Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) - Netflix

[Kross Rhodes]

They did a direct sequel Texas Chainsaw 3D to the original and then the prequel film Leatherface after. I didn't like either very much, although seeing Alexandra Daddario was nice.

I liked the 3-D one because I love Daddario and the girl from lost but yeah I meant the prequel I thought it had just come out and I was under the impression they were going to keep in that continuity.

Really? I loved Don't Breathe, so that gives me hope if anything. I enjoyed how the movie really did a lot of unique things, there's no character you really 'root' for. I was not a fan of the sequel much though.

I was decently into it for about 40 minutes until it went off the rails with dogs knocking people out of windows and them fighting like an action movie, and then that whole

went on which made me lose it. I wished it'd just kept it simple tbh.

To be fair, Texas been doing this longer than Halloween.

Most of their sequels ignore the previous ones.

I can’t think of a single third film in the series.

It is true they did those 00s reboots before Halloween did, and the 90s ones aren't reallllly "sequels" to 1 and 2, but none of them did the thing Halloween 2018 did where the killer is the same-as-original, aged killer with a decades-long gap. This one plans to exactly like 'ween18 (...should I call it that) and it comes off to me like an attempt at similar success. Which I guess isn't necessarily think is a bad thing.

Unless this is on Shudder and done by Blumhouse...I have zero confidence this will be good, because Netflix horror stinks.

I liked Fear Street, depends on your tastes though. I do agree most of their horror selection is not very good. There's been a few I've liked, but they are few and far between.

The most recent 3-D sequel is exactly as you describing. It was a direct sequel to the first film with the same killer 40 some odd years later.

I actually think this was the inspiration for 2018.

Got ya. 3D is a lot better than Leatherface, that's for sure. I found the latter quite forgettable, but 3D had some good moments. I agree on the cast, and it's one of the things I liked about the film.

Oh shit, you're right. Honestly I blanked on that one even existing, my bad hah.

I actually liked the tone of that trailer Obviously need to see more, but yeah I'd check this out seeing as it'll be on service I use anyways.

 

[TeaDrinkingLimey]

I’ll check this out, I guess.
I mean, it’s gotta be better than the last two films they released, right?

How have I not heard of this until today? Like literally 5 minutes ago.

I will watch it because I like the TCM movies, well except the direct sequel, but it should be fun. Too bad it is on Netflix though, I have my reservations just because of that.

Unexpected. Looking forward to it

I think it depends with Netflix really. They can come out with a movie that blows me away like Klaus, and then they can have long stretches of pretty bad releases. I hope it's good because horror is a genre that they need to work on expanding on their service, and they've been doing a better job of it lately with releases like the Fear Street trilogy. If this gets well received, I can see them doing more, and I'd be more likely to keep using it with Shudder.

Fear Street was ok. The first one was pretty good but they got worse with the other releases. Not terrible but they felt like the writers got bored halfway thru writing the movies.

Worst one I probably sat through was The Open House with the actor out of 13 Reasons Why. Possibly one of the worst movies I've ever watched, and basically nothing happened. I don't think they'll ever have a release quite as bad as that.
