Here are some quick reviews from this week’s movies. Check out the full schedule here.
Hatchet (2006) – 9/10 – It’s always fun to re-visit this one. All we want from our slashers is a fun setup, a good back story that inspires some kind of revenge, and then quick, creative ways of taking characters out. Of course Adam Green always delivers in every way.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) – 5/10 – This is not nearly as bad as people made it out to be, and I don’t know what more anyone would expect from a TCM sequel in 2022. Sally Hardesty as a Texas Ranger wanna-be Laurie Strode is OK. And while I don’t necessarily love the whole plot that brings the people to Texas in the first place, it really doesn’t matter in the end. They’re here, and Leatherface is inspired to do great things again. Oh, and they’re all idiots. (Question: Have they ever offered Adam Green a TCM sequel? Cause that would be amazing.)
