Chainsaw-wielding maniac Leatherface (Bill Johnson) is up to his cannibalistic ways once again, along with the rest of his twisted clan, including the equally disturbed Chop-Top (Bill Moseley). This time, the masked killer has set his sights on pretty disc jockey Vanita Stretch Brock (Caroline Williams), who teams up with Texas lawman Lefty Enright (Dennis Hopper) to battle the psychopath and his family deep within their lair, a macabre abandoned amusement park.

Critics Consensus

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 shocks with a gonzo blend of over-the-top humor and gore, but without the tense atmosphere of its predecessor, the stakes feel lower.

2/5

No matter how adeptly Chainsaw 2 was put together, it would remain just another exploitation flick for fans who get a tingle from watching blades slash into flesh and innards peep out.

3/5

Gratuitously violent, and none too subtle (it lacks the subversive qualities of the original) it's also undeniably funny, maniacally energetic fare with a liberal smattering of enjoyable set-pieces.

It's bloody, witless and mind-numbing.

An entity of evil in the excellent original, Leatherface is transformed into a buffoon in this ham-fisted outing, to the point that Jerry Lewis should have been cast in the role.

If you're keen to check in on Leatherface without quite the isolated brutality of the original, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is a prime cut.

Entertaining. Over-the-top horror/comedy movie. This sequel is less serious and less scary than the first one. It's a gory madness. Popcorn film and great if you're in the mood for some slashing fun. If you can't stand the genre, this won't help you to like it, not even a bit.

This movie starts out with real steam and is delightfully bizarre, however the conclusion is about as interesting or scary as stale bread.

Watching this movie, it's very clear that Tobe Hooper had a serious drug problem.

This is one of the best, campy horror movies of all time. I loved everything about it from the wacky family to the over serious Dennis Hopper as the cop infiltrating the underground den of the cannibalistic family. It reminded of how much I enjoyed Return of the living dead. Both are great sequels. This movie is scary in parts and funny in other parts.
