Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)

If you are anything like I am, you absolutely love watching movies.

No matter the type, if it has a great plotline and can grab ahold of your attention... movies are the things that can bring those together. All you need is some buttery popcorn, maybe a box of a candy, and a drink and the night has been made. I don't know about you, but whether it's at the movie theater or at home on my couch, I will always be in the mood for a movie. Especially late at night.

The one movie genre I have been obsessing over watching late at night has always been the occasional horror movie. Weird, I know. How could I handle watching horror movies late at night; especially the types I obsess over (aka gore). The funny thing is that I didn't used to be like horror movies as much as I do now. Of course, I liked them. Kind of. My mom had me watch Child's Play with me when I was eight which made me lose some trust in my doll collection but did bring me a little bit of joy towards the genre in general. The obsession began when I was thirteen; my best friend at the time forced me to watch The Ring with her, despite me being afraid, and I was hooked. (P.S. I do not recommend forcing people to watch horror movies when they don't want to. It's not really the greatest way to introduce someone to this genre... I just managed to get lucky.)

But this article isn't about me. This is about the movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022), which you can watch for yourself on Netflix. I do recommend it. Although the film did get quite a few negative reviews from critics in the past, this will certainly be a positive one. Although not being the best movie I've seen from the genre, it did have me on the edge of my seat with a few modernized jokes that made myself, as a gen z-er, both laugh and cringe.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) is a slasher directed by David Blue Garcia and is the ninth installment of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise. This installment of the franchise was set a few decades after the original film, focusing on a group of young adults being targeted by the killer Leatherface. While he targets this group of young adults, Leatherface also has an encounter with another survivor of a previous killing spree, who is vengeful for the deaths of the friends he had killed.

Although it's been a while since I've actually seen the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, I had decided to give this film a chance while scrolling endlessly on Netflix for a movie to watch and boy... did it not disappoint. Yes. The film can get a bit cheesy and all, but all in all, it did have a way to keep me pressed to the edge of my seat. I just had to know more.

Are they going to survive?

Will they be able to escape?

Is Leatherface actually going to be killed?

I won't answer those questions here. You'll have to go watch the movie yourself if you wanted to know the answers.

I give this movie 4 stars out of 5 for the ability to be able to keep me on the edge of my seat.

But I have to give this movie 5 stars out of 5 for making sure that there was a lot of gore and great kill scenes throughout the film.

Hopefully I enticed you enough to actually want to go watch this film.
