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.
Against considerable odds, a very, very low bar has been met and then shuffled over with this mostly effective and incredibly nasty update, a jolting little slasher that should repulse and satisfy those with a suitably depraved idea of what they are clicking into.

First of all i just wanna say that i was one of the people who watch the whole Texas Chainsaw franchise, from the original 1974 masterpiece, the fun 1986 sequel, the great 1990 third movie, the horrible and awful Next Generation, an ok 2003 remake, the good In The Beginning prequel, the pretty good Texas Chainsaw 3D, and so do the terrible and a disrespectful 2017 origin movie Leatherface, all of that i watch in 2 weeks besides the original just to prepared for this one, and all i can say is that this movie is simply pay off, also i'm pretty sure if you watch the whole franchise most likely you will like or at least enjoy David Blue Garcia Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and for those who only watch the original most likely will not like this movie, and for me this movie is not only good, it's really really good, i found David Blue Garcia Texas Chainsaw Massacre as the true real solid sequel for the original movie, is it better than the original or is as good as the original or still less bet ter than the original?, after i watch this movie i can really see the original 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre and David Blue Garcia Texas Chainsaw Massacre combine became one as a 3 hour movie, add with just one black screen titled 50 years later after the ending of the original then straight forward to the beginning of this movie, David Blue Garcia Texas Chainsaw Massacre is also the most violence out of all in the franchise, the goryness are all solid, disturbing, and graphic, the performances are all incredible, and one thing that really stuck with me is how they used Sally Hardesty in here, what they did to her character is exactly the same with Jamie Lee Curtis in the 2018 Halloween reboot, the differences is that i was way more excited for Sally to just like "it's been 50 years and i come back for revenge" than Jamie Lee Curtis in the Halloween reboot, i was excited and i was into it, overall David Blue Garcia Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a perfect real sequel and this is all i want from the day i start watching the whole franchise because everytime i watch all the sequel and prequel it's always like "it's still not near good as the original" even though i did think some of them was really good, so it pay off perfectly, this movie is extremely gory fills with a great story, it's exciting, it just great, it's one of the best films of the year and i did still gonna put the original on number one in my Texas Chainsaw franchise rank and this one being the second just because i feel this was the real continuation for the original and i probably still gonna see this and the original as a one movie just separated by years and that's how much i like this one.

A lot about this Chainsaw is under-realized and messy — perhaps because of the project’s convoluted shoot, which saw the original directors axed one week into production in Bulgaria. The final version of the film, directed by Garcia, packs a lot of characters, subplots, and backstory into its 83 minutes, and very few are essential.
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.
It would be generous to call the film a continuation of the “Chainsaw” saga. It’s more like a blood-soaked but unscary footnote.
It’s a startling misfire, a movie that fundamentally fails at almost everything it’s trying to do. Leatherface deserves better.
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.
fun bloody violent slasher movie... give me more... of course a no brainer but it gives you what u want... a good slasher

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.

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.

Clearly trying to follow in the footsteps of "re-quel" films like Halloween (2018) and Scream (2022). Texas Chainsaw doesn't offer anything new in terms of substance that separates it from the other reboot/sequel attempts to breathe life into this franchise. It offers more gore than scares and the script does the film no justice
