US horror sequel directed by Tobe Hooper. This time around the action focuses on Texas Ranger Lofty Enright (Dennis Hopper), a man obsessed with finding the lunatic murderers of his brother's kids. When he hears that DJ Vantia Block (Caroline Williams) has a recording of a chainsaw attack made when Leatherface (Bill Johnson) and his pals descended upon a caller during a radio phone-in, he tries to persuade her to use the recording to lure the killers out into the open.
She agrees, but neither DJ nor Ranger are quite prepared for the madness they are about to encounter.
*** Critic Reviews For The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 ***
- " Everything is heightened in Chainsaw 2, the gore gorier, the performances, broader, the music synth-ier. " – Charles Webb , MTV
- " f you like your horror funny and aren't too squeamish – say, you're a big fan of Re-Animator or … Evil Dead 2 – then Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 will be right up your alley. " –
Austin Trunick , Under the Radar
- " TCM 2 works because it's a complete original. You never know from minute to minute where it's going to go, and that unpredictability keeps you riveted for every single second. " –
