Surely one of the oddest sequels of all time, Tobe Hooper’s decade-late followup is worlds away from his somber, genre-shaking 1974 debut… but it’s somehow just as terrifying, and twice as unhinged. The saw is family!

Chainsaw-wielding maniac Leatherface (Bill Johnson) is up to his cannibalistic ways once again, along with the rest of his twisted clan, including the equally disturbed Chop-Top (Bill Moseley). This time, the masked killer has set his sights on pretty disc jockey Vanita Stretch Brock (Caroline Williams), who teams up with Texas lawman Lefty Enright (Dennis Hopper) to battle the psychopath and his family deep within their lair, a macabre abandoned amusement park.

“Gratuitously violent, and none too subtle (it lacks the subversive qualities of the original) it’s also undeniably funny, maniacally energetic fare with a liberal smattering of enjoyable set-pieces.” – BBC
