The son of Peter reviews TCM 2. "Dog Will Hunt !"
This movie is everything the first one wasn't.With more laughs and wacky amounts of gore this is better than Evil dead 2! With a rich story line (for a horror movie). And best of all the wierd cannibal family are back! Excellent performances from DJ "Streach" (Caroline Williams) as the screaming heroine. And "Lefty" Enright (Dennis Hopper) the Triple chainsawed hero with an equal love for the buzz. "Leatherface" (Bill Johnson) plays a sexually frustrated maniac. While "Chop Top" (Bill Moseley) plays a mad hippie.(Grampa & Cook-Draytor sawyer) are also back from TCM. This is a stylish remake of the first movie which is also following from the original. Much (again!) like Evil Dead 2.Although in this movie you find yourself feeling sorry for leatherface as he portrayed as simple. Harmless one minute towards "Strech" then mad and sometimes down-right funny. Remember folks this is a black comedy and other elments go with it.The final battle of the saws is shocking, also the final moments with "streach" spining the-close-to-the-orignal-chainsaw above her head is a brill omache tovthe end of TCM. Gore & Humour rule in this sequel.Remember folks "DOG WILL HUNT!" ...

Unremarkable follow-up to landmark Chainsaw film..
The original Tobe Hooper directed Texas Chainsaw Massacre film was a low-budget classic for many reasons. The gut wrenching use of implied violence led many a movie-goer to leave the theater in disgust persuaded that he had witnessed horrendous, graphic acts that were never actually shown. Truth be told, nary a drop of blood was spilled in that film, relying instead on psychological terror.
For this follow-up, Hooper changed his original winning formula by injecting liberal doses of gore and parody making for a terribly uneven film.
The film follows radio DJ Stretch (the leggy Caroline Williams) as she is pursued by Leatherface and his equally demented brother Chop-Top (Bill Moseley), after being privy to the chainsaw demise of two callers during a late night call-in segment on her show. Meanwhile, Lefty Enright (Dennis Hopper), the sheriff uncle of Sally Hardesty (the original victim from the first film) is in hot pursuit of Leatherface and his cannibal clan.
The problems with this film are that the gore murders are just not believable and look hokey, atypical of the usually excellent work of special FX master Tom Savini. Also, the humour is just too over the top and the performances below average. Hopper in particular looks like he's restraining laughter at the implausible situations he is faced with.
The postive aspects of this film: a totally psychotic performance by Bill Moseley (House of a 1,000 Corpses) as the music loving, wig wearing Chop-Top-a truly perverse and often hilarious character and the perfect accomplice to Leatherface's mayhem. Caroline Williams is also a strong final girl, heroic and intelligent, a welcome relief from the stereotypical hysterical, idiotic scream queen that frequently populates such films. The sets are outstanding too, in particular the climax at the cannibals lair-a completely surreal creation straight out of a nightmare.
In closing, there are certainly worst horror films than this one, but compared to the original film and the recent remake this one comes up short on the fright and originality factor. More laughs than terror makes for a strange sequel to a film that originally shocked a nation with its unrelenting intensity.
The DVD is also pretty pathetic with absolutely the worst cover art I have ever seen for a horror film, it looks more like a western, why is Leatherface not on the packaging...The extras are non-existent with only a trailer present, it would be nice to see this film re-released in a more spectacular edition at some point.
