| Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2: Sex is like nothing else, but the saw, the saw is FAMILY. by Noah X |
| Well, I�ve just finished watching the second Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Overall, it was as good, or better, than the first. The basic storyline is simple. Family of chainsaw-wielding cannibals kills people. They kill a sheriff�s cousin�s kids. Sheriff becomes enraged and spends the next 12 years searching for them. He finds them in north Texas, where a local DJ is �lucky� enough to get one of their murders on audio. He convinces her to play it on the air, she, not knowing better, does so. Soon, the cannibals are after her. I won�t tell you the ending, but I will go over a few little things that make this movie great. The DJ, Stretch, is a fool. After their first encounter, Leatherface chooses to spare her life (after a frightening pseudo-sexual episode). Then she chases after him. Why would anyone feel the need to pointlessly endanger themselves? Then again, she also tries to reason with a guy wearing a mask made of human skin. I don�t know, maybe it�s a chick thing� Speaking of Leatherface (and pseudo-sexual scenes involving Stretch), he appears to be having some� performance issues. Then, there�s the scene where he spends a good 2 � minutes sawing ice and pop cans. Or the scene where he thrusts suggestively with a chainsaw. Note to self: threatening girls with chainsaws turns them on. Next, we have Lefty, the �noble� sheriff. He decides to use chainsaws to hunt these psychos. I don�t know, personally, I probably would want guns, but hey, if he wants to be an idiot, he can go right ahead and prove that Texans are actually DUMBER than they look. Finally, there�s the scene involving a naked (mostly) skinless man that ends in a surprisingly touching moment. And in the end, madness reigns supreme. |
