Despite its ambition and modern setting, the film received mixed to negative reviews, with critics citing a lack of depth, overreliance on gore, and underdeveloped characters. The return of legacy character Sally Hardesty was widely seen as underwhelming. While it delivers intense violence, high production value, and some stylish direction, it struggled to capture the raw terror and groundbreaking impact of the original. For fans of the franchise, it offers another chilling chapter, but for newcomers, it may feel like just another slasher film rather than a true horror revival. Bottom Line: Stylish but shallow, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) offers blood-soaked thrills but little innovation or emotional resonance. Read More
