All 9 ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ movies, ranked
Movie rankings: From dull and rusty to cutting-edge, here are my rankings of a half-century’s worth of films in the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” franchise.
‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ (2003) a remake done right
Frightening Friday (Movie review): Director Nispel taps into the old backwoods horror while Kosar has a blast writing an alternate narrative.

Frightening Friday (Movie review): Tobe Hooper’s film is so well-made that audiences didn’t know how to take it upon its release.
