In 1974, Tobe Hooper quite literally changed the face of horror with his landmark film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Although the hulking Leatherface and his trusty power tool left an indelible mark upon the cinematic landscape, it wouldn't be until 1986 that the buzz came back... in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2!
Relocating the cannibalistic Sawyer clan to a cavernous, labyrinthian dwelling beneath an amusement park, Hooper's deliciously demented sequel sees Leatherface and Co. continue their murderous exploits afresh. This time around, local DJ Stretch runs afoul of the Sawyers when she gets mixed up in the brutal slaying of two youngsters. Meanwhile, Lieutenant 'Lefty' Enright, is hell- bent on avenging the murder of his nephew Franklin, who perished in the original massacre.
A cult classic in its own right, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 serves up a heady blend of gratuitous gore, socio-political critique and jet-black humour - whilst Dennis Hopper's unhinged turn as Lefty needs to be seen to be believed! Whichever way you skin it, Leatherface's second cinematic outing is an uncompromisingly delirious vision from one of the masters of horror.

This is a pretty underrated film very fun doesn't take itself to seriously and this arrow Release is incredible great special features and it just looks amazing if you like collecting movies this is a good one to add to the collection also thanks to zavvi for the great service much appreciated
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is an alright film. By itself it would probably seem a bit better, and it has some good things going for it. Any fans of Tom Savini and his practical effects will certainly get something out of it. However, the film is never more than good, and when compared to the greatness of the original it just seems a bit weak and unnecessary. Great service from Zavvi though—fast delivery in perfect condition.
Yes It's more comedy than the first and less dark but the underlying love of the first is bursting with flavor here. The insanity is pushed to it's limits and by the gods is it fun to see the insanity the family goes through and does. It's a fun different film compared to the first. But thats what makes it so good it stands on it's own as it's own beast but also continues on from the OG film. Be open to it and it will return the favor
