Every Texas Chainsaw Massacre Movie Ranked Worst To Best

8. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 Stretch Leatherface

When initially putting this list together, last year's Texas Chainsaw massacre was going to be ranked at the very bottom. Then, your writer remembered the fun bus-set sequence where Leatherface carved his way through a slew of pretty young things. As such, that one scene alone is enough to rank TCM 2022 above Leatherface.

In this most recent Texas Chainsaw offering, those "pretty young things" head out into Harlow, Texas as part of a plan to buy up properties and land in order to build the area up as cool and hip. Yes, a message of gentrification is at the core of this David Blue Garcia-helmed picture, but that message gets somewhat lost in a muddled mess of a movie.

Of course, one of these properties is a broken down orphanage owned by an old lady. When some of these young pricks argue that the lady doesn't actually own the property, she has a heart attack and dies... and it's revealed that the 80-year-old Leatherface actually resides at the orphanage. And thus, the franchise's main villain embarks on a bloody mission of revenge.

Even though this straight-to-Netflix Texas Chainsaw Massacre brought back original survivor Sally Hardesty, the film forever remained utterly dull. Well, bar the aforementioned bus sequence.
