bus scene was fantastic. I don't think the movie was great, but that scene alone made the film at least watchable for me. I just wish it had been a standalone film and not a Texas Chainsaw Massacre flick.
