Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

Going along with the fear and contoversey the first one produced, a sequel was made. Although not gritty like the first one, this film obviously has a higher budget. The gore is great in this film. Also there is more humor in this film compared to the very little in the first film. The first time that I saw this film was a while ago on channel WGTW48 in New Jersey, although much of the gore was cut out, it still sent chills up and down my spine. The main thing that freaked me out was the underground labyrinth that the family lives in now. Still to this day this film is scary to watch. I guess it must be the atmosphere of the film. The storyline is pretty believeable and not too far out there. The family is the same people as in the first film. But there is a major, but funny change in one of the characters for this film. If you haven't seen the end of the first film you wouldn't know what I mean.

The film opens with the same scary guy at the beginning of the film describing the story of this film. After that we are shown two college kids riding on a stretch of highway shooting things. The then call the local radio station and refuse to hang up. They play chicken with a truck that drives by. SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT. The truck swings back around and follows them. It starts to get late and they call the station again and again refuse to hang up. Well, the truck driver isn't too pleased and ends up killing them. The radio station ends up recording their demise. Well the woman ends up meeting up with the sheriff and they plan how to capture this crazed family. The sheriff makes this personal because his son was Franklin the invalid (who also makes a cameo, he has lost some weight too :) )

Some funny parts in this film include when Leatherface and Choptop go into the radio station to make them stop playing the recording of the kids dying. "So this is where you keep the golden oldies". Another funny part is when their dad wins the Texas chili contest, using some "good meat."
