    Gory, graphic, gruesome and bloody hilarious, director Jeff Burr's second sequel to Tobe Hooper's classic gut-wrencher combines the suffocating atmosphere of the original with the razor-sharp black comedy of Hooper's second reworking. Kate Hodge and William Butler are the ingenuous tourists who this time take a backwoods detour and end up being prospective sausage filler thanks to Leatherface and his splatter happy family of cannibals. More provocative and taboo-busting than the first two entries in the censor-upsetting series, strong stomachs are a requirement for the tense grip this powerful charnel house of extreme horror exerts.

    The best chainsaw sequel ever!

    This is my favourite of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Films.

    This movie has tons of gore, horror and violence centred around a plot involving a lost woman and a man who are aided by a hitchhiker and a survivalist as they are pursued into a marshy forest which is the home of a family of cannibalistic serial killers.

    This is the best sequel ever! This movie will make you jump and scream.

    I think this movie is made even more especially good as it has Ken Foree from the original Dawn of the Dead starring in it!

    I also recommend the Original Uncut Version of Dawn Of The Dead I think these have got to be the best two films ever made!

    Not bad but not enough gore

    As a fan of the original and the re-make I rented this film in order to give the others a bit of continuity! I needn't have bothered, maybe I expected too much from this little film . However I found this it very tame and I was for ever screaming at the tv, don't cut away the shot, I want to see what happens next!! As a slasher type movie it wasn't the worst that I have seen but it so often is the case in films from this genre and period of time (1990) it was very slow and if it hadn't have been for the presence of the lovely Viggo Mortinsen - from Lord of the Rings in his camp role then I think I mght have given up half way through. Never mind, as long as people are making horror films there are going to be the good and not so good. Watch it then you decide which one this falls into, but if you are intent on watching all the films related to Leatherface give this one a go, if only to say you have seen it, because most people I have spoken to didn't even know it existed.
