<\/a><\/p>\nA group of teenagers get into a car crash in the Texas woods on prom night, and then wander into an old farmhouse that is home to Leatherface and his insane family of cannibalistic psychopaths.<\/h3>\nThis film is where the franchise truly nose dived. Carrying on from the previous film but with a new cast. Don’t let the awesome poster fool you, this film is the weakest of the entire franchise.<\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/22-e1340637557165.jpg?resize=500%2C434\" "\\"2\\"")
<\/a><\/h3>\nWith this instalment they tried to recapture the magic of the original \u201cThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre\u201d, sadly they fell far from the mark and were given a badly acted, badly wrote, badly directed film. It’s no wonder this film is Kim Henkels only film he ever directed but it’s hard to process the fact he wrote most of the franchise’s films. The films famous for featuring a young\u00a0Ren\u00e9e Zellweger and\u00a0Matthew McConaughey.<\/h3>\nNow I must admit that I am not a fan of either and this film showcases some of my reasons why. With\u00a0McConaughey we’re given his usual over-acting and he is just horrible at trying to play the bad guy.\u00a0With Zellwegger playing her stereotypical “Oh woah is me” character, she’s bland and you just can’t relate to her at all. It’s hard for me to see why these two actors are now paid millions to star in films yet there acting abilities haven’t changed.<\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/33-e1340639678302.jpg?resize=500%2C405\" "\\"3\\"")
<\/a><\/h3>\nWe also see the film try to incorporate the comedy aspect of \u00a0\u201cThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2\u201d and once again it doesn’t deliver at all. The stand out moment being\u00a0the scene when Renee and Matthew are battling over the remote that controls Matthew’s piston powered leg, yes you read that right. It’s not funny at all and worst of all it’s just a cringe worthy scene to watch, It’s not even a “so bad it’s funny” scene, just straight forward bad.<\/h3>\nI must bring up the subject of Leatherface here as-well.\u00a0One of the biggest problems that people have with this film is that Leatherface seems to have become a transvestite. I have no problem with this, my problem is that Henkel is trying to make Leatherface too complex. We know Leatherface is a disturbed person, we all know his characteristics and what he’s capable of, don’t try to go deep in-to his psyche and then leave scratching our heads wondering “What the hell?”<\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/42-e1340640534500.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" "\\"4\\"")
<\/a><\/h3>\nThere’s no scares, no humour, basically nothing entertaining. I re-watched this film for this review after not watching it for many years.
