Okay, let's be honest. There hasn't been a good Texas Chainsaw Massacre film since... The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Whether the studio releases a sequel, prequel, or remake, nothing seems to have the same oomph as the one that started it all. So, why should anyone care about the latest instalment?

But this sequel, simply called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is doing something very different. Set 47 years after the events in the original film, Leatherface is now an old, broken man, with nothing to live for.

When a group of teenagers venture into his territory, the chainsaw-wielding maniac decides to go on one last murder spree. At the same time, the sole survivor from the first film, Sally, is still rattled from her family being killed by Leatherface and so, returns to the cannibal's home to exact her revenge.

Because the story has parallels to the 2018 version of Halloween, it's likely it served as the direct inspiration for this film. Since that Halloween sequel revitalised the franchise, hopefully this movie can do the same for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre's legacy.
