Both films essentially pretend that none of the other sequels have occurred and revive their principal boogeyman once again in the present. The obvious inspiration behind Texas Chainsaw Massacre seems to be the surprise success had when David Gordon Green resurrected the Halloween franchise with Halloween (2018). There is also the ominous name of Fede Alvarez, who previously directed the remake of Evil Dead (2013) and Don’t Breathe (2016) and who is proving to be one of the worst directors in Hollywood on the basis of The Girl in the Spider’s Web (2018). Soon into shooting, the original directors, brothers Ryan and Andy Tohill, were fired by the studio, Their replacement was David Blue Garcia, a former cinematographer who had only previously made one film with the non-genre Tejano (2018) about drug smuggling across the Mexican border. This new version did not exactly inspire confidence. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a further sequel to the original, which, like all the other sequels, acts independent of the other.
Texas Chainsaw (2013) was another sequel and was followed by a prequel Leatherface (2017).
TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE 2003 VS 2013 SERIES
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) was a remake, which also spawned a prequel to the series with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006). Other hands took over for the dull and formulaic Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990), while Texas Chain Saw co-writer Kim Henkel’s made the not uninteresting The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre/The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: A New Generation (1994). Tobe Hooper returned to make the first sequel with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986), which took a very different turn and plunged into black comedy territory. This has become a surprisingly prolific genre niche since then. It was a classic of the genre that this author has termed Backwoods Brutality, featuring innocents wandering into backwoods locales and being brutalised by hillbillies and the degenerate and in-bred.
Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) is a landmark of the horror genre. Leatherface then proceeds to return to Harlow and slaughter his way through the group of friends and busful of investors arrived to peruse the property. Her hulking son snaps, eliminates the police and then skins the face from one of the bodies to make a mask for himself. As the sheriff’s department takes the old woman away, she expires. They disturb an elderly woman living in one of the houses who insists the place is legally hers and evict her and her hulking son. A group of young people from Austin travel into the Texas countryside, having purchased the property rights to the abandoned town of Harlow, which they are preparing to redevelop as an alternative culture paradise.
