  1. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (2022) - Movie Review@shortshots1569d

    TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (2022)

    "After nearly 50 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." (IMDB)

    I haven't watched a Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie in a long time.

    When I saw it on my Netflix queue, I remembered how strange the 70's original (pictured above) was and the entertaining cheese of the 2013 sequel (below).

    image.png

    Unfortunately this 2022 rendition impressively managed to lack both the 70's original strangeness and 2013's semi-lovable cheese.

    The 2022 sequel's cast consists of millennial kids: a tomboy girl suffering PTSD from a school shooting, her loud-mouthed food-truck owning sister, the sister's business partner, and the business partner's generic psycho-chum fiance.

    They arrive in rural Texas in an electric car, criticizing the gas-guzzling locals, and publicly insult a fellow gas-station customer for his open-carry firearm. The reason for their arrival is an investor auction for an out-of-luck ghost town where they've supposedly bought the rights to some of the town buildings. Their wish is to turn these forgotten conservative derelicts into an oasis for millennials fleeing expensive liberal cities.

    Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 4.02.38 PM.png

    While there are some stereotypical lead-ups to some situations with the seemingly simplistic theme of "liberal people good, conservative people bad," we see a trucker explain that he carries a pistol due to feral pigs roaming the area (which of course we never see) and sheriffs who go from paranoid to friendly upon learning one of the kids has relatives that used to be from the area.

    Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 4.06.17 PM.png

    We also quickly learn why the first-introduced character dislikes guns: she's a survivor of a school shooting and has the recent scar from a gunshot wound to prove it.

    Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 4.06.29 PM.png

    People are shaped by their local spheres of personal experience -- you might like guns if you get attacked by wild pigs from time to time, or you hate guns because someone took a gun to school -- a place where children are supposed to feel safe-- and turned into the site of a bloody massacre.

    Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 4.11.42 PM.png

    While I can appreciate the juxtaposition of school-shooting against a chainsaw massacre, one scenario is danger in a familiar space while the other is danger in an unfamiliar space. 2022's Chainsaw kids rudely venture from their liberal metropolitan habitat to a remote dying conservative ghost town, with no respect or request toward locals for guidance. I also found it difficult to believe that they wouldn't stumble upon articles of the town's infamous chainsaw killings while researching potential investor-properties. The murders are the area/town's most important recent events. To carelessly travel into a strange land without any caution, or olive branch of obeisance toward the natives sounds like a recipe for trouble.

    The drama begins to darken upon their spotting of a Confederate flag on a nearby building. They go inside, assuming it's empty, and unable to remove the flag discover its current owner still inside -- an old sick woman. She reveals that she used to run an orphanage, that she lives there with the last of her kids and that he's a "special one" that only she can take care of.

    Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 4.22.38 PM.png

    If you look closely in the above photo, you can see an unusually large child hiding in the doorway. By special it is hinted that this last child, now grown man, is developmentally disabled. Growing up in a remote rural area, he probably didn't have access to the appropriate help. We are then faced with the reality that Leather Face is not just a deranged villain but a mentally disabled person as well. Not that it excuses his murderous ways but his specific case of nature and nurture are the irrefutable brick and mortar of his dark character: a lonely isolated man incapable of expressing himself, burdened by not just vast mental difference but physical enormity and strength.

    Without spoiling too much, it is the death of his caretaker the old woman that once again sets him on his path of violence. After questioning the business kids about whether they truly had a right to her house (which we learn later they did not), she suffers a heart attack and later passes on in Leather Face's arms, en route to the hospital. Her dying words are for him to stay out of her bedroom, where we later see him smash open an old wall and pull out a hidden item: his titular weapon.

    Without spoiling too much, carnage ensues and many die.

    A potential sequel is hinted at.

    The movie looked to have a decent budget but nowhere near enough focus was given to story and acting, which resulted in a rather fright-less horror flick.

    Memorable Shots

    Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 4.44.45 PM.png

    Probably the most striking shot in the whole movie, Leather Face standing in a field of dead sun flowers.

    Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 4.49.05 PM.png

    An obvious jab at millennial culture, thinking they can shame any enemy into submission.

    Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 4.49.41 PM.png

    Leather Face might as well be wearing a t-shirt that reads, "I Don't Give A Damn About My Bad Reputation!"

    Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 4.53.52 PM.png

    Love the sparks in this shot.

    Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 4.50.58 PM.png

    Probably the 2nd greatest shot in the film, especially love who clear it is when lit by lightning from a storm. That was another gripe I had with the movie, despite my great connection, most of the film was clear when it was boring and blurry when exciting stuff was happening.

    Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 4.56.23 PM.png

    Hope you enjoyed this review! I tried not to include too many excessively gory shots but had to show a little since this was a horror movie.

  2. [Review] Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) - The return of the original Leatherface [Eng-Esp] El regreso del Leatherface original@carlosmiguelfm1594d

    The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), was a Brutal, Visceral and terrifying movie, in which it wasn't just Leatherface, it was a set of factors, the family, the atmosphere, the house, all mixed in such a way that it provided unparalleled terror. preceding. It was one of the quotes that defined the Slasher genre, and they are among my favorites. There have been several sequels, Remakes and Reboots, everything has been done with this franchise; and now with a new owner of the rights, Netflix does not give this new installment with a tight budget that is not reflected in the images we see.

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre Original (1974), fue una película Brutal, Visceral y terrorífica, en la que solo no era Leatherface, era un conjunto de factores, la familia, la atmosfera, la casa, todo mezclado de tal forma que proporcionaba un terror sin precedente. Fue de las citan que definió el género Slasher, y están entre mis favoritas. Ha habido varias secuelas, Remakes y Reboots, se ha hecho de todo con esta franquicia; y ahora con un nuevo dueño de los derechos, Netflix no da esta nueva entrega con un ajustado presupuesto que no se ve reflejado en las imágenes que vemos.

    What I have to say about Texas Chainsaw Massacre

    Slasher direct sequel to the 1974 movie, for better or worse ignoring all other movies. Directed by David Blue Garcia, who has a career as a cinematographer that is evident in this film, giving us some excellent stills that will be the next wallpapers for lovers of the genre. Starring young Sarah Yarkin (Happy Death Day 2, 2019) as Melody and Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade, 2018) as Lila, who I can tell are up to the job. Also participating is Olwen Fouéré, who plays Sally Hardesty again, the sole survivor of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

    Lo que tengo para decir de Texas Chainsaw Massacre

    Slasher secuela directa de la película de 1974, para bien o para mal ignorando todas las demás películas. dirigida por David Blue Garcia, quien posee una carrera como director de fotografía que se hace evidente en esta cinta regalándonos unos excelentes fotogramas que serán los próximos fondos de escritorios de los amantes del género. Protagonizan las jóvenes Sarah Yarkin (Happy Death Day 2, 2019) como Melody y Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade, 2018) como Lila, de quienes puedo decir están a la altura del trabajo. También participa Olwen Fouéré, quien interpreta otra vez a Sally Hardesty la única sobreviviente de la Texas Chainsaw Massacre original.

    he plot focuses on some influencers who buy properties in Harlow, the original town of the story in order to start a business exploiting the history that the place has. This, as expected, gets complicated when they directly affect a loved one of our long-awaited Leatherface and makes the show begin once they make it clear to us the appearance of the original chainsaw (which impressively works without problems).

    When I start to see a movie of this type, I usually count the characters to get an idea of how many murders I am going to see. This movie at the beginning presents 4 possible future victims, what I can say is a regular average, which surprisingly breaks with the arrival of a Bus full of possible future victims. This raised my expectations of the movie immediately.

    La trama se centra en unos influencer que compran propiedades en Harlow, el pueblo original de la historia con el fin de emprender un negocio explotando la historia que posee el lugar. Esto como es de esperarse se complica cuando afectan directamente a un ser amado de nuestro ansiado Leatherface y hace que comience el espectáculo una vez que nos dejan claro la aparición de la motosierra original (que impresionantemente funciona sin problemas).

    Cuando comienzo a ver una película de este tipo suelo contar los personajes para ir teniendo una idea de cuantos asesinatos voy a ver. Esta película al principio presenta 4 posibles futuras víctimas, lo que puedo decir es un promedio regular, lo que rompe de forma sorprendente con la llegada de un Bus lleno de futuras posibles víctimas. Esto subió mis expectativas de la película inmediatamente.

    At first, the deaths seemed to me very well achieved, creating situations with the expected tension, a very convincing gore, original shots and an amazing quality of photography. Once it starts, everything happens quickly with an excellent rhythm in the 80 minutes that the film lasts. In the bus sequence, Leatherface enjoys as he has never done with a sequence only acts for lovers of the genre. The events go one after another and keeps the viewer pending at all times.

    Already by the third act, the inconsistencies and plot holes begin to bother me a little, which although they are typical of the Slashers, they do not stop shocking me, as is the unproductive return of Sally Hardesty as a Ranger who has been waiting for years to face Leatherface and she doesn't have an intelligent plan to finish it, on the contrary she is clumsy and careless, I can't help but be disappointed when comparing her with characters like Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) from Halloween or even Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) in Terminator.

    Al principio las muertes me parecieron muy bien logradas, creando situaciones con la tensión esperada, un gore muy convincente, golpes originales y una sorprendente calidad de fotografía. Una vez arranca, todo pasa rápido con un ritmo excelente en los 80 minutos que dura la película. En la secuencia del bus Leatherface disfruta como nunca lo ha hecho con una secuencia solo acta para los amantes del género. Los acontecimientos van uno tras otro y mantiene al espectador pendiente en todo momento.

    Ya para el tercer acto comienzan a incomodarme un poco las incoherencias y agujeros argumentales, que aunque son tipo de los Slashers, no dejan de chocarme, como lo es el poco productivo regreso de Sally Hardesty como una Ranger que tiene años esperando enfrentarse a Leatherface y no tiene un plan inteligente para acabarlo, por el contrario es torpe y descuidada, no puedo evitar decepcionarme al compararla con personajes como Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) de Halloween o hasta Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) en Terminator.

    The last sequence seemed crazy and far-fetched, totally incoherent, however, I was able to put the bad aside and enjoy those final minutes.

    In conclusion, Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a very violent, brutal and enjoyable Slasher for lovers of the genre, it has a weak story (like any slasher) but it is entertaining, managing to give the franchise some freshness with a very elaborate aesthetic, although it forgets completely the original with the hot Texas, it lasts a short time, so everything passes very quickly and makes it easy to consume.

    Las ultimas secuencia me parecieron disparatas y haladas de los pelos, incoherentes totalmente, no obstante, pude dejar lo malo a un lado y disfrutaba esos minutos finales.

    En conclusión, Texas Chainsaw Massacre es un Slasher muy violento, brutal y disfrutable para los amantes del género, poseer una historia floja (como cualquier slasher) pero es entretenida logrando darle algo de frescura a la franquicia con una estética muy elaborada, aunque que olvida por completo la original con la Texas calurosa, dura poco, por lo que pasa todo muy rápido y la hace fácil de consumir.
