I haven't seen the movie, but I can't imagine there was much worse in it than that welcome to Texas part.
Not sure how they did it this time around, but making Leatherface sympathetic while still being scary was one of the things the sequels in the original run got right, IMO.

The entire f***ing movies because for a film that shithouse its downright impossible to narrow it down to what is the worst thing.

Everything listed above was bad but I voted for trying to make Leather a sympathetic character. He was already a mass-murderer before the redneck posse burned the house down. Loved how the "heroine" quickly forgot how Leather butchered her friends and tried to butcher her and was OK with him because she found-out he's family and he's loyal to family. If I was one of those friends I'd spend every ghostly moment haunting her ass.

That bugged the shit out of me.

Definitely the timeline and lack of quirks Leatherface had in the first one.

True Detective got what this movie needed. That damn shirt was clinging on for dear life. Yeah that was industrial strength double sided tape or something! Thank God for True Detective!

I watched True Detective like "Well if she didn't show them in Chainsaw she's not gonna....OH WOW!"
Also "Do your thing Cuz" and how was a vigilante mob that killed a group of mass murdering cannibals the bad guys?

The main girl, in the span of like five minutes, went from "THIS CRAZED MANIAC IS TRYING TO KILL ME WITH A CHAINSAW!!!" to "Do your thang, Cuz."
THIS. MOVIE. HAPPENED.

Ooooh, that movie... it truly is a rarity to see a mainstream, big-budget film be that hilariously and surrealistically bad. I honestly don't think the thread's creator should have allowed us to pick every choice because I originally wanted to pick just the worst parts and ended up picking almost everything. I don't even like te original all that much but even I was amazed at how much the people who made this film just did not get what made The Texas Chainsaw Massacre what it was. I think I'll just made a list of everything that made my jaw drop in disbelief:
- Using footage from the original in the opening credit, which would have been a good idea if they didn't inexplicably edit it to have jump scares that weren't there.
- Trying to make it a direct sequel to the original by setting it right after the girl form the original escapes, only for most characters in the house to be completely new ones who have f***-all to do with the original.
- Trying to make it look like the cannibal family were the good guys. Look, I don't approve of mob violence or petty revenge but I'm not going to cry over the deaths of people who killed and ate hundreds of innocent people.
- Trying to make us feel sorry for Leatherface for similar reasons. Just because someone's been a dick to you doesn't absolve you of your own crimes.
- The complete clusterf*** that is the continuity as evets that are supposed to be taking place about 40 years later look like they're only taking place a decade later. Hurray for babies born in 1973 being 20 in 2013!
- Our "heroes" blindly trusting a hitch-hiker with their newly acquired mansion.
- The absurd amount of jump scares. Why is it till a thing? Why do film makers not realize this isn't scary at all? Why don't they realize it's the horror equivalent of a laugh track?! WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP FALLING FOR THEM?!! WWHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???!!!!!
- The pendant bullshit which, again, wasn't in the original yet this movie which claims to be "the first direct sequel" to the original, now claims it was.
- The dialogue, especially the aforementioned "Do your thing, Cuz!" and "Welcome to Texas, Motherf***er!" (the latter one being said by someone who isn't from Texas to someone who is).
- Not a single character except maybe Kenny is likeable. A special mention goes to the utterly pointless subplot of Heather's boyfriend cheating on her with her "best friend" which has no payoff and seems to only exist to make sure you're glad to see them die.
- How does no-one but a couple characters know Leatherface is in the basement? And if the guy who hand heather the key to the mansion knew he was there, why didn't he bring it up to Heather and WHY DIDN'T HE CALL THE POLICE?!! All of this could have been avoided had this character not been such an idiot!
- The windshield decapitation. How on Earth is that supposed to work?
- The sheriff's "I'll allow it!" attitude to Leatherface a cannibal serial killer murdering the mayor.
- The mayor deciding to kill Heather because he inexplicably assumes that her being related to the Sawyers will somehow turn her into a psycho killer as well.
- The fact that he turns out to be RIGHT.
- The horrible, horrible CGI for the mayor's death. Look, if that's the best you can do, just use a cut-away and let the audience's imagination do the work.
- The fact that the mayor decides A MEAT GRINDER is the safest place to escape from Leatherface.
- No-one in the fair reacting to Leatherface chasing Heather. Okay, I might buy that people would assume this was an act at first but there's a point when it becomes obvious that something's not right, here.
- The countless "this will look great in 3D!" shots. Or as I like to call them, "this will look like shit in 2D!". Ah, who am I kidding? It looked like shit in 3D as well.
