Summary
A young woman inherits a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew, traveling there with friends to claim the property. She soon discovers the house comes with a disturbing legacy tied to the Sawyer family and the chainsaw-wielding killer Leatherface, forcing her to confront buried truths about her own bloodline.
Released in 2013, Texas Chainsaw is a crime, drama and horror film.
13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1,603 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 290 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 299 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Texas Chainsaw lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 290.
