Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a 2022 American slasher film and the ninth installment in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. It is a direct sequel to the 1974 film, and like Texas Chainsaw 3D before it, it ignores all previous sequels and reboots.The film was directed by David Blue Garcia with a script by Chris Thomas Devlin, from a story by Fede �lvarez and Rodo Sayagues. It was released directly to Netflix after a notoriously Troubled Production.Nearly 50 years after the events of the original film, a group of young entrepreneurial influencers purchases the small Texas Ghost Town of Harlow with plans to redevelop it into a trendy, gentrified escape for people like them. Upon arrival, they discover that the town isn't entirely abandoned, as one of the inhabitants is an old woman who refuses to leave.However, the woman proves not nearly as much of a threat to the group's plans as her son, a hulking, silent brute better known to the world as the monstrous Leatherface. It isn't long before a catastrophic series of events sets the killer after the group, equipped with a new mask and his trusty saw...Previews: Trailer

 Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) / int_19a5d773
comment
They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: While he's The Faceless, it's implied without his human face mask, Leatherface appears to be an ordinary lumbering old man with messy and greasy long hair and a beard as everyone in the film prior to his new mask reacts normally when he makes his appearance. This is an interesting first for the franchise, which always implied that Leatherface was deformed in some way (or disfigured, as occurs in Leatherface).

comment
Social Media Before Reason: As Leatherface appears within a bus full of people, they make absolutely no effort to escape, instead standing there like statues and holding up their phones to photograph and record him. As much as the moment is designed as a satirical jab at millennial/gen-Z influencers (especially with one of them threatening to have Leatherface "cancelled"), it's also somewhat justified, since he’s blocking the main exit and recording him will leave behind more evidence in case he tries to attack them.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: An elderly Leatherface can be briefly seen sitting in the dark when Dante goes to remove the Confederate flag from Ginny's orphanage. The fact that the shot is a mere two seconds long and that the camera doesn't even focus on him means you're very likely to miss him on your first watch.

Idiot Ball: At one point, Sally ends up having Leatherface at the mercy of her shotgun in the orphanage — dead to rights, and exactly where she wants him. You'd expect her to capitalize on the opportunity to pull the trigger and avenge the murders of her friends, especially considering it's a moment she's been waiting upwards of five decades for. Instead, she becomes adamant on ordering Leatherface to acknowledge who she is and what he did to her, knowing him to be essentially mute. As a result, she lets Leatherface walk away and terrorize Lila and Melody, and in the process of pursuing him afterwards gets herself brutally killed.

Adaptational Badass: In the other Chainsaw timelines, Sally is either dead (TCMIII), institutionalized (TCMII, Next Generation) or just trying to live her life normally following her ordeal (TC3D). This one sees her finally facing down Leatherface to get revenge for her friends' deaths. Leatherface himself is not a servant or attack dog of anyone else, and is instead a Dragon Ascendant going on a killing spree. This also applies to his physical strength, which is now on the level of assassins like Michael or Jason.

Developing Doomed Characters
 Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) / int_7f390ebc
comment
Developing Doomed Characters: Given the film's short runtime, this is largely averted. The character we are given the most background on is Lila; the others are established very quickly, but all attempts at development are dropped as soon as the action starts. Interestingly, this actually brings it further in line with the original film, which did a very similar thing with its characters as well. Possibly the most glaring example of this as an aversion is Ruth; she's introduced as Dante's fiancee, and that's all the audience knows about her before she's killed off by Leatherface.

Compensating for Something: Melody's first impression of Richter is the fact that he open-carries a pistol; she snarks to Lila that he may be doing this, even quoting the trope phrase verbatim. When he overhears her comments, he approaches her and explains his reasoning (protecting himself from feral hogs), and sarcastically apologizes if his "big gun" makes her uncomfortable. She replies, "I've seen bigger."

What Happened to the Mouse?: Whilst the likes of Drayton Sawyer and Grandpa likely died at some point in the five decades following the original movie, it is never explained what became of them. Even Sally treats Leatherface like he was the main threat from the first film, as if she's completely forgotten the others.

Asshole Victim: Downplayed; while not completely lacking any redeeming qualities, it's made very clear that we are not intended to sympathize with a vast majority of Leatherface's victims, with the exception of Sally Hardesty and Richter.

Revenge: Sally Hardesty from the original film returns, having spent the nearly fifty years since becoming a Texas ranger in order to find, and take revenge, on Leatherface. Leatherface himself is seeking revenge on the influencers he holds responsible for his mother's death. He kills them and those who help them, but seems uninterested in hurting anyone else.

 Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) / int_9bcd82c0
comment
Took a Level in Badass: Sally Hardesty. After the traumatizing events of the original, she decided to become a Texas Ranger, and spent the next 49 years trying to track Leatherface down. Many have made the obvious comparison to Halloween (2018) and its revival of Laurie Strode, another famous Final Girl who became a total badass in a revival sequel. Leatherface himself. Many forget that he was simply a big guy with a chainsaw in the first movie. In this one, he's superhumanly strong and tough, capable of shrugging off a direct shotgun blast and holding up somebody with a revved up chainsaw one-handed.

Made of Iron: Aside from Leatherface shrugging off any attacks, Sally is a downplayed example; while she eventually dies from being impaled with his chainsaw, she actually survives a few minutes, long enough to save Lila and encourage her to face him rather than running.

Retcon: In the first movie, Leatherface was the muscle to a whole family of murderous, cannibal rednecks. In this movie, billed as a direct sequel, Leatherface is living with his never-before-seen, totally normal mother in an orphanage, and the rest of the family is never mentioned. Sally even acts like her friends' deaths were due to Leatherface alone.

Too Dumb to Live: Instead of running from the guy holding a chainsaw and wearing the face of another human as a mask, the people on the bus whip out their phones, and one guy threatens to have Leatherface "cancelled" if he tries anything. Unsurprisingly, Leatherface isn't intimidated and just revs the saw.

I Will Only Slow You Down: Subverted. When Melody attempts to drive Sally's car at Leatherface with Lila in it, he throws his chainsaw at the windshield, and she ends up crashing the car into a nearby building. She is trapped by a loose rod impaling her leg in the process, and she instructs Lila to run and save herself despite her pleas. When Leatherface appears, Melody accepts her imminent death and apologizes for what her and her friends put his mother through...and Lila reappears with a gun and attempts to shoot Leatherface, only to find that the gun is empty.

Innocently Insensitive: Despite the Confederate flag hanging above the orphanage, the old lady running the place makes it clear that she has no issues with black people after she becomes concerned that it may have offended Dante, a black man. However, in doing so, she uses the word "negro" to his face. While this would have been a generally acceptable term during her youth, it's obvious she doesn't know that it's now considered offensive, and she is quite confused when he angrily storms off.
