TexasChainsawMassacre review: Leatherface runs rampant again when strangers come to town in director David Blue Garcia’s sequel, which doesn't summon the fear of the original.

” doesn’t give the scream queen, played here by Olwen Fouéré, the triumphant return she deserves.

It isn’t just Sally who gets short shrift: Director David Blue Garcia’s “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” feints at social commentary on school shootings, gentrification and racism. However, the approach is just as subtle as Leatherface bashing someone’s head with a mallet — and not nearly as effective.Horror filmmakers, icons and experts name the most underappreciated horror films of all time.

The enduring country-versus-city theme of the original remains, but this time, it’s not hippies who venture into rural territory with deadly results. Austin-based influencers and their friends see opportunity in a Texas ghost town, but their arrival displaces a longtime resident and the hulking, disturbed man in her care.An inventive first kill sets a standard that the movie can’t match in the dozens of fatalities that follow.
