Just watched Netflix's new "Requel" to Tobe Hoopers seminal 1974 Horror "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".
It was ok...not great, but not terrible either?
My mai complaint is that they felt the need to severely ramp up the gore in this new version, now I am a bloodletting gorehound and tbf enjoyed the Bloodshed, but, I'm also a huge fan of the original movie and it's less is more approach to the violence, there's very little guts n gore needed, it's most left to your imagination and it made TCM 74 a much more powerful movie, and solidified its classic reputation.
This new version is more akin to last years Halloween Kills, another flawed but enjoyable movie.
Let me know what you think if you give TCM 2022 a go.
