Netflix has premiered the official trailer for their new “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” film arriving on the platform on February 18th. Elsie Fisher stars in the film which is a direct sequel to the original but takes place many years later and ignores all the other sequels and reboots of the franchise. After nearly fifty years of hiding, Leatherface returns to terrorize a group of idealistic young friends who accidentally disrupt his carefully shielded world in a remote Texas town. David Blue Garcia directs while Fede Alvarez (“Evil Dead” remake) and Rodo Sayagues (“Don’t Breathe 2”) produce. Sarah Yarkin, Mark Burnham, Jacob Latimore, Moe Dunford, Olwen Fouéré, Alice Krige, Jessica Allain and Nell Hudson co-star while John Larroquette is returning as the narrator as he did on the 1974 and 2003 films. https://www.darkhorizons.com/trailer-netflixs-texas-chainsaw-massacre/ Looks like they are going for the Halloween 2018 reroute by ignoring all the other sequels.....for me this trailer doesn't insipire confidence....
Never saw the new halloween movies, did see the TCM version with the girl from fast and the furious. It was ok but forgettable. This the netflix version, I'm going in with very low expectations. Although that bus scene part in the end of the trailer cracked me up. A little comedy won't hurt it too much. I think the TCM sequel from the 80s had a little comedy in it if I remember.
The original is still one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen. I still have dreams about houses filled with human bones. The plot here seems like a straight ripoff of the new Halloween movies, but whatever, it's Horror, that's how they do. I'll watch.
So I'm 12 or so, sleeping at my grandparent's house out in the country. My bed was next to a window. I'd lay there trying to go to sleep while staring out the window (bright moon nights were the worst, because everything looks like something, pitch black was best, yet still freaky) and imagining that Jason and/or Leatherface were out there in the oak trees, just waiting.
this new one looks terrible based off the trailer Are they ripping off Halloween 2018 with the Laurie Stroud waiting years to confront the psycho killer plot point? Michael Myers was at least at the insane asylum all those years. It looks like Leatherface was at the crib chillin, so what was this chick waiting for? Then kids wanting to go stay in that isolated, dusty, trash town? Yeah, ok… the bus scene with everybody pulling out their phone and saying he’ll get cancelled as he revs up his chainsaw…what a forced and lame ass scene if this movie doesn’t end up being straight to DVD, Walmart $5 bin quality, I’ll be genuinely surprised Was anybody asking for another Texas Chainsaw Massacre Installment?
You pointed out all the issues I had with the trailer. Plot looks lifted straight from the Halloween revivial and some of dialogue was just bad. I'm a big fan of the original and was looking forward to this since they were supposed to ignore all the sequels but this trailer doesn't inspire a ton of faith.....
I can see why it’s not getting a theatrical release…looks like there was little to no creativity or originality with this film this looks like it could be slumming it with the 2013 Texas Chainsaw that was featuring the likes of Trey Songz…that was 1 of the worst movies I’d seen
Oh god, I totally forgot about that one....yeah this might be slumming it with that dreck. I could be wrong when it comes out but I'd be really surprised....
I saw this last night…decided to give it a chance my expectations were Rockets win percentage low I’ve gotta say, the dumb sh*t they have all the victims doing in movies like this has long been past the point of being an annoying trope I’m sorry, but if a dude came up to me with his mouth sliced off, there ain’t no investigating or confronting the psycho. MFer, I’m out bootleg Laurie Stroud pissed me off too…I hate when they have a chance to kill the bad guy, and they just don’t, or they shoot him in the shoulder or hesitate for 20 seconds doing dialogue and miss…smh, head shots, and make sure u double tap not even sure why she was in the movie, she lasted like 3 minutes…grand opening, grand closing for her dumbass they had a chance to escape too, but instead of high tailing it out of there, they try to run him over, of course fail, and then crash…I just can’t with the stupidity…they want to die part of what can make a horror movie good is being able to put yourself in that scenario, but I just could not buy a bunch of people going to this small dusty town in the middle of nowhere that doesn’t have anything going for it overall, 5/10 because some of the kills did make me go “oh sh*t!”…the bus scene was a massacre
I skimmed through some parts. Yeah acting was not good but then again it’s a horror movie so I’m not looking for academy award acting. The kills didn’t do nothing for me. Boring to say the least.
Bout the same for me. Watched TCM when I was like 10 (had been out for a while), at my uncle's place in the woods. Had to walk what seemed like miles (about 150 feet) back to my dad's truck at midnight afterwards. Was scary.
another thing about this movie Does Leatherface have bullet resistant skin or something? this man was absorbing bullets like he’s Majin Buu and spitting them out like sunflower seeds he must’ve gotten shot at least 6 times yet and the ending… 1st off, why were they not trying to leave until morning? If it were me, the minute Leatherface looks like he’s down, I’m doing a 40 yard dash to the car and peeling off
I watched it then saw the 2003 Jessica Biel one was on Netflix so I watched that too. I should have stopped at this point. I couldn’t get through the 2006 prequel.
