A sequel to the original iconic film, 50 some-odd years later sees a group of influencers "purchase" a small town in Texas to auction off business places???? I'm still not entirely sure. Anyways, they ruffle some feathers and Leatherface takes out the ol' chainsaw to slice and dice. He retrieves his chainsaw from a wall inside his house, its been sitting there for DECADES!!!! Yet, it starts without a hitch and that rusty ol' chainsaw slices like a fresh new lightsaber.
We are introduced to a group of unlikable young people. One is given the backstory of surviving a school shooting, so she knows trauma, right? I don't know if it is laughable or insulting to think that this is what they believe gives people "character". No one else stands out in this crowd. This film was dumped on Netflix and it is obvious why.
The film has one good shot and two good kills. The rest of the film is a CGI bloodfest that looks fake, feels fake and is unintentionally funny. They bring back the character that survived the original film, Sally. She is played by a different actress as the original actress died before the production of this film. What they end up doing to this character is a crime and she takes the award for dumbest character this year!!!
The final shot of the film is an homage in some way to the original, but they use the auto-drive feature of a Tesla, which made me laugh out so loud that it woke my wife. Instead of a cracked mind of the lone survivor in the back of a pick-up truck laughing manically as it speeds off down the road...we have a Tesla slowly driving away while one character looks back out the sunroof, dumbfounded as Leatherface swings his chainsaw around like a maniac. It's too comical to be taken seriously.
