The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a 2027 American psychological slasher horror film directed by Mike Flanagan and written by David Fincher and Jordan Peele. Produced by Blumhouse Productions and distributed by Universal Pictures, it is the tenth overall installment in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise and the second reboot of the 1974 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. A modern and realistic retelling of the original film's story, the film stars Ella Purnell as Sally Hardesty and Vincent D'Onofrio as Leatherface; like the original films and the first reboot, it follows Sally and four other young adults who stumble across Leatherface and his family of cannibalistic murderers and eventually try to escape their home. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre had its world premiere at the 84th Venice International Film Festival on September 6th, 2027, and was released theatrically on October 19th; the film received generally positive reviews, with critics calling it a return to form and praising its performances, characters, scares and violent kills, though some of them criticized its longer runtime of 150 minutes compared to previous films. Audiences lauded the fan service, such as casting D'Onofrio as the central villain, a fan favorite, and for revamping the story. It was a financial success, grossing $471 million, becoming the highest-grossing film of the series. A sequel is in development with Purnell and D'Onofrio set to return.
