1. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
Obviously, the original is a landmark film in the history of not only horror but cinema itself.
2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
A remake of unexpected greatness that launched the glut of other horror re-makes most of which were awful. An extremely rare example of a remake/sequel hitting all the right notes and delivering a decent film.
3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)
Tobe Hooper’s sequel takes more of an over the top comedic route starring Dennis Hopper.
4. Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 (1990)
An interesting and adequate sequel aside from its ridiculously impossible ending.
5. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)
After the success of the 2003 re-make, this origin story film leaves a little to be desired, but not as bad and the utter garbage to come. Tries to follow in the steps of Saw and Hostel with the excessive and over the top gore.
6. Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994)
Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger? Two big Hollywood actors from Texas get there starts in the plotless mine numbing insanity.
7. Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013)
This was an obvious money grab trying to cash in on the renewed 3D craze. Just terrible all round from the script, actors, you name it.
8. Leatherface (2017)
This second origin story is as lifeless as a hacked up corpse. Picking up on some of the dead-end storylines of the previous film. Stop humanizing Leatherface! A lazy script and D list actors trying to remain relevant. We need more grindhouse and less boring Dr. Phil backstory.
