Netflix massacres Texas Chainsaw with a lousy legacy sequel

Netflix's 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' is a reboot, a sequel and terrible. David Blue Garcia's film has none of the creativity of Tobe Hooper's original.

Despite a couple good scares and a link to the 1974 original, Leatherface’s new killing spree seldom strays from the slasher formula.

Netflix’s new “direct sequel” to the 1974 masterpiece an embarrassingly transparent attempt to recreate the success of the 2018 “Halloween.”

The new film turns out to be absolute, bereft, witless, unoriginal, unrewarding, soulless garbage that’s 40 years past scaring anybody.

When I think of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, gentrification, social media, and capitalism are not the words that come to mind.

Elsie Fisher and Sarah Yarkin star in the legacy sequel to Tobe Hooper's horror classic, streaming on Netflix. Read the Empire review.

Leatherface is back, and he's still pissed, in this sequel to the original 1974 film.

Netflix delivers a serviceable sequel to the horror classic, which sees a group of gentrifiers waking the sleeping slasher.

This follow-up to the 1972 original isn't in any way deep, but it's got all the splatter any slasher fan could want

In the bluntly garish ninth entry of the splatter series, Leatherface is just a gruesome action figure.
