The film’s social commentary - including a bit where the new kids in Harlow are offended by a prominently displayed Confederate flag - is more glancing than hard-hitting. None of these ideas stick around long enough to develop into anything meaningful. Beyond Sally’s return, the movie has Lila coping with PTSD from a mass shooting she survived, Moe Dunford playing a local redneck who reluctantly helps out Dante and his team of idealistic gentrifiers, and a busload of visiting Californians who respond to their first glimpse of Leatherface by pulling out their cell phones and live-streaming. The final version of the film, directed by Garcia, packs a lot of characters, subplots, and backstory into its 83 minutes, and very few are essential. From our review,Ī lot about this Chainsaw is under-realized and messy - perhaps because of the project’s convoluted shoot, which saw the original directors axed one week into production in Bulgaria. Produced by Evil Dead (2013) and Don’t Breathe director Fede Alvarez (who also co-wrote the story ), the new TCM is a lean 81 minutes and was filmed in Bulgaria (but don’t call it Bulgaria Chainsaw Massacre, Leatherface doesn’t like it). A group of young entrepreneurs (including Eighth Grade’s Elsie Fisher) arrive in Harlow, Texas and plan to transform it by gentrifying it, much to the consternation of Old Leatherface, who starts another murder spree. The ninth installment of the legendary slasher franchise, 2022’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre sees Leatherface return after decades of hiding.
