But after an argument about her eviction with the meddling millennials, she croaks and Leatherface reverts to his old self. Her roommate is Leatherface, who has seemingly become a decent human being for the last fifty years.

This tenant is an old sickly lady (the Borg goddess herself Alice Krige) who ran an orphanage over the years. Is it that difficult to make a character who is likable and worth rooting for? Not for these filmmakers.Īs the group arrives in this creepy ghost town, their efforts to gentrify it into a hipster village go awry when one tenant is still living in one of the buildings. Every single character in this new Texas Chainsaw Massacre film is just awful where anyone who spends more than sixty seconds with them will wish for their bloody demise. The upsetting part about this film and a lot of other horror movies are how the writers make no attempt in creating characters who are worthy of surviving a horror movie. Now it seems like a small group of very young social media influencers wants to leave the big "bad" city of Austin and start a new life in the middle of nowhere rural Texas in this abandoned town with other like-minded millennials. The film cuts to the present day after a local documentary is airing a promo on television about those murders with a special cameo narrator. This is supposed to be a direct sequel after the original film, which saw the young blonde Sally escaping with Leatherface chasing her with his chainsaw. It's a bland, unoriginal, and lifeless attempt to do something creative and its end result is less than thrilling or fun.
#THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE CINEMATIC UNIVERSE MOVIE#
It seems like both Garcia and Devlin both watched the 2018 Halloween sequel from Blumhouse and took that same exact plotline and put it into Texas Chainsaw Massacre, where some decades later, the main movie monster, in this case, it's Leatherface, comes out of hiding, kills new people, and comes face to face with the one who got away. This new film was based on a story from Fede Alvarez (Of the Evil Dead remake and Don't Breathe fame), but later written by Chris Thomas Devlin and directed by David Blue Garcia, both of whom aim to make their stamp with this latest franchise entry.
