Reviews for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation
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
The crux of this film's failure is its inexplicable attempt at campy humour and its incoherent ending.
01/01/00
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
Recommended for viewers who haven't enough fear, stress, violence or ugliness in their lives.
06/05/02
Its wretchedness is so complete it can't help but attract bad-movie addicts the way a dead skunk draws flies.

07/09/03
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
This pathetic, previously released cine-road kill was obviously only exhumed to cash in on some now-famous cast members.

For the most part you stare at the screen and wonder how anybody involved thought this could possibly have been any good.

The bottom line is that the only Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie that you need is to see is the first.
12/08/02
Passable -- and much better than its reputation.
04/15/04
From electric cattle prods to human infernos, it's an tough, rough ride.
01/01/00
I thought this was crazy fun, minus the metal music.
12/24/02
An A-list cast wallowing in grade-Z material
06/03/03
Stick with the original and Chainsaw 2.
