Review of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) by Hellholehorror — 24 Feb 2022

This is the third sequel to the original and most similar to the first sequel but not as crazy so I prefer the original sequel but this is still entertaining. It is more like a slasher film than the original which is good.

The pace is fantastic, there is not a boring moment. I would not necessarily agree with all the directorial decisions - most notably the massacre itself. Whilst I appreciate the massacre it felt rushed and not as violent or intense as it should have been, quite probably because the only joke in the film comes in this scene with the generation Z group vlogging the massacre.

I also still find it strange that the best chainsaw violence comes in Dawn of the Dead (2004) and deleted scenes in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986). Other than that poor decision I would say that it is really well directed.

Great production values, great first half, entertaining slasher, some inconsistent decisions in the latter half.
