This movie was, arguably, more engaging than the original because of how bonkers ridiculous it was. It's peak 80s horror that's also self-aware, and I loved it. Dennis Hopper running with three chainsaws (and backup chains in an X across his chest like ammo bandoliers) while yelling and having to stop to open a gate was hilarious. The bizarre chainsaw-based flirtation that happened in the radio station was so confusing but also fascinating. (It really reinforced the notion I got from the first movie, which was that Leatherface really just needed to not have the really fucked up family that he had. Like, maybe he did enjoy killing but also seemed to have some degree of awareness that maybe not everyone needs to be murdered horribly.) The set design for the lair was fantastic, and I bet the props people had an absolute blast with everything. It was also super funny how the cook is now just running a legit business, with all that entails, except that also it's all human-based meat involved. Look at that poster, this is not a movie to be taken seriously. It knows it, I know it, you know it. Also I wish there had ever been a chainsaw in my life even half as reliable as the ones in this movie. My mom and I do yard work and the chain falls off the damn thing after like 30 seconds, or chokes, or stops working in some other way.
