Running Time: 101 minutes
Thirteen years after
the horrific events of the first film, Leatherface and his cannibalistic family
are at it again, causing mayhem. After two high school seniors and brutally
murdered, former Texas Ranger Boude “Lefty” Enright, Sally and Franklin Hardesty’s
uncle, comes to town to investigate. Radio DJ Vanita “Stretch” Brock gets
involved and is captured by Leatherface and his clan. Lefty will come to the
rescue, with his own chainsaw in hand.
Bluntly put, this
sequel sucked all the greatness out of the original. It is as if Tobe Hooper
was so disgusted by what he made that he wanted to destroy it. There is no work
on setting a mood and an atmosphere for horror. It is all about blood and guts
and screaming. The acting is bad, real bad. It is as if Dennis Hopper has no
idea what he is supposed to be doing here. The story goes nowhere, and, in the
end, one just cannot wait for it all to be over. It has been said that this was
meant to be a black comedy. Should have told me before, because, as the cliché
goes, I forgot to laugh.
