Cicero 5,267 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Average sums it up. Fun watch though albeit predictable at the end. Assuming more films are in the works? Seems after the success of Halloween (2018) this is becoming a bit of a cash cow genre, with Scream and now TCM following suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I decided to watch it again. I think if you just except this is just a dumb sequel it is more enjoyable. Sometimes it's fun just to sit down and watch a dumb shit film.

Lucas 3,827 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Absolute tripe. And that's putting it kindly, which seems to sadly be the going rate for Netflix original films from what I've seen. I'm really confused these days as to whether this genre of films (slashy horror) are meant to go down the scare route or the comic one because in the end, this doesn't achieve either.

Cicero 5,267 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Ending was the most predictable thing ever. I told my wife what would happen after they seemingly killed him, and I was 99% right. Also, isn’t leatherface supposed to be Phil's bald head? Since when is he calculated and cunning ala Michael Myers? Wow. That edit literally made me spit out my tea.

Surprised people are watching it to be honest... or at least anyone that is familiar with the other efforts previously, I totally skipped watching this one, just another rehash of silliness... Also your comment about the quality of the films on offer, they seem to be going downhill in my opinion and just churning out one bit of uninteresting crap after another... everything seems to be in a rush with little to no thought about content...

Cicero 5,267 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 It was directed well. Visually very good too, but that couldn’t save the ridiculous writing. Balances out to average in my books. Being kind here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more. These Netflix films put too much emphasis on whose starring as opposed to actual plot (bar Texas Chainsaw Massacre that had zero stars) Or as we like to say more eloquantly, all fart, no poo.

I mean i suppose its possible he could have been a teenager in the original (I know he wasn't but I mean as an argument to make it make sence.) But even then he would be in his 60s at least. Also he seemed to have super human strength. Not even sure If the worlds strongest man could break a hand like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,267 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I can accept the re-tard strength, but Leatherface is supposed to be mentally challenged. He was acting like he was Jason Bourne. Poor, poor writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really confused these days as to whether this genre of films (slashy horror) are meant to go down the scare route or the comic one because in the end, this doesn't achieve either. Agree pretty much with all. Average is being generous I think. Watched it with the missus and explained how the older classic horrors are so much more authentic and raw and the horror these days aren't a patch on it. @Lucas definitely agree with your last bit. Maybe it's because there are so many out there so we're more aware of what goes on, therefore desensitised to the real jumpy horror nature we love. But then again, Scary Movie would be proud of this latest TCM. I was disappointed in it really. To be honest, I wouldn't even call it a fun watch. There was almost far too much predictability around it. Leatherface jumping out the water, pretty much every way each person got killed. The only thing not predictable in some way is how Hardesty stayed alive despite have her guts and insides obliterated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I think certain genres have times when they are at their best. I would imagine this is a good time for superheroes films for example. However I dont think this is the best time for horror films. I dont think its the worst I think the pre 1970 stuff wasn't that good. However I think the 70s and 80s were probably the best times. There were still plenty of bad horror films then and there are still good ones now but in general I think the best horrors are from that period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 @Stan I thought it was a fun watch the second time in saw it. First time I took it to seriously second time I just thought this is a shit film and dont take the ridiculous plot holes seriously To be honest horror films in general dont tend to make much sense. I mean if there is a killer around and you live in america grab load if guns and stay together.

Guest Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 @Cicero I bought the texas chainsaw massacre 2003 today. I liked it at the time so will see what I think now. It didn't receive great reviews from fans or critics I dont think but like I said in the other thread media is largely subjective so who cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 @Cicero after watching it I do definitely agree the 2003 film is the best film since the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
