*SPOILER ALERT!!! WE WILL BE DISUCSSING TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE IN DEPTH, INCLUDING WHO DIES AND WHO SURVIVES*

Sequels are an important part of horror. While that do not always work out (and eventually end up diluting the source material), they are one of the determining factors of success in the genre. In recent years, legacy sequels have become increasingly popular. One of the big marketing themes around Texas Chainsaw Massacre was how it was a direct sequel to the 1974 original. We discuss reboot versus sequel and try to figure out what the latest installment in the franchise was going for.

We also talk about popular ideas in horror. Reality versus the supernatural and white science versus Black magic are often seen, but the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies have always been about the city versus the country. This was a big part of the latest installment, but did it amount to anything more than jabs at Austin and modern society? Was the movie genuinely trying to make a statement or was it all a joke?

Unlike the original, Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a gory movie. We talk about the kills in the movie and whether it was too much. We also talk about what the film means for Fede Alavarez and how the film is indebted to horror movies of the past. Plus, talks about homages, sequels, and final girls.
