The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies basically have zero continuity, so you're better off just ignoring that aspect.

2 is a direct sequel to the original, 3 has no references to 2 and repeats scenarios/situations from the original so it's a quasi-remake, the Next Generation does kind of the same but expects you to have seen the original, the 2003 remake isn't any more of it's own thing than 3 was, Texas Chainsaw 3D is a direct sequel to the original (with timeline errors somehow), and it looks like this new one is too. Then there's two prequels, one to the original/Texas Chainsaw 3D (that kind of exists to fix the timeline problems, but also creates more), and then one to the 2003 version with R. Lee Ermey.

Plus two of those movies are called "Leatherface" and three of them are called "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"

And Leatherface gets called Bubba, Junior, Thomas, Jedidiah, and Jackson depending on the movie.

It's ironic that the reboot is usually deployed when people are sick of sequels and want to wipe the slate clean and start over, but here's a series that is more or less nothing but reboots in one form or another and the last thing people want is to start over again with the knowledge that the latest is just gonna get rubbed out in a few years anyways.

One of the unspoken triumphs of Halloween 2018 is that it's kind of the exact opposite of what everyone assumed it was going to be. It's not trying to be a direct sequel to the original, rather it calculated the aggregate tone of the entire series and made a continuation of that, and even keeps the "lore" of the prior movies intact by making them urban legends within its story. It's very proudly "Halloween 11."

I hesitate to say that's the secret to the movie's success since I'm not sure people realize it (and especially with the follow-up I'm seeing more and more dissatisfaction that it resembles the other sequels too much), but the Halloween series actually feels way more unified now than it ever did, and it's a pretty unique achievement.

Basically TCM at this point really needs something that does that for its series because every entry feels modular and insignificant, nothing that happens in it matters. (Or you can just, you know, not make more TCM movies, that would work too)

It's dumb and was the most predictable whodunit I've seen in a long time.

Yes a TCM is a whodunit because the whole movie is basically guessing who will become Leatherface and it's obvious.

That was a weird one because I felt like it was perpetually "coming soon" and when I finally looked it up because "when was that movie supposed to come out again" I found it had been released over a year prior.

Going from what I've seen in fanfic, Leatherface in High School and dealing with going to prom was a bigger section than I thought was possible.

I watched the 2003 Platinum Dunes remake last night and my major complaint about it is that Leatherface comes off as just a juggernaut without sympathy. Leatherface is more scary because he has that weird domestic side, not less.

That movie couldn’t be more 2003, so if you want to revisit the early aughts aesthetic it’s a good one to watch. For me it looks too clean, or I guess more like fake dirty and edgy. The house feels staged, not the result of decay like in the original. R Lee Ermey was solid though.

What are you looking at?
The Amityville series is hilarious to me because I used to live five minutes from Ocean Ave and every single movie gets the landscape wrong. The houses are pretty close together, not on sprawling properties as depicted over and over again. What's even funnier is that one of the reasons the murders were so notable is because the houses aren't that far apart, which made the fact that none of the neighbors heard anything all night creepy as poo poo.

I think I'm too familiar with the early 2000s to be able to detect much of its aesthetic, aside from really specific things like white dudes dying their hair blond to look like Eminem, and girls with light brown hair were dying their hair blond to look fresh, and black girls were dying their hair blonde to look like Beyonce and Lil Kim... basically everyone was dying their hair blond 24/7.

Also for a couple years there it was just REALLY in to dress skanky. Like life had turned into this ever escalating competition to see who can show off their titties in public as creatively as possible. Deep cleavage, sideboob, undercleavage, completely unbuttoned shirts held in place by double-stick tape with no bra underneath, you name it.

Malignant had an early 2000s feel for me. Thinking about it, it looked a lot like the og CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, but filmed on modern equipment. The procedural aspect adds to that a bit.

Thinking about TCM really was kind of the quintessential early 2000s horror flick aside from maybe The Ring, like that is right smack dab the moment in-between hip funny teen slashers and the torture porn era.

One thing to keep on mind is that nu metal and adjacent acts were never as popular as the movies made them seem. Linkin Park and a couple others were legit big but otherwise it was definitely something the entertainment industry was trying to "make happen" by stuffing them into every movie and I remember I was almost embarrassed how out of touch it made some movies look. Nobody was playing that poo poo at nightclubs and sure as hell nobody was trying to dance to it, yeesh.

Nu metal wasn't for clubbing though. It was for hyper aggressive dudes to crank out of their cars or in a mosh pit to make everyone else give them a wide berth.

A lot of big 90s to 2000s dance acts were just like the same five dudes in Sweden with random hired models in all the music videos and/or concerts.

Not saying this is a bad thing but it is an amusing thing.

I actively disliked the look and sound and vibe of early 2000s horror at the time, and every time I go back to watch one it just validates those feelings. I wish I could join in on the grungy fun and enjoy, but I just can't.

No Skinny Puppy, no Coil, no Wax Trax stuff, no Einstürzende Neubauten.

It's an amazing soundtrack that suits the movie perfectly but Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson are hardly an "industrial peak"
