The 2022 installment of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise received largely negative reviews from critics, who found it to be a derivative and uninspired addition to the long-running series. While some appreciated its attempts to modernize the slasher formula and its visceral gore, many felt it lacked the originality and terror of the original film, offering little new to the genre.

• A brutal and gory continuation that struggles to innovate on the established formula.
• While visually competent, it lacks the terrifying atmosphere and psychological dread of its predecessor.
• Relies heavily on jump scares and excessive violence, offering a shallow experience.

Google audience: Audiences were divided, with many finding the film to be a disappointing and unoriginal entry in the franchise. While some appreciated the gore and Leatherface's menacing presence, a significant portion felt it was a predictable and forgettable slasher that failed to recapture the spirit of the original.

The film was initially announced as a direct sequel to the 1974 original, ignoring all subsequent sequels and reboots, though this narrative framing became less emphasized as production progressed.
