To some, a film with undeveloped themes, thin characters, and superficial gore might seem like a bad thing. To connoisseurs of the slasher genre, it’s all part of a well-balanced breakfast. Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s narrative efficiency and tight 81-minute running time make it an ideal delivery system for creative kills and memorable gore. Read full review

Sure, there’ s no real reason for this story to keep unfolding. This is all about enjoying the imagery of human beings getting chopped up. And in that regard at least, Texas Chainsaw Massacre does not disappoint. Read full review

No one can top Hooper or “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” or even match them. Garcia is smart enough not to put on airs. He just lets Leathersaw rip. Read full review

In David Blue Garcia’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre the blade is more active than ever. But while Leatherface, the homicidal head case who fashions masks from the skin of his victims, might be busier, his ability to scare has waned considerably. Read full review

It’s not clear that the movie has anything to say, new or otherwise. . . . Other than that it’s just blood and guts, and lots of it. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

The acting is bad, but the script is “Do you want fries with that?” awful, as that might be where we next encounter this hack Craig Thomas Devlin. Garcia’s direction makes “lackluster” seem aspirational. Read full review

What garbage. Seriously. What absolute, bereft, witless, unoriginal, unrewarding, soulless garbage that’s 40 years past scaring anybody. The only power this formula retains is the power to make you feel a little sad — at the ugliness, at the cynicism, and at the pathetic waste of your own mind as you watch it. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just a fun horror gore fest plus nice to watch bunch of spoilt kids getting their guts ripped out. There some political messages like gun violence and some lgbtq messages here and there, but the no gun violence main characters use guns to defeat him and its leatherface of course it doesn't work… Expand

An incredibly dumb exercise in slasher mayhem - but an undeniably gory riot with plenty of fun sequences, all topped off running at a lean 71 minutes. Switch your brain off and delve in the devilishly delicious carnage of it all.

Simply a terrible film. A compilation of all the worst elements of horror movies. Characters are poorly written and dull. None of the decision making makes sense. It almost seems as if the movie intentionally made the characters dumb. It runs for about 80 minutes but felt like a 2.5 hourSimply a terrible film.

It was the longest feeling movie I have ever seen for how short it is. This movie is going to make you upset, so only watch it to appreciate how bad it is.… Expand

One of the worst horror movies I’ve ever watched. Only gets a 2 for the gore and decent visuals. The story is complete garbage and so predictable. Don’t watch this film.

Its a slasher movie, what do you think you're going to get?
Full of clichés and stereotypes.

Digitized violence so absurd all you can do is laugh at it.
The actors are awful, they all fall into the various boxes.
The "Hot Girl" isn't hot. The mysterious, gun-toting tough guy is there, the token black guy gets it. The tom-boy is suitably androgynous. The annoying know-all is there until the end. You've got a Tesla, diesel smoke spewing Dodge Ram. Millennials and influences.
Its not remotely scary. The classic Leatherface look is far more menacing.
Spent a portion of it clipping my nails without a worry of missing anything.
Everyone dies.

Nadie ve una película de este género esperando una obra maestra del séptimo arte, pero dios, que han hecho... lo único rescatable es la fotografía...
