Reviews for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation
Henkel penned the original Chainsaw and this effort shows that he still has a felicitous grasp of the things that cause us to shudder in dread.
01/01/00
Not just a complete failure as a sequel, it's one of the five or ten worst films from the whole of the 1990s.
06/23/08
For the most part you stare at the screen and wonder how anybody involved thought this could possibly have been any good.
08/03/07
The crux of this film's failure is its inexplicable attempt at campy humour and its incoherent ending.
01/01/00
Without much wit of its own, Kim Henkel's tyro film is just what the polished Scream makes fun of.
01/01/00
Top CriticTired and dated.
10/03/06
Its wretchedness is so complete it can't help but attract bad-movie addicts the way a dead skunk draws flies.
10/15/02
Passable -- and much better than its reputation.
04/15/04
The bottom line is that the only Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie that you need is to see is the first.
12/08/02
Actually a fairly serviceable slasher flick up until a head-scratching last fifteen minutes that introduces and then fails to explain a series of plainly stupid plot twists.
10/24/08
From electric cattle prods to human infernos, it's an tough, rough ride.
01/01/00
This pathetic, previously released cine-road kill was obviously only exhumed to cash in on some now-famous cast members.

Top CriticA cheap rip-off with a story and ending that made no f-ing sense!
07/22/05
Stick with the original and Chainsaw 2.
04/24/03
An A-list cast wallowing in grade-Z material
06/03/03
I thought this was crazy fun, minus the metal music.
