It's certainly a cut above the standard late-'80s horror film, though hardly up to the level of Tobe Hooper's original.

Taken as a separate entity, this is a competently packaged horror movie that plays by the rules and delivers what the title promises: sadistic killers, whimpering victims, and chainsaws.

The blade is dull, but there's just enough to make it worth watching.

A failed attempt by New Line to reinvent the titular chainsawer into a Freddy Krueger-style villain.

It's really just another generic slasher flick with nothing beyond the Leatherface connection to recommend it to discerning fans.
