The Texas Chainsaw Massacre came out four years before Halloween, but now it seems like it's trying to imitate that franchise, with unfortunate results. This new Texas Chainsaw Massacre clearly takes direction from the recent Halloween and Halloween Kills movies. They even brought back the original Final Girl—the character, at least; Marilyn Burns, who played Sally Hardesty, passed away in 2014, so thankfully she isn't part of this film. Overall, what sets this apart from countless other slasher films is that it might be the first "Dead Millennial Movie" instead of just another movie about disposable teenagers. The kills, which could have potentially rescued even a mediocre horror sequel, are also underwhelming; only the initial one, which involves a clever use of a bone fragment piercing a broken bone, feels inventive at all. The best thing to say about this lackluster film is that it’s brief—even more so if you factor in the roughly ten minutes dedicated to the closing credits; however, any movie will feel short when it lacks a proper ending. I'm not talking about the fact that Sally, who has supposedly been tracking Leatherface for “more than 30, 40 years,” finally corners him and then suddenly decides to postpone her revenge. After waiting decades for this moment, she figures she can wait just a little longer; what’s five more minutes with an old friend? It's incredibly foolish, but if the movie had ended there, it wouldn't have been any less disappointing than the actual conclusion. The worst thing about TCM ‘22 is its audacity to draw a comparison between the chainsaw massacre and a school shooting (“Stonebrook High,” which sounds disturbingly like Stoneman Douglas High School), as if a film that relies on excessive violence and fails to offer even a satisfying resolution could ever genuinely connect with the victims of a real tragedy. That’s a new low, even for exploitation cinema.
