With Netflix’s 2022 Texas Chainsaw Massacre, director David Blue Garcia and the writers are obviously enamored with the original movie’s political themes, particularly the early-’70s economic recession that forced Leatherface’s family into destitution. The family choosing to feast on some New Age hippies is recalibrated for the 2020s in the newest version, which has a bunch of young social influencers looking to gentrify the ghost town where Leatherface now lives. But the film mixes its messages by turning some of the survivors into heroes, just after turning Leatherface into a victim of pure circumstance. Its attempts at grasping at the power of the original are scattershot. Even though it’s more indebted to the original film than any movie in the franchise has been for almost 30 years, the creators don’t trust in the original’s efficacy. Dika, Vera (2003).

Hooper reportedly hoped that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) would give the complete, uncut release print a "PG" rating due to its minimal amount of visible gore. [55] [56] [57] Instead, it was originally rated "X". After several minutes were cut, it was resubmitted to the MPAA and received an "R" rating. A distributor apparently restored the offending material, and at least one theater presented the full version under an "R". [58] In San Francisco, cinema-goers walked out of theaters in disgust [59] and in February 1976, two theaters in Ottawa, Canada, were advised by local police to withdraw the film lest they face morality charges.

MAYBE: Leatherface doesn’t really need to exist, but out of all of the Chainsaw films outside of the first two, its narrative concept is the one that seems particularly daring. The most stripped down of the films outside of the first, it’s on Pluto TV. Of the two, "Leatherface" is the more handsome production. The midcentury period piece stars Lili Taylor as Sawyer matriarch Verna and Stephen Dorff as Texas sheriff Hal Hartman, an obsessed lawman in the mold of Dennis Hopper's Lefty Enright, whose daughter Betty was killed by the Sawyers in 1955. Adult brothers Drayton and Nubbins are arrested for the murder, while young Jedidiah is taken away from Verna and put in a youth reformatory. Weaver, James B.; Tamborini, Ronald C. (1996).

Horror and exploitation films almost always turn a profit if they're brought in at the right price. So they provide a good starting place for ambitious would-be filmmakers who can't get more conventional projects off the ground. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre belongs in a select company (with Night of the Living Dead and Last House on the Left) of films that are really a lot better than the genre requires. Not, however, that you'd necessarily enjoy seeing it. Edmundson, Mark (1999). Nightmare on Main Street: Angels, Sadomasochism, and the Culture of Gothic. Harvard University Press. p.22.
