They say everything's bigger in Texas, which is accurate when it comes to the body count in Netflix's recently released Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The movie.
Despite its popularity and cult status, the slasher genre is perhaps the most formulaic of them all. Since the genre's peak in the mid 70s and until today, each slasher movie has stayed true to its original format, without much change in the presentation. Most of these movies usually involves a group of young people on a trip, perhaps to a cabin in the woods, and a serial killer with crazy choices of weapons. There's a lot of screaming and running around and characters making poor decisions that lead to their tragic death.
3/5 stars
Tobe Hooper gleefully claimed that his visceral and deeply unsettling 1974 shocker The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was based on real events. Though tenuously inspired by Ed Gein, a murderer and cannibal in the US state of Wisconsin, the film was mostly fictitious, and ironically includes only a single death by the eponymous arboreal power tool. Regardless, the film's.
