NETFLIX Tobe Hooper’s 1974 original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was so effective not because it was a gnarly bloodbath – only one victim actually gets a saw in the guts – but because of its dead-eyed, cold-blooded cruelty. It’s a film that gazes into the face of insanity, with a killer who’s an emotional void. This latest revival – the ninth instalment, somehow – has other ideas.
