Isn't that most horror franchises?
Two good movies and the rest is trite!
Honestly, I don't think so (for such a major titan of terror at least). I've never seen horror fandom so universally be in agreement that there is only 2, 3 tops, good installments in this franchise. People can debate all day about Nightmare, Friday, Chucky, Scream, Evil Dead, Conjuring, Insidious, Halloween, Saw, etc., but I never see anyone defend TCM 3, or Next Generation in earnest, or Leatherface, or the new Netflix one. Any installment of the other franchises I listed, plenty of people will boast a particular one is genuinely their favorite.Isn't that most horror franchises?
what 2 movies...... ???The TCM legacy?

Don’t let this get leaked, but the final scene is Leatherface getting recruited by Nick Fury as a Titan of Terror
Yeah, I think saying the franchise has only two good entries is a stretch. The original is a classic and the sequel is gonzo and memorably out there, but the 2003 reboot is solid and slick, as is the prequel to that reboot (both feature a great appearance by R. Lee Ermey). IMO, the 2017 prequel Leatherface is interesting and has its moments, the Next Generation and Chainsaw 3D have some "so bad it's good" appeal, Leatherface: TCM III is a bland but not horrible late '80s/early '90s style slasher, etc. For me, only the Netflix one is kind of soulless. For sure TCM is less consistent in quality than franchises like Scream or Evil Dead (or for that matter, Friday the 13th, even if the baseline is lower for that one), but I wouldn't say it's FAR worse or more uneven than something like Halloween, another biggie with a mixed record. And, like Halloween, TCM is obviously deeply influential on the genre.I thought people generally enjoyed the 2003 TCM reboot.

2003 remake scared me a bit, but in my defense... I was in high school at the time.they're pretty dull movies and none outside the original are scary.
Haha, I remember that one scaring a lot of folks when it came out! Yeah, not a huge fan of the slaughterhouse setting, myself.2003 remake scared me a bit, but in my defense... I was in high school at the time.
It's definitely a franchise that is underwhelming to me. Give me a Leatherface photo-op/meAt-n-greet & I'd be content.
At least this will be an IP original. However, I'm not looking forward to the gore or smell.
Sorry….runners?Word on the street--runners are now in place for Texas!
Actors who have positions primed where they can run into the room and effectively “chase” people to the next scene.Sorry….runners?
Me in Bloodline (2022) at Knott's ...I was ruthless lolActors who have positions primed where they can run into the room and effectively “chase” people to the next scene.
Runners are genuinely some of my favorite scareactors. The ruthlessness comes natural as they feel distinctly primed to give you the biggest rush of emotions as you get chased by them.Me in Bloodline (2022) at Knott's ...I was ruthless lol
Had a scareactor last year in Chilling Chambers close to closing time that managed to somehow kick themselves up behind us with each leg on either wall and chase us out of the room basically wall running across the whole hallway. Really long legs I guess.Runners are genuinely some of my favorite scareactors.

Texas 2012s Graveyard Chase finale scared the hell out of me as a kid and led me shaking for 10 minutes due to just how vicious they went.
