'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning' Is One of the Smartest Horror Films I’ve Seen Like all great works of art, 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning' is full of details to which fans repeatedly return.

The 2003-06 "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" movies, when watched chronologically, speak to me deeply.

Why not run with that for a little while?

An explosive Epstein claim predates Trump by a year: Author President Donald Trump’s first lady, Melania Trump, issued an unexpected public statement on Thursday about her relationship with the late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — and one journalist has...

Melania Trump's unexpected Thursday speech on Jeffrey Epstein got waaaaaay more eyeballs than her "Melania" documentary.

The 2003 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' Remake Is Better Than Tobe Hooper's Classic Writer Matthew Rozsa pens a bold take– 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' remake is better than Tobe Hooper's original.

When I watch the 2003 version of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," I feel fear from the first frame.

Isn't that what you want from true horror?

MAGA Christians unleash unintentionally hilarious Ben Franklin film I recommend “A Great Awakening” to those who laugh at cringe-y Christian Right propaganda.

"A Great Awakening" is a bad faith film, a Trojan horse of Christian nationalist propaganda packed inside as a supposedly poignant tribute to two 18th century luminaries.
