Texas Chainsaw Massacre review
reaction
#Netflix #horror
So much laughing, so much yelling, the best I could have hoped for in the most confusing way
Ok, before I watch... just a comment that you should really do a 500k subscriber special! On to the video now!
No joke, it was watching this video that I realized I completely thought Tobe Hooper and Tom Hooper were the same person. I was understandably impressed by Hooper's change in genre, and it brought a whole new understanding to Cats...
You're truly hilarious
Such a GREAT reaction here @26:50 from Amanda! “I love it!”
@@TalentCaldwell sounded like she was singing lol
damn. the feral hogs joke got the loudest unearned snort from me.
Woah hey One topic, love ur video :)
that HAS to be the reference though right!? The minute he said that I was like "ah, so memelords wrote this" and took that energy with me through the entire film watching experience.
@The_Bard_In_Bows Maybe.
Probably would of stood up better if he had a AR-15 pistol on his hip instead.
Only problem is anyone using that to defend a simple handgun has never seen a feral hog. Hand gun ain’t gonna do it.
@@danynes4710 Yeah, I had to assume it wouldn't of worked for shit.
It feels like they just want to turn every killer into Jason. Every killer should have their "thing". Jason is a tank who just walks through anything you throw at him. Freddy is an ambush hunter who finds you at your most vulnerable. Pinhead is an eldritch demon you have to bring deliberately. Michael is a stalking predator who will go after you just because you're in his path. Leatherface is a tragically malformed, mentally stunted human driven to be a killer by his family.
When you make them all supernatural tanks, it puts them all in the same niche.
I'm glad someone else noticed this. The filmmakers have no idea what made the originals iconic and it makes these new movies so interchangeable and pointless.
Those are absolutely excellent points to think about.
Well, those are the really popular ones. There are loads of supernatural-ish slashers in 'human' form. Those guys(franchises) are like, over 40 years old now. My favourites are that thing from Jeepers Creepers, Chucky, Candyman and those dolls from Puppet Master.
THIS. You said everything I feel. My distaste for Halloween Kills comes from this. I didn't want to see a Jason movie, I wanted to see a Halloween movie, but well, I guess Michael Myers is the literal incarnation of evil now (I see how you went away from the supernatural aspects of the sequels that you ignored producers, as you said you would).
Edit: a word
That is so true. In the original movie, Leatherface doesn't WANT to kill all those kids who keep showing up at his house, he does it out of survival to protect the privacy of his (abusive) family who resorted to cannibalism after they lost their jobs at a meat-packing plant. The scene where he's sitting by the window facepalming 'cuz he knows he's gonna get in trouble for letting strangers trespass says it all.
My grandmother was figuratively dying throughout this movie, she said something interesting which was why do these women from the original movies always come back Kill Bill Style as if they wouldn’t be traumatised to see Leatherface again let alone kill him
Because feminine revenge against the men who traumatized them is Fucking Righteous
That could of at least be a nice addition onto Sally, a woman who became a Texas Ranger and could probably get guns that could rip Leatherface and his home apart but is scared to go back due to his threatening appearance, even if she was looking at him through a sniper scope.
It honestly makes ZERO sense in the new Halloween movies. Laurie Strode spent 40 years staying in the same town she was traumatized in just on the hope that one day Meyers might break free so she could Home Alone him.
And not just her but EVERYBODY who ever grew up in Haddonfield still lives there 40 years later. 40 years after a single night of random violence that left 5 people dead and the perpetrator caught and incarcerated for 4 decades.
The ENTIRE town, but Laurie especially, still feel tormented somehow by a mute locked away in a prison the past 40 years?! It was one night, yet they all behave as if they’ve lived through all of the sequels that no longer count.
@@WinterFogFilms is it righteous when they get killed in the most anti-climatic way possible.... oof
@@kitnal4143 oh idk I haven't seen this particular movie, it looked bad lol
It's amazing that Leatherface is literally in his mind 70's based on Gunner Hanson being 26 in the original movie. These senior citizens could beat the greatest athletes without taking a breath
He and Michael Myers are old men causing havoc lmao. I see people on tumblr call him PeePaw Myers 😂
@@hierophantpurple5163 lol forget him and Michael, Jason Vorhees was both old and DEAD and was still up prancing about causing shenanigans
@@jazzycat8917 💯😩🤣🤣
He could play liner backer for an nfl football team
On top of dropping a chainsaw on his leg.
The "killer comes back in the end" twist was so predictable and yet it was still somehow shocking just because it was absolutely bonkers. The one girl screaming bloody murder as the car sloooowly drives away lol
Leatherface straight up Shamu'ing his ass out of the water at the end was fucking hilarious.
I was in tears laughing at that moment. It helped that melody was insufferable.
it was shocking to me only because of how explicit they were making it that Leatherface was not only dead but straight up overkilled. Shot with buckshot to the center mass four times, chainsawed to the face, and lungs absolutely completely filled with water.
The shock was in how that shows the movie hated its audience just as much as it hated its characters, because that was definitely shot specifically to piss me off. Like, I know the trope, the killer is supposed to get one last kill in and be around for the sequels. But this was especially dumb. It's cool when Jason does it, but Leatherface is just Some Guy.
They subverted expectations by not making him grab one of them by the ankle while they casually stood next to that random ass crater he fell into for like 20 minutes instead of booking it.
oddly enough if they had their seatbelts on she would have been fine
This movie has the most unrealistic thing I’ve seen in a horror movie in a bunch of millennials or Gen Zers buying up a ghost town
You mean to tell me they found affordable housing? In this economy?
@@justheretocommentokdontwan685 true
Wait.... When did [almost-anything in ]the "horror" genre ever even become particularly _realistic_ to begin with, though? 🤔 😅🙃🤣🤣
@@jaginaiaelectrizs6341 I can totally buy zombie campground killers, demons stalking my dreams, cosmic horror in the cold, crazy shit in Texas, encounters with extraterritorial life, crazy cults, & so much more
I just can’t buy people my age getting affordable housing unless they have rich parents lmfaooooo. That’s way too much for me to believe
@@LEVIticusPHENOM 👀 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻😁
I mean, if the housing is so far in shambles that it would be truly uninhabitable and there is zero infrastructure for dozens of miles sure, they could maybe afford it, if it’s not been bought up for seasonal air bnbs anyways.
This movie was so well marketed I... didn't know it existed until, like, a day ago when scrolling through Netflix on my day off.
welcome to netflix, enjoy your stay
That’s literally exactly how I found it, I originally went on to watch tinder swindler
I saw the poster/promo image when my Netflix “screensaver” popped up. I wasn’t even sure if it was a movie or a mini series!
This video is how I found out it existed
I didn’t know it existed until I saw the thumbnail for this video
The issue with today’s sequels/reboots/requels is that studios oftentimes have contracts for film rights for so long and if they don’t regularly push out a movie related to the IP, they lose the rights to it. This movie felt like that. That the studio realized its timeline was running out and it wanted to ride the hype of Halloween and Scream but was clearly rushed and poorly executed.
There’s another side to that though: when the IP rights become up for sale and the new buyer wants to start up their own new trilogy of films.
That’s actually what this was. You can usually tell when an IP has moved to a new owner when there is a new reboot/requel/remake/next generation or sequel that ignores other sequels suddenly announced.
It Can't really ride the hype of Scream. The movie came out weeks ago. Halloween yes, even with their version ofLaurie vs Michael
At this point I'm ready to say it... Making a sequel/remake/reboot/prequel/spinoff/franchise should be punishable by death. I don't care if some sequels are good or even better than the original, I'm so sick of Hollywood studios with billions of dollars refusing to invest anything into new ideas. I don't think I've seen a high budget movie from a big studio since my ex convinced me to watch The Force Awakens in theaters, I can't bring myself to care. It's sad that the movies sometimes made for over 500x less than what major studios make offer better writing and even acting. It doesn't cost much to write a good script, all you need is food, shelter, maybe a laptop and time. No excuses.
In this case, Lionsgate and Millenium Films lost the rights after Leatherface (2017). This new one was produced by Legendary Pictures.
That old woman was supposed to be the heroine 'cause she was Leatherface's only survivor, but still they thought it'd be better if she appeared to die in a terrible way. Justice for truck-gun guy who was a really nice guy and hot as hell. He deserved better!
I think instead of bringing back Sally, they should have just had some fun and brought back Stretch. They had some very interesting history 🤣
To be fair, they shouldn't have even brought back Sally because Marilyn Burns passed away a while ago
@@ArloTheDuck agreed.
I wanted to see her, truck guy and the younger sister team up and actually kill him to subvert the "final girl" trope and have an actual group surviving, or even let her be only survival but after they all at least had a better chance at fighting and giving us a chance to actually care about them
He was the best character in the whole movie I was messed up when leatherface got him.
When she picked up the cowboy hat I screamed so high it was subvocal. That was the last straw for me and this shitty movie. You do NOT get to pass the mantle of final girl to someone new. And also Leatherface would have to be at least 70. Sure is spry in his old age.
I find it absolutely hilarious that they didn’t even bother giving Dante’s girlfriend a name because her entire role in the movie is to die.
But yeah, this movie was a whole bunch of nothing. I don’t think I’ve ever yelled so loud at a movie as I was when Lila was closing the distance in that warehouse. Plus Sally was a complete idiot. Shoot the crazed killer with the chainsaw, not waste time trying to get him to remember you
I also found it hilarious immediately when the subtitles only refered to her as "Dante's Fiancée."
@@stephaniefong8264 that was the moment I’m like, “yeah, she ain’t final girl material. So why even bother?”
They did. Her name is Ruth.
@@DrGregoryHouseIT where do they say her name? I don’t recall them ever saying it out loud
She was always an idiot. Franklin was the only one with sense in the original.
The thing that really stuck out about the Texas Chainsaw 3D one is that they really screwed up the math, because it was set in present day. Meaning Alexandra Daddario's character would've been much older over than she was in the movie, which is college aged(since she is supposed to be a baby from the seventies when the family was taken care of after all the murders).
Yeah I'm going to guess the creators did that at the last minute changing the date to present time. Then they thought movie watchers would just ignore the timeline snafu. Or they just didn't care basically.
@@tjfrizzi5965 Yup. Because honestly, if you watch any review of the movie, they bring up that the creators really screwed up the math. It's kind of funny, actually.
Ironically, there is a 50th anniversary of The Godfather and a shitty remake of Texas Chainsaw massacre
...
"Look how they massacred my boy"
Netflix makes a comedy series*
Amanda: not that funny
Netflix makes a horror movie*
Amanda: ha, hilarious, best laugh I ever had
Someone else said this before in another person's review of this movie, this movie's biggest issue is that it doesn't know what it wants to be, there are parts where it seems like it's trying to be a worthy follow-up to the original, but other times it feels more concerned with being a satire of modern America and internet culture.
the "try anything and you're cancelled, bro" is almost as bad as the "You can now kiss each other... or do whatever will get the most likes on Instagram" from the last episode of 'Just Like That'
Disappointment all around.
Given where the original film lands in the timeline of horror, I honestly feel that a lot of the tropes that became standard in its wake were introduced to rationalise its visceral, non traditional narrative and provide audiences with a sort of yellow gothic for subsequent slasher films. Villains had narrative rules, the genre had unspoken rules, therefore any story housed a rational outcome to non rational things. As long as film makers trade on that cinematic literacy, particularly in the post Scream and internet landscape, there can never be a true sequel to Chainsaw and nor does there need to be.
I thought I was the only one who found this movie horrible.
From the annoying two main leads.
Somehow guns are never loaded
Somehow leatherface can take shotgun rounds to the body as if he’s Michael Myers.
Somehow they thought it was a good idea to rip off Halloween 2018.
Somehow the car is turning at the end of the movie.
They wasted Sally’s character instead of shooting leatherface she talks to him as if he remembers her. He’s literally a manbaby who just kills.
These are examples of why this movie is horrible and I can’t believe I see people asking for sequel to how horrible this movie was. Also let’s not forget the woke social commentary that just doesn’t fit in the movie at all with the poorly developed characters.
The car is on autopilot
@@thrawnsbane okay maybe I missed that detail but even then this movie was awful. I mean I find hilarious how old girl is on the roof of the car crying for her sister 🤣🤣🤣
@@Kiddo_williams they highlighted the autopilot feature quite blatantly at the beginning and the end.
They could of at least thought about the shotgun rounds better by showing him stumbling about before finally getting offed by Sally. Of course, that would also need producers willing to have one movie and no more movies after. At least with that timeline.
I have never watched any of these movies but I still screamed no when he ran through the old lady with the maniacal laugh 😵 I am so glad these horror movie reviews exist since I am interested in the stories but can't handle watching them without added humor and censorship 😂
***Netflix❤❤
Thank you for clearing up the timeline because I couldn't figure out why this was called a sequel.
The only part I thought was "awesome" was Leatherface's silhouette on the corner as the bus passed. Otherwise the cliches need to...just....go away(although I was shocked no one tripped). I guess this movie was really the first one to have a massacre because even the director said about the bus scene, "the massacre starts."
For a franchise inspired by Ed Gein, this film gained overall nothing.
The Timeline is a total mess.
"Where's Sidney?" Exactly Amanda!!! Sidney Prescott best final girl, it's true!!!
Amanda's "happiness" is contagious I can't help but also laugh ha ha. Thanks for the entertainment in this hard time young Jedi
It was so bad that half way through it i found myself on my phone reading about armadillos.
I am such a weenie and can’t watch movies like these, but I love the stories and tropes. Thank you for making these break-down videos!
Ha ha! So glad you’re talking about this. I can’t tell if I liked it or not because slashers usually get on my nerves because the whole premise is usually “stupid people doing stupid stuff to get themselves killed”!
Also.... been listening to the mothership podcast!!! So good! 🥰
The line "try anything and you're canceled bro" was so funny to me idk why
but... but isn't she rescued... at the end of the first movie... by a stranger in a pickup truck???? Is this guy supposed to be the one person to ever drive past this unfindable house in decades, but at the exact perfect moment??? And the original house is like, the next door neighbor to the house they were driving to, that belonged to one of the kids' family????? Also if they wanted to go the unsolved mystery angle AND the influencer angle wouldn't it make more sense for them to be like. true crime youtubers making an exploitative video visiting a ghost town with an unsolved set of murders? why are they real estate developers
16:27 That is so wrong. She's not the only survivor. Don't forget the absolute best character in that entire movie : the truck driver. To this day, he's still running. 😹😹😹😹😹
I fucking lost it at the *bonk* sound effect
Part 3 actually is direct tied to part 2. Stretch appears and the back story is that she picked up the hunt from Lefty and has been following the trail or murders looking for Leatherface and his family. Draytons saying that ''the saw is family'' is engraved on Leatherfaces new chainsaw by Tink too. Though it's still pretty fast and loose continuity wise.
“Hey that new Halloween reboot made a lot of money, do we own anything like that?”
“Hmm…”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how you use emojis as censors, like it makes sense but it’s so god damn funny and with your commentary it’s just splendid omg
Horror movies that spray gore around that leads to laughs more than dread definitely aren't my jive, but it was really fun to listen to you review this film and the amusement it offered. Thanks Amanda~~
Watched with my cousin the other day just straight out laughting, bowling my eyes out the ending had me in the projectile tears stage of laughter. Was laughting so hard that we had to watch the end TWICE i wish i could erase that movie from my memory just to watch it AGAIN ten out of ten am thinking of making an account on letterbox just to give it a positive review
The social commentary part where all the ppl on the bus are filming Leatherface is wow 😂
It had me on the floor laughing
I cannot imagine surviving a chainsaw wielding brick house of a man after he killed all of my friends and several innocent bystanders and putting my ride ON A SLOW AUTOPILOT! NO ONE WOULD DO THAT, THEY WOULD BE HAULING ASS!
I’m also really disliking the troupe of final girls surrounding their whole lives around a crazed killer that traumatized them. It’s okay to not confront the behemoth of a man who’d snap you like a twig.
I would find it interesting if they take Lila's character and re-enforce the trauma she went through she goes to the old house and learns what happened she sees the tantrums, him eating old rotten human meat, leatherface just trying to protect his home and her trying to outsmart him make it atmospheric Pan over a shot of the home and fields with quiet music and you hear the revving let the pit of the viewers stomach drop knowing he's here
Thank you for giving this monstrosity the skewering it deserved. The funniest video on UA-cam that I've seen in a long time. And it's not as if there's a lack of competition. Damn 😭
Sally was SO out of character, like why would she be butchering a pig after seeing her friends hung up on meathooks?? Why would she stay there? I kept wanting to call her Laurie… plus they made Leatherface invinsible? Incredibly frustrating, blatantly copying Halloween’s reboot. The atmosphere also sucks so bad
26:10 "final girl, my @$$, where's Sydney?" *lmfao* hahaha
I laughed so hard at the end. It was insane.
I was laughing the whole time and I came to see reviews if anyone laughed too. Omg it was so ridiculous. My fav part was when they were trying to cancel him. I loved that part.
So i'm rewatching this and it occurred to me how did it take so long for Sally to find leatherface when he's living right there in the town
I watched this and it felt like watching a five minute 2 hour movie
The thing that bothered me is why Dante can still wake up and walk into the street after his jaw being brutally ruptured and passed out because of shock
I’m a sucker for when an iconic thing from a movie comes up, such as in the Rob Zombie Halloween reboot, when Michael Myers went back to his old house and got his mask and knife while the Halloween theme is playing, that was pretty badass. So when I saw the chainsaw hit the floor, I cracked a smile, well done Hollywood, you get one point.
Was going to make a comment about the timeliness of that hogs reference and realized I’ve lost all concept of time and have no idea if that tweet was last year or last decade
I thought this movie was entertaining. It wasn't good or of any quality, but damn, I had a blast watching it. That bus scene massacre was so satisfying, and so was the ending when he killed Melody. That's all I really want in a horror movie: a good time, and annoying characters to root against so their deaths can be entertaining.
Halloween 2018 started an annoying trend.
“Hey let’s make a direct sequel to the original film even though there’s already a direct sequel to the original film….but modern!”
"Sir, there is a perfectly good deputy face right there."
I am so HAPPY that I was not the only person laughing at the ending!!! I thought something was wrong with me, that I was evil or dead on the inside!
Thank you so much for making this video!!
Literally love your back drop for this. I could not stop laughing at your "kill" painting and the up side down barbie fits perfectly.
I'm old enough to have seen the original in a theater. How did I do that? I was 8. Drive-in!! Let's hear it for older brothers with no moral compass!
I feel like I can see a bit of what they were going for with bringing school shootings in- there’s something interesting about how the original TCM came out in an age where we didn’t have frequent school shootings. So how does a legendary chainsaw massacre stay relevant in the age of frequent gun massacres? But they somehow missed that that’s all depressing as hell.
As a born and raised Texan… no that’s how it is. All interaction. Exactly like that.
lmao... the upside down Barbie works for everything, forever. That's got me rolling now that you've drawn my attention to it.
Ngl, I'm not a fan of horror movies but I really appreciate commentary on said horror with humor.
1. If you have 1mil you can definitely buy a ghost town in America(for less even, I think 200 grand is the cheapest)
2. Wild hogs are a real problem in the mid west and middle america. Just ask Cody of Some More News.
3. You are not wrong. THIS MOVIE IS HILARIOUS😂
My bf and I watched this last week and we cried with laughter! Especially when leatherface poked his head out in the flower field that was so unnecessary and stupid
This movie wishes it was Texas chainsaw massacre 2, that is a cinematic masterpiece of b horror.
Wouldn't say I 'liked' it, but I'm glad to hear other people laughed at the same beats.
The way sally Was lifted with the chainsaw is a fatality from mortal kombat X i believe
I loved it. It was a fun ride with bucket loads of gore, some really clever direction and a whole lot of chainsaw massacring. I think it's a really stellar entry in the series. It's gorgeously shot with a great score and an intimidating Leatherface. Anyone who went into this expecting a substantial plot or deep characters were fooling themselves.
They can't escape because he's blocking the entrance? Why doesn't anyone ever use the windows to escape?
i really like the shiny blue light in the black mic.
Leather face is also revealed to be part dolphin in this movie
When leatherface was "cancelled" I died inside.
A southerner viewing their loud cars as freedom of speech is the most Texas shit I have ever heard.
I mean this in a good way... I stopped watching Miss Congeniality for this.
Holy crap! It's landscapers day at my complex and one of them revs up his leaf blower thing right outside my window when the chainsaw came out and I nearly peed my pants! Roflol scared me to pieces 😱
There's something to be said about a franchise so dead it has no pulse
Whatever companies made this being Legendary pulled is the equivalent of that guy from South Park beating a dead horse
Man, all I can is, I hope I have Leatherface's stamina in my mid 70s.
Just once I'd like to see a Texas Chainsaw reboot that plays off of the second movie. That one was my favorite
15 seconds in the rain would be a great song name
If you aren’t subscribed to this channel then you are destined to end up in the next tall girl movie!
The worst thing that ever happened to Texas Chainsaw massacre, was *Franklin*
I don’t remember where I saw it but there was an article that said early viewed said it was to bloody/gory which I found funny
26:51 ... and we … have strong symptoms of tolerance towards you too. There. I said it.
What's so funny to me is how a couple of my friends were dragging the movie for being "woke". And when I watched it, I'm like...is it really "woke" if the only likeable character is Let's Go Brandon (that's my name for Ritcher)? Whoever wrote this horrific script outsmarted themselves because they tried too hard and it just ended up making the movie a hilarious trainwreck.
I genuinely snorted laughing seeing the ending. The way the car slowly drives off as Leather face does "I got your nose" with ole girl's whole head...ahhh this movie was so fun. Objectively terrible, but fun.
Peacemaker is worth it. Plus you owe Gunn a playlist. I'm watching All of Us Are Dead; coming of age during a zombie apocalypse seems right up your alley.
Immaculate use of the Angela clip *😘🤌*
I can’t wait to see what you thought of this dumpster fire of a movie
17:25 there's a chungus amungus
" blah blah like minded individuals blah blah"
insert Allison from The Umbrella Academy "noo, you definitely started a cult."
To be honest as far as the ferral hog thing, I don't think they were referencing a tweet...ferral hogs are just a well known problem in Texas.
Leatherface vs a bunch of woke millennials. I’m in😅 go leather
I mean, they don’t look like they’re 26 or older but okay
As someone from rural Texas, you don't come between a man and his truck or his guns. When what's her name asked truck guy why he's a nilist and he said I'm from Texas I don't like being told what to do I was like... Yeah that sounds right
Amanda, what are your feelings towards Encanto? And also what do think about the songs We don't talk about Bruno and, Surface pressure?
man I thought I was ALONE w my feral hogs conspiracy board thank God I am not
If not for this channel I'd have never known about this movie.
Its dreadful asf. I'm old asf I knew who would die and I'm what order. Ridiculous no 70 year old could do that
This movie also came out on Netflix too instead of the theaters. I love you!! Stay safe!!
Okay, well now we need a video about that Feral Hog book because that sounds so bad and probably something like that Morning Glory Milking Farm that Tiktok burned into my brain. (And because I had to look it up and watch all those videos off of that, you too reader must now know that cursed knowledge. Be brave soldier).
This feels like that godawful movie "Tone-Deaf" from a few years back.
I loved this movie XD Does everything I could want from this franchise. Leatherface wearing a face, brutal kills, unlikeable characters you want dead, Leatherface keeping with the somewhat sympathetic character, amazing gore, and lastly the chainsaw dance.
On top of that we actually got really competent cinematography with even a little satire with Halloween by bringing back the original final girl XD
bro, depending on the species and size of the sounder, feral hogs will kill your children or even a grown man. if you live in the country and have feral hogs around, carrying a gun makes sense. preferably a BIGGER gun. not that it wasnt probably just a reference like you said.
Is it bad when the "good characters" are so unlikable that I wanted them all to die horribly lol.
Me, who watched the whole movie: Wait, they're influencers?
15:54 Hahahaha! That’s good stuff.
