4.8/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"83 minQuick Hit
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre comes off like a blade-forward slasher—dirty, hysterical, while the pressure keeps climbing.
Full Take
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre leans hard into slasher energy, and Tobe Hooper keeps the tone dirty without letting the movie drift. The craft is sharp, the mood is nasty, and the pressure keeps building until the whole thing snaps. This is the kind of horror that lingers after the credits.

I see both sides. Some parts dragged.
I’m kind of in the middle on this. There are parts that really work, but also a lot that don’t. It ends up feeling inconsistent depending on what you’re looking for.
