A direct sequel (requel as we learned in the new Scream film), to the 1974 Horror slasher/body count Texas chainsaw massacre is coming.

So in 1974, Tobe Hooper took a folklore tale of a cannibalistic family in Texas with a mentally challenged person that ended up being the serial killer leatherface, forming an iconic horror franchise The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  

 

It says based on a true story, but many people question if this really did happen as a huge FBI investigation would have happened. 

 

But the direct sequel to the 1974 classic same title following a trend we learned in the new Scream film (Mindy Meeks, resident horror geek like her late uncle Randy Meeks was in Both Scream (1996) and Scream 2).

 

You can't reboot a franchise for a fresh start as that ****, isn't cool anymore, but you can go back to the original like Halloween did in 2018 retconning every sequel (minus the rob zombie films as most horror fans, says that's it's own franchise, not the same universe), Scream, and the Chucky tv series as well..

 

So leatherface another horror villain icon, is back with a direct sequel to the 1974 (48 years after the original), with the lone survivor from the original film making a small cameo aka her death scene..

 

This wasn't the only film that was a 70s controversial film to have a requel..

 

The 1978 original I spit on your grave had a 2019 sequel that involved the same actress, these films are very controversial in particularly among hetero***ual men, as the graphic violence aimed at the characters hit a little to close to home, that they cheer on the female getting killed. 

 

Most men can't watch it because of the violence aimed at their source of pride..

 

But here is the trailer for Netflix's direct requel to the 1974 Texas chainsaw massacre..
