It feels like a betrayal

Putting aside Netflix budget, production values and a funny scene at the bus where Leatherface destroys the cancel culture (wink), this is an awful movie. It feels much more like a betrayal to the original movie rather than a welcome addition. Non sensical, populated with dumb characters, with no plot and leaves you with a strong feeling of wasting your time. Dead wrong.

grinding out another one

Warning: Spoilers
It's been almost 50 years since the original massacre. Trendy chef Dante (Jacob Latimore) and business partner Melody (Sarah Yarkin) are traveling to the emptying town of Harlow, Texas to set up a hip new community. Dante brings his girlfriend Ruth. Melody brings her sister Lila (Elsie Fisher) who is withdrawn after a shooting incident. Dante tries to take down a Confederate flag from an empty orphanage but a cranky old lady claims to still own it.
This old franchise grinds out another sequel. It's going to be one of the forgotten ones. There is plenty of gore but there is nothing memorable. I don't particularly care about any of these characters. Liberal hipsters are an annoying breed of stereotypes when they're written like this. I don't care if they live or die. There isn't much rooting interest and therefore the tension is simply not there.
