It's funny they want to keep the original in the rebooted continuity when it seems almost unanimous that fans don't want that. Especially since Leatherface is in his 70s at this point. It works for Michael Myers because there's an air of the supernatural about him anyway, but Leatherface is just a guy. This is basic stuff for horror fans but I guess some studio heads don't get it or (more likely) care. That's why I thought bumping up the date to the early 21st century would allow them to still tell a new story while also keeping the local lore alive.

I can't say I hated this movie as it is, though. As slashers go I've certainly seen worse, and I did sit through the entire thing, which can't be said for Texas Chainsaw.

Oh so you basically seen the more "serious" ones. Not judging since I love the 1974, remake and The Beginning for their more scary vibe and the family characters which I truly believe they add some lore to the franchise and makes it more interesting than Leatherface by himself. But all these new movies are just focusing on the crazed scary chainsaw dude from the posters and marketing department than what made the actual movies interesting in the first place. If they make a sequel to this one, I hope they add some sort of lost family member or at least an unhinged character to fill that void. Also to stop making the main characters incredibly dumb.
