Review of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) by Imthenoob — 18 Feb 2022

Within the first few minutes, We get a series of social commentary on gun control, racism, woke lefties, ignorant righties, school shootings, and so on so forth. None of which play a role in the events of the film so why they're featured so heavily early on? Your guess is as good as mine. However, This confusing aspect of the film highlights what I feel were a lot of this behind the scenes issues in this oddly short (under 90 minutes) film.

This movie is as uninspired and bare-bones as you can get with virtually no plot and no substance. The characters are generic and forgettable despite the cast's attempts to deliver something onscreen. The gore is reduced to this CG mess on par with what Texas Chainsaw 3D had to offer, It was an utter eyesore at times, and it kind of takes you out of the movie. I also absolutely hated what they did to Sally (the final girl of the original film) as she is reduced to this watered-down version of Laurie Strode from Halloween 2018.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 is just a mess of ideas in a pathetic excuse for a plot that does nothing but reminds people why they should stop bothering trying to remake/reboot it. At least the "bad" films of the franchise tried to be somewhat different. This one is too bland and too forgettable.
