If you’re looking for something mindless to pass the time, I recommend this movie. But I f you’re looking for a good movie with even slightly believable characters, do not watch this. I’ll go over a few of the dumbest plot points in this movie. Spoiler alert. 1) Leatherface is 70+ years old now, but is somehow still just as agile as he was at 20. He is shot 3 times with a shotgun, and is not even slightly injured. 2) The chainsaw has been hidden in a wall for 50 years, but easily switches on again without even needing to be refueled. 3) 30-40 young people on a bus get attacked by Leatherface (the 70-year-old man) and make no effort to defend themselves or to open a window and escape. They all just flail around and wait for their turn to be chainsawed. 4) A woman who has been waiting 50 years for her chance to kill Leatherface, has him at point blank range with her shotgun. Instead of shooting him, she just wants to chat about whether he remembers her. She lets him calmly walk away, pick up his chainsaw, and walk out the door. 5) The same woman (who is also 70+ years old) gets impales by a chainsaw through her chest and abdomen, tossed 30 feet, and is still alive to shoot her shotgun into Leatherface’s back. And of course, being shot in the back with a shotgun doesn’t even hurt Leatherface at all.
