Very best movie i ever watch
Must See Movie...
Admirable film.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
A radio host is victimized by the cannibal family as a former Texas Marshall hunts them. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 feels like a shadow of the first film. It literally starts quite dumb with this 2 guys having fun on the road and then Leatherface appears out of nowhere like he was waiting for something and is dressed like a ghost or something and from that scene alone you understand what this movie is going to be. Way over the top, silly and just stupid with lots of comedy plus what the hell was wrong with the poster? It looks stupid. (0/10)
Dear Rob Zombie, I bet you were inspired by the antics of the redneck characters in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 when you wrote House of 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects. You made a truly great work of art with the Devil's Rejects. In its own way, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is also a great work of art. The nihilism of the psychopathic redneck family grates on your nerves after a while. Dennis Hopper appears and disappears. His alcoholic cop character deserved more space. Caroline Williams was easy on the eyes. It was too gross for a mainstream American film. I was not offended by the gluttony which the villains indulged in. But it did seem like the Tobe Hopper got carried away by the schlock. Not that it wasn't amusing. Bill Moseley was hilarious when he first confronts Caroline Williams. The two loud party goers were quite amusing and their make up was creative. The film's set design deserves special mention. Rob, you borrowed the worst attributes of this film and made a damn good movie with The Devil's Rejects.Best Regards, Pimpin.(7/10)
OK, let me start out with saying the theatrical poster was a PARODY of the theatrical poster of "The Breakfast Club". That right there should've been a heads-up that this film didn't take itself very seriously. That being said this is one of the single funniest/creepiest films I've ever seen. No other film that I've seen balances that line so well. The scene in the radio station has a jump-scare that still gets me after seeing this film countless times. Chop-Top (Bill Moseley) has some of the funniest lines I've ever seen in a horror movie during this scene. Jim Siedow is great as the Cook. Dennis Hopper's performance is so over-the-top you have to realize this was done on purpose. Caroline Williams is GREAT as Stretch, the radio DJ that is being stalked by the Sawyer family after some bad timing. The climax is so intense, yet so ridiculous, it has to be seen to be believed. Seriously, if you're into campy horror films you can't just watch this film once. Tobe Hooper hit a home run with this one.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) ** 1/2 (out of 4)A former Texas Ranger (Dennis Hopper) sets out to bring down Leatherface (Bill Johnson) and his family of cannibals and seeks the help of a radio host (Caroline Williams) who happened to catch one murder on tape. Soon the host finds herself being held by the cannibal family and gaining the affections of Leatherface.THE Texas CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 is probably one of the most hated sequels in the history of cinema. It was released with a lot of hype but pretty much died at the box office and it got a beating from fans and critics. Those expecting anything like the original are bound to be disappointed but once you accept that this is more of a comedy than a horror film and you view it on its own merits, the film really isn't all that bad. It's certainly an incredibly flawed film but at the same time I respect director Tobe Hooper for trying something different.When you get down to it, this here is basically just a remake of the first film but done in a tongue-in-cheek way. The film's incredibly troubled production has been discussed to death but the budget was cut and apparently Hooper's vision was for something much bigger but we can only judge what's here. I think the biggest problem with the movie is the fact that it runs way too long with the "climax" of the picture clocking in at over a hour. I'm going to guess that there was a lot more character build up planned for the Hopper character. Speaking of Hopper, the film does benefit from a colorful cast and some interesting characters. Hopper manages to turn in a good performance, although he doesn't seem too thrilled to be appearing in a movie like this. Williams is certainly delightful as the radio host and there's no question that her personality is one of a kind. Lou Perry is exceptionally funny and memorable in his role. Jim Siedow is fun in his return and Bill Moseley is memorable as well. Bill Johnson can't match the original Leatherface but then again he really wasn't asked to. He's good in the part when you consider what Hooper was going for.The film also benefits from some great special effects from Tom Savini and there's no question that Hooper builds up a rather interesting atmosphere. Again, this film tried for something big and original and while, in the end, it failed, there's still no question that you've got to respect Hooper for trying something different instead of just delivering the same type of film as the first.
