This is the only entry in the Texas Chainsaw franchise that I have seen, so there is probably a lot here I’m missing. Meaning: there are probably a bunch of things that fans of the series cringed at that I was unfazed by simply due to ignorance. If your looking for a review from a Texas Chainsaw fan then look elsewhere.
The movie starts off with a very cliché first half. I may have not seen the other Texas Chainsaw movies but I know the tropes of the genre when I see them. A teen girl and her friends go to a creepy old house in the middle of nowhere and are killed by some unknown evil (in this case some kind of chainsaw massacre guy,) they are promptly picked off one by one and at some point two of them have sex.

Being an avid horror genre fan, I have pretty much seen em' all... That includes each and every one that carries The Texas Chainsaw Massacre moniker.

The scariest moments of this film are in the opening credits montage, which revisits some of the more unsettling moments from the 1974 original in 3-D. I'll make no secret that I am no fan of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise. I don't dislike horror films (I think the Shining is one of the best films ever made,) but I don't think TCM has much to offer, beyond plumbing the depths of human depravity. The first film, though thoroughly unlikable, at least was consistently scary, and the zero budget level of production value added to the documentary-like feel of the film. Beyond that first film (which is a well-made piece of horror,) the rest of the franchise is a collection of ludicrous and increasingly gory horror cliches. This latest entry to the series is especially …
