The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 4K 1986

It is a bit strange, however, that after the enormous success of 'Massacre' in 1974, Toob Hooper decided to shoot a sequel so late. The well-known saying 'Better late than never' seems to be in order here, but watching the final result of the maestro's efforts, this statement is turned upside down and you immediately catch yourself thinking that everyone would have been much better off if Hooper had not taken up the sequel of his old hit. So, let's take a closer, closer look at the patient. Where, in fact, is the pitfall? And it jumps out immediately after the opening credits of the picture: absolutely clinical in the sense of idiocy situation with the annihilation of two young scumbags by the notorious maniacal family of cannibals from the original picture, taking place with a chainsaw during a car chase! I'm curious, what was Hooper doing when he staged this scene after all? First we have the misfortune of seeing Leatherface dancing(!) with a chainsaw, who also has someone's rotting skeleton strapped to him. Then a guy who can hit a mailbox from a distance of twenty meters with a revolver, but shoots past a two meter hog at a distance of no more than three meters. And, accordingly, the sawing of the car in half with a chainsaw and its subsequent crash.

Here's the weird thing: when the police find a sawed-up, blood-spattered truck and absolutely no bodies, they decide that it was a simple car crash and just close the case! And we still have the nerve to accuse our domestic operatives of a lack of competence. It would seem that there is no place else in the movie marasmus, but then the iconic winner of the Academy Award, the late Dennis Hopper, with a look of 'What am I doing here?' and begins his difficult hunt for the maniacal family, because he has for them strictly personal scores. Accompanying all this outrageousness is also a strange from where the main character, which in the course of the plot takes away from Hopper his role.

There is nothing more to say, my tongue cannot describe the absurdity and idiocy occurring on the screen. A man who survives a chainsaw-ravaged abdomen, caves in the vein of Neil Marshall's 'Descent' which are mysteriously found under an abandoned amusement park, the main character who yells incessantly and never closes her mouth during the whole movie, Dennis Hopper who decides to destroy a hotbed of evil with his own chainsaw, which is strange, because I think it was much easier to use a machine gun. I also do not understand how one of the maniacs, who was turned into a bloody mess in the first part, got here. The director did not tell us this fact. Everything ends with the most standard and banal Hollywood explosion with the destruction of the villains' lair. What else really annoyed us was the camerawork, horrible in the worst sense of the word, looking more like an entrance exam for a student cameraman. In general this kind of movie is only worthy of appreciation by those for whom the number 80 is important in the release date. For everyone else it is better to pass by.
