Wayne K The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of my favourite films of all time, and an undisputed horror classic. To hear that the sequel went down the black comedy route is a bit jarring, but with the right script and approach it could have worked, sadly, this film has neither. It’s 5 minutes of jokes stretched to an hour and 40 minutes, replete with cartoonish antics, previously brutal and terrifying killers reduced to utter buffoons with no payoff, good actors embarrassing themselves and so much screaming. I get the film was trying to be some sort of parody of 80s slasher films, but it’s a bad parody, so overdone and ridiculous that it’s more of a parody of itself. The Sawyer family are horribly overindulged this time, especially the father, who dominates the screen with his inane ramblings and unfunny mugging. It’s a film that tries to wring humour out of characters talking a lot and yelling most of their lines and none of it works. I maybe laughed a few times, but as the film went on I got increasingly more irritated, and so little thought has gone into the structure and execution of the story that there are logical and narrative inconsistencies all over the place. For me it was an exasperating experience, an unfunny comedy that tries too hard to make a joke out of everything. So much so that, ironically, the biggest joke ends up being the film itself.

Scary movie and I like the mask of the killer but I know it looks weird but only in my opinion Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review Josh H Mockery of American culture is more musical, cynical, humorous, explicit, and imaginative than the first. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/30/25 Full Review chris m better to take a step back instead of pushing forward in that direction? lefty’s character is written so over the top that it borders on caricature. the radio station sequence is some of the most absurd and unnecessary stuff i’ve seen, even more so than the infamous tornado scene in man of steel. and the hammer scene… it’s hard to take seriously. that said, the makeup and costume design are definite highlights, giving the film that gritty, grotesque style the series thrives on. leatherface is well portrayed, though chop top truly steals the show. the problem is that the movie as a whole feels like gum stretched way too far, losing much of the tension a slasher should have. still, there are interesting visual and thematic ideas, especially in the final act, that capture the mental and psychotic decay of its characters. and the ending, while strange, adds a touch that completes the protagonist’s arc.
