 Uh, Captain Kerr! Hello? Hey, what you up to? Nothing. Have you seen that new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie that came out on Netflix? Oh, so it's a sequel to that 2017 Leatherface movie? No. Oh. So it's a sequel to Texas Chainsaw 3D? Uh-uh. So it's a sequel to the remake? Nah. It's a requel to the prequel of the remake? What the hell does that mean? I know. Direct sequel to Toby Hooper's classic original sequel, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. I think it's a sequel to the original one. Another one of those? Something tells me we're gonna need a lot of booze for this. Okay. I'll grab a keg and head on over. Welcome to another episode of Frightfully Forgotten's Trash or Treasure. What are we drinking today? We're drinking Changsings Yellow Turban Lager. They know your name. Yum-ah-oo. Tum-ah-deen. Today we're gonna bring to you 2022's Texas Chainsaw Massacre. So this movie starts off with a quick recap of the first movie. And John Lorraket reprises his role as narrator, but for this time it's more of like a documentary which is being watched on the TV. Talking about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, how there's only one survivor. It was Sally Hardesty. For some reason the leather faces wanted posters still back there with the mask on. Like that means anything. So it starts off with a group of kids of course packed into a car. They're going to this town of Harlow to kind of auction off all this property they have bought. Completely a ghost town peaking in some of the houses. This woman is still here and she really shouldn't be. She's got oxygen, she's got the walker and she's talking about how this used to be the orphanage. This house does look very familiar by the way. Figure appears on the top of the stairs and silhouette into a big hulking man. She starts having a heart attack. Suddenly these paramedics show up out of nowhere. I don't know where. How they get here so quick and they haul her off in an ambulance. This mysterious hulking man gets into the ambulance with her. The woman ends up dying. The guy who's with her grabs one of the guy's arms and breaks it. Stabs him with his own bones like into his throat. The girl is left alive. She sees Leatherface cut his mom's face off, makes his way back into town. How? I don't know. He's got a limb. You walks all the way to town. Miles and Miles. Gets there very quickly, mind you. There's a busload of prospectors too that have come to buy the property in this town. Sally Hardesty, she hears that he's a back on the loose, right? He's still on the loose. Suits up, she gets everything ready. And at the same time, there's two girls left in town that are gonna fight Leatherface. I feel like a fucking asshole saying that. So Sally Hardesty is on her way to go battle Leatherface. Leatherface is on his way to go take out a whole town's worth of people. Is Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 trash or treasure? Alright, let's be kind first. Always be kind first. What is the treasure of this movie? Okay, first and foremost is John Laracat. We're not talking about the Klingon version here. The original voiceover he did from the original movie, right? He does the voiceover in this movie for that kind of fake documentary style. You know, he's getting a lot of work now. Nightcourts coming back? Yeah. Another piece of treasure of this movie is really the kills and the effects. They're pretty good. The kills look pretty good. The effects look pretty good even though there's some blatant CGI in there. They're still pretty effective and gory. That brings us to the trash of this movie. You can see the treasure part was very short. Very short indeed. Exactly. The whole premise of this movie, which is just ridiculous. It makes no sense at all. For young people driving to this town that they've bought. They've bought this whole town? You don't even know how old these kids are. Either one looks 25, the other could be 40. What a stupid way to draw four people to a town. Oh yeah, we're just gonna buy a town. That sounds so ridiculous. You're gonna buy a town? And then just sell it. And the fact they get mad that someone is still there? No shit someone is still there. It's their fucking town. Yeah, yeah, it's their house. This house that looks strangely familiar from the original house is all of a sudden an orphanage. They say the orphanage was founded in 1974. Who watched the first movie? Leatherface at least, let's say at least 29 years old. So he's at an orphanage at almost 30 years old after the events of the first movies. Did Leatherface start an orphanage? I don't get it, where does this orphanage come from? I don't know, and who is this woman? Why did Leatherface suddenly stop killing? For no reason, for 50 years almost. What happened in that whole time frame? And suddenly he's all killing again. Did he kill again? Because his old bra died. Like what the fuck? Who is this? Wouldn't he still be killing? Leatherface himself makes no sense. You'll watch the original movie and see how the way Leatherface acts, the way he conducts himself. A mentally unstable, simple person. This Leatherface is all smart. He's all hiding the chainsaw over there to distract the people and go from behind. Like no, Leatherface is not that smart. He's a simple person chasing over the chainsaw. The mask for Leatherface, which is really quite shitty. It looks like a complete joke. He looks funny. He looks like an idiot. He looks like a stupid idiot. Yeah, that leads us into the characters of this movie. They introduced that contractor guy and he's got the gun. They're all picking a fight with him and everything. Like right away like, who would wear a gun? This is Texas. What do you expect? You're at a gas station in Texas. I hate these fucking kids. Why would you say that to a guy with a gun? He's an idiot. He has a gun. Shut the fuck up you stupid idiot. You stupid self-righteous fucking idiot. I don't know about you guys, but I couldn't identify with one character. Every character in this movie I thought was a horrible person. Yeah. Annoying and self-righteous. They deserved to die. Yeah, like you don't root for anybody. Sally Hardesty in this movie too is a complete throwaway, a complete waste. Three quarters of the way through the movie, finally she gets a phone call that, oh, it's Leatherface. And then when she meets up with Leatherface, she's got the gun. Say my name. When in the first movie did he ever learn your fucking name? Never. Not once, never. She said, I'm Sally Hardesty. You never hear it. He doesn't know your name. She's apparently been searching for him for 50 years. With these wanted posters with a mask. Oh, that's gonna do it. And she has the opportunity to just kill him right there and she doesn't do it. Don't give a shit about her because she showed up way too late. And they didn't do enough of a story arc with her. They didn't build her up at all. And it's not the same actress because Marilyn Burns died years ago. So it's a different actress and it's just like, it's so cheap. It doesn't seem like it has anything to do with the original Texas Chainsaw whatsoever. It's like a rip off of a rip off of a rip off. The kills are so on Leatherface like Leatherface is not like, Oh, I'm inventive. I'm going to find a new funny way to kill. Like these are Jason kills. These aren't Leatherface kills. Leatherface is a chainsaw or a sledgehammer. He's not going to be all inventive because he's not that smart. What happened to the family? Leatherface is all about family. The whole movie centers around them and the family. What happened to them? Leatherface is a small part in a bigger picture. Exactly. What they should have did was keep that old woman alive and have some sort of link. They could have did that at least. This movie shoves the subject matter down to the throat way too harshly. In the original, it's very subtle. Like it's about machines taking over the jobs of real men. It's about meat eating meat and like the production of meat. This is like, oh, it's about gun control. If they did try really hard to make a good movie, I feel sorry for these poor fucks because they failed miserably. If they wanted to make a farce, well, you didn't make a good enough farce because that was not it on the joke. I didn't even go that far to even think that far about this movie. It's not worth it. This movie shits so poorly on the whole Texas Chainsaw Massacre legend. It makes the original seem lesser than what it really is because the original is up there with all the greats. When people see this, they're like, well, the original can't be this good. Just stop. Please stop wreckings. Please stop raping a fucking amazing movie. Trash or treasure. It is complete trash. A complete piece of fucking trash. It's one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life is fucking pointless. It makes no sense. You don't care about any characters. Trash. Complete fucking garbage. And you're gonna need a lot of fucking drinks to get through it. And until next time, keep fucking boozing it hard if you're gonna enjoy this piece of shit.
