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.

New York Times

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.

Rated: 2/5

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

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.

If you don’t want your Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies to end with a chainsaw fight, you should get checked out.

Gone With The Twins

The chainsaw brood has become bumbling, incompetent, and laughable, focused intently on sudden scenes of intense brutality rather than the careful building of dread.

This sequel is quite different than original chainsaw massacre but with dark humor and unbelievable gore effects by Tom Savini and audiences may not enjoy it but is way better than the following sequels including the horrible Netflix sequel and to all chainsaw man fan out there there's a lot of chainsaw actions.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Sinceramente, es horrible; la trama es mala, los actores son malisimos, Leatherface se enamora de una superviviente (WTF), intentaron revivir escenas, pero no les salió muy bien (en especial la del final cuando la chica coje la motosierra para hacer como Leatherface, eso me dio mucho cringe), etc. Le doy 1.5 estrellas y no 1 porque me gusta como se ve físicamente Leatherface y creo que el abulo está mejor conseguido, por todo lo demás es horrible.

The Texas chainsaw massacre 2 isn't really funny and it's downright laughable at sometimes and the acting is a bit off in some places but when it isn't it's stunning. With an amazing start and ending the Texas chainsaw massacre 2 is a worthy sequel.

This movie just wasn't good on any level. It tried to be a horror/comedy but it just came out stupid. The first one was a classic that didn't need a Part 2 and they should have left it alone.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

It's horrible. Whereas the original was also disturbing, it was done from a creative perspective. This film reduced the original into a silly, obscene, caricature of itself.
