Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

Pros: Great production design, good gore from Savini
Cons: absurd ending, is far too campy as a whole

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2: Cannon Films/ Anchor Bay Entertainment
Rating: USA: R/ UK: 18/ Australia: Banned/R

After the phenomenal success of Tobe Hooper’s 1974 exploitation masterpiece, The Texas Chainsaw...

Pros: It's very entertaining, a bit stylish and a whole lot funnier than others.
Cons: The final set of scenes, Dennis Hopper.

In my search for the perfect Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I haven't come yet to a conclusion. Part 2 has always stuck with me since I saw it when I was a kid. I had a soft spot in my heart for it. Why at such at a young age would I watch so ghastly ...

Pros: Dennis Hopper is pretty cool, pretty fun
Cons: Needed more Hopper, was a little stupid I guess, too different from original

Is it just me or are all of the Texas Chainsaw sequels a little lame? Unlike other mainstays in the horror genre, I'm not a big fan of the inbred/deformed villains and while the original Chainsaw was pretty rocking, lightning never struck twice with this ...

Pros: Utterly, utterly demented.
Cons: Has a lot to live up to and sadly never really manages it.

The most surprising thing about this 1986 sequel is that after twelve years there's still plenty of gas left in the chainsaw. Returning director Tobe Hooper gleefully fires up The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Part 2 and lets it roar for well over an hour ...

Pros: Bill Moseley's the man, Dennis Hopper fights the clan, the splatter hits the fan.
Cons: The movie is a bit too outrageous and doesn't shred the nerves that much.

"After more than a decade of silence, the buzz is back," heralds the tagline for THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 (Cannon Films; unrated, but contains graphic violence, language and sexual content; 100 mins.; released August 22, 1986). In 1974, ...

Pros: Acting, gore, funny.
Cons: it could have been more scary

I rented this movie thinking it would suck, but it was actually, one of my favorite horror movie, this could very well be even better than the first. It sure is scarier, but like most of Tobe Hooper's movies there is no T&A! It does not bother me too ...

Pros: Extremely scary, acting, plot, special effects, emotional side of Leatherface
Cons: new Leatherface actor, some scenes similar to the first

I loved the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and I thought it was an amazingly horrifying movie. While I scanned the shelves at Rogers, I noticed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. I decided to get it; it was directed by Tobe Hooper, who had directed ...

Pros: Truly demented performances, great dialogue, amazing set design
Cons: Brain-dead ending

After helming two motion pictures ("Lifeforce" and "Invaders from Mars") for Cannon, Tobe Hooper was permitted to complete his three-movie contract by directing a sequel to his iconic horror film. Eager to defy expectations, dissatisfied with the general ...

Pros: New and extended characters make this movie a good pic.
Cons: The movie is too long and gets too unrealistic at points.

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" is a worthwhile sequel in its purest form. While it may stray far from the original, this movie has more laughs and more of every character you've come to enjoy... Including Grampa. More cannibalism endures as one of Lea ...

Pros: Very funny, yet scary enough to keep you on edge.
Cons: Much more blood, and not as terrifying as the original.

Nubbins rocks.

Anywhoo, everyone's favorite skin-clad chainsaw-jockey is back, and he has himself a little lady that I reckon he's taken a real shine to.

In this installment of "Sawin' With the Sawyers", Dennis Hopper is a...

Pros: some decent one-liners
Cons: bad plots, bad acting, bad script, very predictable and dull, no suspense or drama

You know I like slasher movies as much as the next person. For every good one there are six or seven bad ones yet there are some good slasher flicks--those that give you a chill or make you consider how lucky you are that you're not being chased by a...

Pros: Dennis Hopper's hilarious and over-the-top performance. Sick humor.
Cons: Too excessive for some people.

This film, along with Lifeforce and the awful remake of Invaders from Mars, pretty much ended Tobe Hooper's directing career. After a promising start that included the first Chainsaw Massacre, Funhouse, Eaten Alive and Poltergeist, Tobe (in many people's...

Pros: great story, great stunts, great action, great graphics, great dialogue, well-developed characters
Cons: not for those who don't like gore and graphic violence

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2" is an updated sequel with more better cameraing, film quality, film editing, higher budget, and a much more complete story. The characters were also much better developed with much better dialogue as well as...

Pros: Great F/X; bizarre imagery; some decent acting
Cons: Way too weird and funny for it's own good

After the success of the low budget 1974 horror film "The
Texas Chainsaw Massacre", a sequel seemed to be in order. I
mean, it was a mega hit and cost nothing to produce, so why
wouldn't greed obsessed producers churn out a sequel to make...

Pros: Good chainsaw action!
Cons: Not long enough

I'm accused of being sick and twisted. I admit it but I can't help loving this movie! It's been ten years since the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre erupted on the screen. Unlike most sequels, this movie is more intense and entertaining than the first...
