A bad movie

To be honest, I had some rather low expectations about this sequel but I thought I might as well check it out anyway. Well, eventually, I really didn’t care much for the damned thing, that’s for sure. Seriously, as far as I was concerned, it felt as if Tobe Hooper had been forced to come up with a sequel for his classic horror film and therefore had decided to completely botched the damned thing. However, it wasn’t apparently the case as, in fact, according to Hooper, the really weird black humor was actually already present in the previous installment, it’s just that we didn’t notice it back then because of all the horror going on. Anyway, this sequel was basically some kind of rather weird feverish nightmare and, I know, I make it now sound more appealing than it actually was. Sure, there was some slaughtering going on but, eventually, not that much. Instead, you get a succession of scenes which barely made sense with some lame jokes every 2 minutes. For some reason, there was also Dennis Hopper involved who got in a chainsaw fight with Leatherface and, yes, it was as pathetic as it might sound. By the way, they didn’t even make an effort to make Leatherface look at least a little bit similar to what he looked like in the previous movie but even his behavior was not consistent either. I mean, why would he spare that girl? Because he was falling in love? Come on, give me a break… Even their hideout was completely ridiculous and didn’t make much sense. Anyway, to conclude, it has been a while since I have seen such a disappointing sequel and I don’t think it is worth a look whatsoever.
