Storyline
A group of teenagers go camping in a remote town in “The Last Chainsaw Massacre,” only to discover a real-life version of a local legend. They are terrorized throughout their stay by a deranged killer known as the Chainsaw Man, who is dressed in human flesh and wields a blood-soaked chainsaw. Dark secrets about the town and its unsettling past are revealed to the group as they make desperate attempts to flee and survive. Simple survival horror and close calls with the antagonist brandishing a chainsaw are the main plot points. Although it promises to deliver classic slasher thrills, critics have criticized its execution for being formulaic and devoid of novel twists.

Reviews
Reviews of “The Last Chainsaw Massacre” were divided among reviewers and viewers. This film, which was written and directed by Mark Polonia, is a contemporary slasher movie with a throwback to vintage horror elements. The film centers on a group of teenagers who come across The Chainsaw Man, a psychotic killer, while camping in a remote town.

Box-Office Collection:
“The Last Chainsaw Massacre” performed poorly at the box office because of its restricted theatrical run and streaming service debut. Considering its specialized genre and marketing approach, the movie’s first-run box office receipts of about $1.8 million indicate a modest return. Despite not seeing much commercial success, it has gained more viewers since its streaming debut on sites like Fawesome.
