A plle of steaming something coming out of Texas
3 October 2017
This movie was on Tubi and I clicked on it mistakenly thinking it was the 2003 remake, which is actually quite good. Realizing my mistake, I went ahead to see what this movie had to offer. It starts off with a rehash of scenes from the mid 70s movie that show all the carnage at the very end.

Guess what? This sequel tries to make some cockamamie story about how that blonde girl who got away in the pickup truck called the cops on the people in the Chainsaw House and what happened after that. THEN, once that gets resolved within five minutes, the action jumps ahead to the present day, 2012.

I'll spare you any more details because honestly, this movie isn't worth the time or effort. There is a whole new troupe of attractive young people who get caught in the clutches of a 21st century chainsaw killer. It's so badly directed and acted it would almost be laughable if it weren't so obvious they were trying to make a serious movie.

Think of this in the same way as the effect that "Batman and Robin" had on the Batman franchise before Christopher Nolan rebooted it 10 years later. Well, maybe it isn't such a good comparison because "Batman and Robin" is high cinematic art compared to this big pile of steaming Texas meadow patty.
