If you're going into any film in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, it's probably best to keep your expectations low since none of them, besides Tobe Hooper's original and, maybe, the Marcus Nispel remake from 2003 have approached anything close to frightening. This reboot, just like 2018's Halloween, pretends the other sequels never happened and brings back the original film's heroine with mixed results. The rest is a charmingly idiotic slash fest with some of the most annoying characters being sawed through by Leatherface who has, for whatever reason, been hiding in an orphanage for the past 50 years. Don't expect the film to tell you why or answer any of the other many questions you'll have about story logic or character motivations and just go along for the ride.
