Fear Flashbacks! – A particularly dismissive review of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE PART 2 (1986)

Ya know, I still don’t know why critics even bother reviewing slasher films. They all hate them and we horror fans have never given two shits about what they say. Case in point is today’s post from when the sequel to Tobe Hooper’s drive-in classic surfaced in theaters courtesy of Cannon Films.

Hell, I’ll be the first to admit that this film doesn’t hold a candle to the original, but is anyone so badly ego formed that they’ll actually put stock into a single movie review? Ultimately, it’s tough to take a critic seriously when they’re hellbent on delivering a ‘serious’ critique dogging the sequel’s amoral, pretentious posturing while still providing chainsaw-related quips every few sentences. Geesh, lighten up Jack Curry. (I would’ve loved to have heard the social commentary he found in HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS!)

This review was taken from some L.A.-area newspaper in the late summer of 1986.
