Cody, You and I are SO CLOSE on our views of "Horror" movies!!!... BUT Dude you blew it on this one!!! The Original TCM is one of the Quad Kings of Horror!!! The scene where the girl is hung on the hook is one of the GREATEST Scenes in horror of ALL TIME!!! Night of the Living Dead, Halloween and Jaws round out the top 4 with honorable mentions going to the Evil Dead, Lost Boys, Jeepers Creepers and The Shinning/Dr. Sleep!!! ps. I LOVE HORROR MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 2003 for me will always be the best one followed up by the beginning, in my opinion, its definitely the experience that makes the decision for me. I myself saw the 2003 film in theaters at age 7 with my parents and was instantly blown back at such a young age, that scene where kempers face is shown being worn by leatherface...is such an iconic frame captured.

[@Blast2224]

The 2003 remake managed to do what the original did: make you feel trapped. It made you feel the dread of being alone with no help. It did however downplay Leatherface’s personality. I think that movie, in removing his more humane side, led to the later crappier sequels of him just being a guy with a chainsaw.

[@orey4411]

The 1974 is by far better and creepier

[@CordayDatzTuff]

@@orey4411really it seemed so 1974ish lol

[@desertfox738]

My favorites are The Beginning, the 2003 remake, and the original. The Beginning was just brutal as hell and had some seriously gruesome kills and a great Leatherface mask. Probably an unpopular opinion but I love it, it was actually the first Texas Chainsaw movie I saw, me and my mom had a great time squirming at the graphic violence, I’d never seen anything as brutal as that movie at the time. Also love the ending of the movie. The original is still creepy and grueling to this day, and the remake was also great, with some fantastic cinematography and Jessica Biel was a great final girl. Really love the scenes where Leatherface is trying to find her, particularly the scene where she’s hiding in the locker. And god damn was the part where she sees him wearing Kemper’s face just unnerving as hell.

[@danielb.2005]

I had a similar experience watching the 2003 remake - 14 years old and my family were only ones in the theater - to this day the scariest movie experience I’ve had. It was topped off by coming home and my dad cranking his chainsaw and chasing after me and my brother.

[@ckclark77]

Totally agree with you on 2003 vs original. That’s why in my ranking, the 2003 is pushed down 2 spots to #3. The original and part2 are the ones I grew up with. The remake was really good, but it couldn’t replace the original Hooper movies for me personally. Excellent ranking though as always. 👍

This was a great ranking! TCM is not one of my favorites but the 2003 remake is still one of the scariest.movies I’ve ever seen. I agree about the characters and the tension.

[@danielb.2005]

Agreed. 2003 and The Beginning are head and shoulders above the rest. The concept of this franchise is great but the storyline is poorly executed for the most part.

I agree so much with the 2003. I also was young and saw it in movies and it haunted me for a few months. I love when horror can make me on edge in real life. Even rewatching brings me chills.

[@jslane11]

The 2003 remake is also my favorite! The original was always close behind it but after watching Part 2 again recently, I actually like it more than the original. It’s a fun horror comedy with over the top gore and I have a blast every time I watch it. That specific genre of horror movie tends to be one of my favorites. Evil Dead 2, Re-Animator, Return of the Living Dead and Dead Alive are some good examples.

[@SaltyDawg12]

I saw the 2003 TCM and Freddy vs. Jason in the same night in the theater. Favorite theater memory ever.

[@michaelshane5882]

[@dylanrutzen1240]

“Do your thang cuz” 😂😂😂, Excellent video brother, always look forward to new ones from you

[@farsilence324]

After all these years the 2003 version/remake is still my favourite. Dark/scary/unpredictable atmosphere and solid moments. Somehow I always think that the late 90s'/2000's horror movies have this vibe in them that the new ones lack.

[@18ps3anos]

It depends on which new ones you are talking about. The early 2000s was a very bad and stale period for western horror. Most of it was either trying to capture what J-horror did in the late 90s or was doing at the time, milking some overused monster flick concept or just pumping weak remakes/reboots of old classics or asian horror. There are some exceptions of course, like the 2003 remake of chainsaw massacre. I feel like that period in particular, even though thinking about it fuels me with nostalgia, wasn't very inspired really and you have plenty of great modern horror movies that do things a lot better - but like I mentioned, it does depend.

[@Princeerockstarr]

I was 10 when the 2003 remake came out and it was the first TCM I ever saw. And I had a very similar experience to Cody in the theatre . I felt so uneasy and ferried watching which was strange because even at 10 I enjoyed watching horror movies. But something about the gore, environment, and characters in TCM stuck with me and to do this day, like with Cody, it’s my favorite TCM film. I’ve seen the classic original several times before and while I recognize it’s impact, innovative ness , and influence of the time , it just doesn’t have the same effect on my as the 2003 adaption. It’s true a small part of it may be nostalgia but I’ve also seen MANY shitty remakes that I’d never say we’re better than the original, even if I seen the remake first. However as far as TCM, The 2003 adaption will always be #1 for me.

[@timo7203]

Honestly, I think this new one is now my second favorite. 2003 is the best one, obviously, but there was something about this one that did it for me. I'm also like you though, not a huge fan of this franchise.

[@yeeyeebubba1885]

1974 is definitely the best one 💀

[@icomeandgobybubble87]

My favorites are the remake and "The Beginning." The original was good but didn't effect me the way the remake did. The remake was the first horror movie that made me jump in theaters.

[@ashwilliams7302]

Great ranking! My list: 1. Original 1974 (classic, scary, influential, iconic) 2. The Beginning (one of the best prequels ever, well paced, gory and the most entertaining) 3. Remake 2003 (used to be a lot lower cause some of its dumb characters, some boring stuff and no cannibalism, but everything else is well made) 4. Leatherface (I just love this movie for being different, trying something new, has a lot of great gore and cast, loved the atmosphere) 5. Texas Chainsaw 3D (it was tough to decide between this and the new direct sequel as both have a lot of flaws, but this wins due to its entertaining value for now) 6. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (loved the gore, the cast was okay, the Massacre was too short and liked the Leatherface defeat in the end, we don't get a lot of Leatherface defeats in this franchise, but it's too short, not enough material and doesn't bring anything new at all, and so unlike Halloween 2018, this isn't better than most of the entries that it ignores) 7. Part III (Viggo carried this movie on his back, the tone and setting was good, but it's boring and lame at times) 8. Part 2 (I understand this movie, but I don't understand the fans making this better than most of the entries) 9. The Next Generation (as you said, this movie is on the bottom, of course, cannibals eating pizza, Matthew and Renée almost ruined their careers, no gore, worst Leatherface, Illuminati stuff, 🤮🤮)

[@ojmcclanahan689]

I hated the remake for a long time because it left out the cannibalism. I honestly didn't like it until The Beginning came out and redeemed it... I totally disagree with you about TCM 3 though. That's my favorite in the series besides the original. I love the family dynamic in that one, and the cannibalism is in yourself. To each their own though. Great list, brother.

[@QUITUTINCIPICTURES]

I've only watched the original and every other that came from 2003 onwards, and between those I'd say 3D is by far the worst

[@isaintrovert]

I totally agree with you on part 2 of the original! I just didn’t enjoy it like everyone else supposedly does. I actually found it annoying lol. I like the persistence that Stretch had when trying to find the killers’ location but she annoyed me a lot with her terror lol. The fourth in the franchise is the absolute worst one and made no sense lol. 3D is a fun watch but the kills were meh to me and the inaccuracy is highly upsetting for me lol. We almost have similar rankings!

[@AmarZion]

What I love part 2 it’s my favorite

[@carlomongiovi8662]

Great video my man. Pretty much spot on with your ranking of these movies. My only change is lowering Part 2 which I really hate. Never understood why people liked the shift in tone. I like these movies for what they are. Brutal, dark and somewhat scary. Not humorous for me though. This would move below all, with exception of New generation and Part 3. Look forward to the Wes craven review

[@journeyofsound397]

My list is pretty much exactly the same. I do put the original at number one cause I saw that alone at the age of eleven and it got me good. The 2003 is simply amazing and it deserves more love and respect. I agree with the theater experience you mentioned that you had. I was hyped and needed my mom to take me to see this and half way she straight up bailed and sat in the lobby while my 13 year old ass was having demented pleasure from the experience of it

[@ParanormalFire]

The Breakfast Club poster for TCM 2 tells you exactly what kind of tone the movie is.

[@andre.moonlight]

my favorite is the 2006 prequel. I’m not sure which one i watched first (2003 or 2006) but the 2006 one has a place in my heart for some reason. I think the big difference between this one and the others in the franchise for me is that i actually cared about the characters. It’s one of those movies that genuinely scares me.

[@whodatking26]

03 TCM is a horror movie that will legitimately leave you in terror. It genuinely scared the shit out of me as a kid. You can't unsee the things in the movie, I actually didn't even finish watching it my first time when I was 12 years old. Straight up a legendary Texas Chainsaw Massacre that should be held has the gold standard.

I am happy to see you having texas chainsaw massacre part 2 so high. I love it so much. We got an iconic character in bill moseley's chop top.

Great review! I mostly agree with you with the exception of Leatherface 2017. To me that’s the worst of the worst but I do understand why you put it where are you did. I go back-and-forth on the original and the remake. I think it’s rare that you get a remake that’s as good as the 2003 one.

Yup! I watched TCM 2003 opening night in theatres when I was 14, and was beyond traumatized, obsessed and amazed simultaneously. It’s my #1 as well, by a long shot! Great ranking!

[@SennyGamingHQ]

I'm in the same boat that I saw the 2003 version at a young age before seeing the original. For me its the 2003, original, and then tied for 3/4 between the beginning and the newest one. My ONLY gripe with the remake is this: Texas Chainsaw Massacre is inspired by Ed Gein and shows it in the original with household decor made from human remains left right and center. There was none of that almost in the remake which was something that really added to the horror of the Sawyer house. I also wouldn't have minded more gore candy but I'm not as let down by that as my previous comment

[@stevenlicari3058]

I thought I was being biased and there wasn't any way it would have won the original or the several others. But I think that's the thing about it is that the subtle kills of it just stand out. You explained the experience of it perfectly!

[@opaque4742]

Great explanation of why the remake is your #1, Cody. Mine too, followed by The Beginning. I'm not normally a remake guy, but I must admit I like this 2003 one better than 1974 as well. I think sometimes a product can catch lightning in a bottle and be revered despite its crude, rudimentary, nature and people sometimes mistake influence for craftsmanship. In this case, I had a more visceral and lasting reaction to the remake than I did the original.

[@kingoceanblu4445]

I disagree on TCM The Beginning. Watch it as a Movie. Dont think of it as a Prequel. The things they do in the movie to set up the remake. The grandfather getting his leg cut off because of the sloppy work. It works towards the dark comedy that the original tried for

[@joeljohnson6137]

8# (Sequel) I never saw Next Generation yet but for me the sequel was the worst. I did thought Bill Mosely was funny. But he outshined Leatherface makin it more silly than serious. Sheriff Hoyt looked like he might out shined Leatherface too but at least in those ones you still felt scared tho. I don't know what people love abt this one but it never felt serious that much to be in my top 3 or 5 Texas Chainsaw was not supposed to be a comedy horror. This looks like a Rob Zombie Texas movie 7# (Trilogy) This was boring but still had more gruesome kills than sequel.. I actually thought the saw was the coolest also.. 6# (Original Beginning) The intense in this 2017 movie was actually higher than 2 3 4 an 5. I may have made a mistake putting this at 6 spot when this should really be 2 spot. This film was the second scariest an second most intense but I put it low cause of lack of Leatherface kills but his last kill in the end was a top 10 for me.. 5# (3D) People sleep on this film. This has top 5 chainsaw kills. It took a gamble an made Leatherface good which was a great plot to see a villian good for once in a evil town. Remember people forget Leatherface is slow an that don't always mean he gonna always be bad.. I loved the carnival woman chase scene. I like how you felt sorry for him this time.. 4# (2022) This had the coolest story in my opinion. It also had the best kills as Leatherface 3# (Remake Prequel) Sometimes I go back an forth with 03 an 06 TTCM because this one was little more scary cause of prequel. But remake had better cast of characters especially Sheriff Hoyt performance in remake was better.. 2# (Remake) This one is more favorite than original an more entertaining but it didn't look as intense an scarier than original. 1# (Original) This is the scariest an more intense when first watching out of all of them. I love the main character final woman the most in this one as well.

[@sylarplissken]

To be fair to Adam Marcus, who wrote Texas Chainsaw 3D, his screenplay had it specifically set in 1993. The director was the one who wanted it set in modern times. When I met Bill Moseley a few years back, he told me that the director has no interest in the franchise. Moseley had a back & forth with the director about whether or not Drayton was Leatherface’s father. He said after he kept telling him that he was in TCM2 and played another one of the brothers alongside Jim Siedow and was directed by the original creator, the director kept on insisting that Drayton was the father.

💯 I’ve never seen the MM one. I haven’t had time to check out the new one, my son is in his room now, watching it. I’m off Monday, so I’ll check it out tomorrow night. I appreciate the original for the behind the scenes and the origin story. My favorite is the Jessica Timberlake version. It felt authentic and it was just a great film. Love part 2. Sometimes, at work I wish I had a lighter and a wire hanger just to be dramatic and have some comedy relief. Great video, Cody! ❤️

[@chasevids14]

Hey Cody, I think I can kinda explain the comedy toby hooper was going for in the original that not a lot of people get. To me I do get a chuckle every time I watch it for the characters like the sawyers when they bring sally home near the end when they’re kinda bossing around leatherface and when the cook starts hitting the hitchhiker. He kinda plays that older brother type role to both in a twisted sort of way to where it makes me laugh that they behave like any other family behaves except they do it in a twisted sort of way. It’s subtle and not the type of ha ha comedy that part 2 gave but the elements are there. But that’s just my interpretation though.

[@tiffanyjessee]

I just recently, within the last two weeks, watched most of these. I don't know what I was waiting on? I love them. I guess I thought they weren't for me. My list would be similar to yours except I haven't seen the 3 following the first one, and honestly I don't think I will. No one has said anything about them that makes me want to see them. For now my list would be : 1.Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning 2.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) 3.The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 4. Leatherface (2017) 5. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022). I agree that my favorite version of leatherface is Andrew Bryniarski, especially in the beginning of the prequal before he actually puts on a face. I also liked how from 2003/2006 there was "gore" but not too much. For me anyway. I think I would have liked 2022 better if the kills were 1. more believable and 2. not so gory/fake. I totally agree on the way they made leatherface more "smart" or whatever in the new one. Def didn't make sense to me.

Really hooked on your content brother its great stuff! I especially love the fact you won't take any shit from people. It's your list. it's your opinion, and i respect the hell out of that! Cheers from Kiwi 🥝 land 👍.

[@soelaborate5066]

I Agree with the list. I would probably swap your #3 & #4 around but outside of that, awesome list.

@Big K I’m glad I’m not the only one that hated TCM 2022, although I would controversially put The Beginning at #3 on my list

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

@@dong.corleone I can understand putting the beginning at number 3 I have no real problem with the movie it just kind of felt too similar to Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003 in my opinion

[@dong.corleone]

@@bigkmoviesandgames with the 2022 film they kind of pull a “Last Jedi” on the franchise if you think about it. In the trailers we are lead to believe sally is gonna play a major role, but she’s killed off way too soon before any real action between her or leatherface happens so she’s basically given the Snoke treatment, Leatherface is even played dirty as well, the characters are all complete idiots, and it seems like Leatherface has been killed in the end, but somehow he survives anyway, and thus it becomes the very sequels it’s trying to retcon basically. So this movie was the final nail in the coffin for TCM and if they make a follow up I won’t be watching it

[@lostlifevids]

I also agree I watched 2003 when I was 12 with my sister for some reason. And I was also raised on 80s slashers so that’s probably why I ended up in this situation lol. But yeah off the chain experience that left me terrified and I still remember vividly what it felt like to see some of the scenes in this movie for the first time. It’s iconic to me, how can revolver out of pussy not be. I remember my sister who was in her 20s went down stairs to get something directly after that scene and I just rewinded it cause as a young girl I was like: wait did I just see what I thought I saw. Certainly an eye opener for me and how I interpreted the scene. I’ve never heard any other takes on it which I’m sure there are cause it’s not like it’s shown directly just suggested. But to me it certainly played out that way.

[@jasonchilado]

Good list Cody! Always really liked the remake. And I’m a person who is usually super hard on remakes

texas chainsaw massacre texas chainsaw massacre 3D leatherface texas chainsaw massacre 3 texas chainsaw massacre 2 texas chainsaw massacre next generation i have seen the beginning but dont remember it and havent seen the remake and dont have netflix so havent seen the new movie yet

[@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth]

I've always been a fan of the 2003 remake. It could have a lot to do with the fact that I was late to the horror game, and that was around the time that I started really getting into it. But, I've watched it recently and seemed to think that it still holds up, imo. Cheers, Cody!

[@charlottegore5449]

Yes !!!!! The remake is to me the best in this franchise. My ranking is (from best to worse) Texas chainsaw 2003 TCM: The beginning (underrated!!) TCM 1974 (I appreciate it, and despite me being someone that prefers originals, it’s the rare case that the remake to me is a much better made film) - the rest I just either enjoy, find Meh or find dreadful TCM 2 TCM 4 (Matthew McConaughey makes this worth it. I can LAUGH at this film at least, and being female he’s not bad for the eyes either haha) Leatherface - bland, though I appreciate the different direction. Texas chainsaw 2022 - fucking awful, I was not impressed at all. And HATED most of the characters. And CGI blood. Ugh. Story was weak and the whole sally thing was done so bad. Texas chainsaw 3D - DREADFUL TCM 3 - what happened in this again ?? 😂😂😂😂 BORING !!!!!

[@donalddean2037]

Your list is pretty good. I would swap Leatherface with Texas Chainsaw 3D but I am a sucker for that film because the scene that shows someone getting chainsawed in fucking half!!!!

[@Sleeplessmind88]

I personally love the 2003 and 2006 versions, i grew up on them and i just love the build of them and how they go into depth of the family, having a good dosage of all the characters in the family along with just leatherface himself. i also love how they made the character with a strong build but still like chunkier ig? but it works becuase you could have a chunky character but they have no muscle strength. I also like that they are so scary and agressive, that is like one main thing i look for in a horror movie character tbh.

[@darkghoulrecords]

You ranked this list very well!

[@adamsummers4162]

I was 13 also when I saw this in theaters and it scared the shit out of me! It was after school and still kind of empty in the theater and that made it all the more terrifying

[@jacobbullon649]

2003 is my personal favorite as well. I remember being terrified of the promo for the MTV movie awards when it came out.

[@nielsjohansen]

My ranking is so far from your ranking, but I totally get why it is so 🙂 My ranking is: 8. Leatherface 2017 7. TCM Next Generation 6. TCM 2003 5. Texas Chainsaw 3D 4. Leatherface TCM III 3. TCM 2022 2. TCM The Beginning 1. TCM 1974 and TCM Part 2

[@DesiSJ]

Agree with you on your number 1 for all the reasons you said. It was my introduction. The original ranks super low for me because of rewatchability. I'd rather rewatch a bad movie that I have fun with than a movie that doesn't give me enjoyment at all and the original doesn't despite it being ground breaking.

[@johnnyblaze8030]

Great segment as always Cody!! Which one should I watch 1st The Begining or the 2003 remake? I haven't seen those 2 yet!!

[@joshhayes8172]

I mean I'll always put the original in my #1, but I back ya .... there is a place for remakes.

[@youbigmaad5753]

The 2003 one has always stuck with me for some reason genuinely terrified of this movie don’t even know why.. leatherface in this one is just terrifying

[@iggyiggz1999]

In one of the Behind the scenes clips, that was included with the Texas Chainsaw 3D, the director (IIRC) did mention and talk about the plot hole of the main characters age gap. He basically said they are aware it doesn't make much sense, but that it doesn't really impact the movie in any way. And I do honestly agree with that. It doesn't make much sense but it doesn't really impact anything for me.

[@86blackberrywhite]

Nothing wrong with your top choice. I think for most people, it's a matter of how old they are and which they saw first, the original or the remake. For me, I'm 36 now and was 9 when I saw the original for the first time back in 1995. A friend of mine talked me into watching it on an old homemade recorded VHS tape my dad kept in our basement among countless others, and I had no idea what it was about. Needless to say, I was totally caught off guard and it scared me shitless and I had nightmares about Leatherface for many years afterward. I saw the remake in theaters at 17, and while it definitely had its scary moments, I pretty much knew what to expect from the get go. It definitely ranks number 2 for me. The rest of your list is pretty much interchangeable. I was terrified to watch the second due to the severe trauma I experienced watching the original, and I was highly disappointed that it was more funny than scary. The only one I haven't seen yet is the newest one, but I'll check it out because I like to be thorough.

Cody it would be the most awesome thing if for March madness you made like a horror March madness bracket and found the winner of it. It could even have a debrief on autopstream if it was a group thing

Because Texas chainsaw massacre 3D was a huge disappointment respectfully..... this new leatherface 2022 is absolutely menacing brutal and makes all previous leatherface look soft.....except the original Gunnar Hansen R.I.P

[@clarissawestbrook2203]

I haven't seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 (1990), Texas Chainsaw Massacre the Next Generation (1995) or Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022). So excluding those movies my top three favorite from this franchise are 1) 2003 remake 2) 2006 prequel 3) Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D (2013). I'm not the biggest fan of the original even though I understand it's historical importance to horror movies or the direct sequel to it. Another nice ranking video Cody.

[@Xehanort10]

5:01 It would have been better if, when Heather found out she was a Sawyer she was told about all the people they'd killed and eaten and was horrified by it and she joined with the townspeople to finish what they started by killing Leatherface and avenging her friends. Instead they out of nowhere have the sheriff and his mayor dad want to kill Heather for being a Sawyer just to make them look evil and Leatherface look good.

What made the original the scariest is that there's less music which makes it seem so real

I think it’s so cool that we have the same story of the 2003 remake. That was the scariest theater experience I’ve ever had. I was 10, almost 11, when I saw this in theaters but no other horror movie before or after that I saw in theaters f*cked me up like this one did

[@fjunkmail22]

I recently watched TCM: The Next Generation and had to check Cody’s channel for a review. Thankfully he didn’t let me down. That movie was sooo BAD

[@Bit2brain]

Gotta give some credit to director Marcus Nispel. He hit home runs with both the TCM and Friday the 13th remakes.

[@paulmarion3013]

Texas chainsaw 3D is a guilty pleasure of mine. So bad it’s good.

[@KB-bh9hp]

Thanks to the fact that my parents used to have Comcast 🤮 and Comcast has some shitty free movies you can watch, I have a track record of seeing the original film, and then seeing the weirdest sequels afterwards. For instance, for the longest time, the only Halloween films I've ever watched were the original, and then I saw season of the witch with no context and was like, wtf is going on, love that movie now. Same thing happened with Texas Chainsaw, saw the original, then saw the 4th film on Comcast, again, not context, was like watching a beautiful trainwreck.
