Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre Reviews: Should You Watch the Brutal Crime Thriller Reboot?

The great thing about beautiful cinema is it never truly dies, and as ironic as
may it sound, Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of those classics that stays fresh
even today. Netflix is here with yet another installment in the franchise, but
is it worth it? The reviews of the movie are out now, and so far we hope this
movie makes it to our binge list. But does is it have what it takes to make it
happen? With no further ado, let us dive right into the Texas Chainsaw Massacre
review and find out.


TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE REVIEW

The Netflix Original [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/] is the
ninth movie in the franchise, and it is also the direct sequel to the original
movie, released back in 1974. The movie follows Sally Hardesty, the lone
survivor from Leatherface’s killing spree. A lot was expected from this reboot.
However, it has disappointed people as of now.

Here are a few reviews from prominent publications that may help you decide if
you should watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/texas-chainsaw-massacre/].

IGN [https://www.ign.com/articles/texas-chainsaw-massacre-review-2022-netflix] –
5/10

“Texas Chainsaw Massacre fails to redefine Leatherface’s legacy any better than
the sequels and remakes it leaves in the rearview. Those who only value slashers
based on their body count and murderous creativity might give this pure guts, no
glory slasher a pass.”

THE GUARDIAN
[https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/feb/18/texas-chainsaw-massacre-review-its-leatherface-vs-gentrifiers-in-nasty-sequel] –
3/5

“In a breathlessly brutal 83-minute runtime, there’s little time for thinking,
probably for the best, given the thinness of the material and some of the
mistakes made within it, but first-time director David Blue Garcia finds ample
time for suspense, making the most of his unique location and milking just about
enough seat-edge frights from the reheated ingredients.”

DEADLINE
[https://deadline.com/2022/02/texas-chainsaw-massacre-review-not-even-a-chainsaw-1234956439/]

“Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 is another casualty of turning an already
established story into a nostalgia cash cow. The real horror here is the
modernizing of the content by merging social media, social issues, and Twitter
buzz words in a careless fashion that makes it hard to latch onto anything
substantial.”

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/netflix-texas-chainsaw-massacre-1235095495/]

“Texas Chainsaw Massacre doesn’t exactly offer anything new (2013’s Texas
Chainsaw 3D, a previous attempt at a sequel to the original, at least featured
more than one dimension), but gorehound fans who rejoice at watching people’s
innards fall out of their bodies will find much to appreciate.”


FAN REACTIONS TO THE NETFLIX ORIGINAL

Despite the lukewarm critic review, audience found the movie to be a fitting
sequel and even nail-biting. Moreover, some even asked for a sequel to the
movie. Here’s the Twitter Verdict on the movie.

However, some fans agreed with the critics and found the sequel to be a “requel”
and mostly underwhelming.

It doesn’t get more mixed than this. Should you watch the film? Well, that
depends on whether or not you like slasher movies. Moreover, you should also
consider your investment in the series while making the choice. Lastly, ask
yourself if you can handle all the gore. Don’t say we didn’t warn ya!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is now streaming
[https://www.netflix.com/title/81483977] on Netflix. Therefore, stream the movie
(if you’d like to) and comment down below which your favorite character is in
the franchise.
