Reviews for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
A good deal gorier and more disturbing than the original. Certainly it's far better than the soulless 2003 remake.
11/18/08
A ripe and wicked horror-comedy, as black as pitch and every bit as violent as naysayers mistakenly accused the first film of being.

There is absolutely nothing to distract us from the sheer misery of watching oblivious clowns cracking awful jokes.

Society is restored as before, but it's a society based on victims and victimizers. De Sade rewrites Darwin.

...if nothing else, the entire flick may be worth a look for the absurd moment in which Leatherface breaks loose with a particularly apt example of the ol' shifty eye.
10/23/06
The film feels as if Hooper himself has nothing but contempt for the original and went out of his way to tear it down.

It's all good as long as you consider it a blacker than black comedy (and not a horror movie).

Irresistibly demented.

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.
05/21/03
The most tedious crapfest I've sat through in a while. Annoying characters who never shut up. Even some amusing moments with Hopper can't save it.
03/25/03
This movie is a great, big mess.
12/08/02
Tobe Hooper's biting satire of the Reagan years done up as a very graphic horror film
