Texas Chainsaw Mascara

About This Movie

Texas Chainsaw Mascara (2022) dives into that familiar blend of horror and dark humor, though it doesn’t quite achieve the legacy of its predecessor. The desolate Texas landscapes create an eerie backdrop, amplifying the tension as the New Yorkers find themselves stranded. The pacing's a little uneven; parts feel drawn out, while others rush through the suspense. The performances have their ups and downs—some genuinely capture the confusion and fear, while others lean too heavily into caricature. What stands out are the practical effects, which have a grit that keeps the horror grounded. It’s intriguing to see the homage to 70s horror tropes, but it doesn't shy away from its modern sensibilities either. Definitely has its quirks and moments that stick in your mind.
