Not just a complete failure as a sequel, it's one of the five or ten worst films from the whole of the 1990s.

For the most part you stare at the screen and wonder how anybody involved thought this could possibly have been any good.

A cheap rip-off with a story and ending that made no f-ing sense!

Passable -- and much better than its reputation.

McConaughey's over-the-top performance is brilliant, but not a single person actually gets killed with a chainsaw.

A hoot to see Matt and Renee, but none of the thrills of the original. Not scary or fun.

The bottom line is that the only Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie that you need is to see is the first.

Its wretchedness is so complete it can't help but attract bad-movie addicts the way a dead skunk draws flies.

Recommended for viewers who haven't enough fear, stress, violence or ugliness in their lives.
