Stanny R @StannyMC Feb 6 Perhaps the weakest entry in the Texas Chainsaw franchise, some fun moments and memorably odd line deliveries, but overall it’s not good. See more Andrew S @Malasita Oct 27 The worst film of the franchise. The characters are dumb. The acting is horrible. The plot is ridiculous. The films of this franchise just get worse with each installment. Matthew McConaughey will bring some of this style of acting back in Killer Joe. See more Melissa L @Agent99 Oct 23 This was one of the WORST horror movies I've ever watched! I cannot believe this got made and had well-established stars in it. Although, since it was made in 1994, I'm not sure just how "well-established they were. Anyway, you've been warned! See more stephen b Oct 18 Ironic that the only one of these movies with a recognizable cast is so horrendous and non-sensical. See more Shelby O Oct 12 what was even happening in this movie Some interesting parts but I just couldn't take it seriously How do these movies keep making Leatherface the least interesting character See more Rowan C @RowanC3 Oct 8 The Next Generation was genuinely awful, but it is a tiny bit better than the second movie. This movie starts with 4 teens who are going to prom, just trying to have a decent night. They are Jenny (Renee Zellweger), Heather (Lisa Marie Newmyer), Barry (Tyler Cone) and Sean (John Harrison). Heather and Barry are dating, and Darla caught Barry making out with another girl. She drove away in Barry’s car and Barry hopped in, while Jenny and Sean were in the back seat as well. They ended up colliding with two cars and the second collision totaled their car, and caused the other driver to pass out. The guy they hit passed out on the ground, while Jenny, Heather and Barry went to go look for help. They are out in the middle of the woods, but there was this little service area out there where a woman named Darla (Tonie Perensky) was willing to help. She was calling this guy named Vilmer (Matthew McConaughey) to go help the guy who passed out and Sean, who stayed back to keep an eye on them. When Vilmer got there, he ended up snapping the passed out dude’s neck and eventually ran over Sean with his car. Vilmer is obviously a part of this whole scheme, and I could already tell that Matthew McConaughey was going to play his role perfectly. The other teens were coming back until Heather and Barry split off from Jenny, while chasing a car because they wanted a ride. Jenny ended up encountering Vilmer, with intentions to catch a ride. Vilmer got her in the car and seemed nice at first, then it started talking about a murder story. He was explaining how he would've murdered someone better than just shooting their arms off. Vilmer then told Jenny to look in the trunk but Jenny refused. Vilmer grabbed her head, and made her look at Sean’s dead body in the trunk. Jenny got out of the car and started sprinting for her life, while Vilmer was chasing after her. Heather and Barry found this old farmhouse, and Heather opted to stay on the porch while Barry searched the backyard. Barry ran into W.E. Slaughter (Joe Stevens) and he was a part of the family, pointing a gun at Barry. Leatherface (Rober Jacks) was right behind Heather in the front of the house, where he was playing with her hair. Leatherface grabbed Heather when she realized he was there and he stuffed her in a freezer. Barry was able to get inside, while locking out W.E. Slaughter and he also encountered Leatherface in the house. Leatherface hit him with a hammer and that was the last time we ever saw Barry in the movie. Heather was trying to escape the freezer, so Leatherface put her on one of the hooks. Leatherface also surprised Jenny, when Vilmer finally stopped chasing her. Leatherface chased Jenny all the way to the service area, where she met Darla. It turns out that Darla was one of them, so Darla and W.E. Slaughter worked together to stuff Jenny in Darlas’ car. Jenny was tied up and just bombarded for hours on end by Vilmer acting absolutely insane. Heather was seen by Darla after she managed to get off the hook, and Darla told W.E. Slaughter that Heather was in the middle of the road. Vilmer brought in Heather, where he bit her nose to the point where he had blood in his mouth. Jenny actually managed to escape, but she was taken again by Vilmer who brought her back to the house. Time goes on, and it is finally time for family dinner. This is where Leatherface puts on makeup, nail polish and a wig, which makes me so mad because this was not the move. Grandpa Sawyer (Grayson Victor Schirmacher) was at the table, but left when Vilmer knocked out W.E. Slaughter. Two men arrive at the house and the main one is Mr. Rothman (James Gale). Mr. Rothman was apparently a part of the illuminati to terrorize people but he was there to scrutinize Vilmer for his actions. Vilmer had a mechanical boot, so he went over to the corner and crushed Heather's head with his boot. His boot was controlled by remotes, so Jenny used that to her advantage when trying to escape. She managed to get out and while Leatherface is chasing her, she gets into an RV with an old couple driving. Vilmer picked up Leatherface on his truck, and they managed to tip the RV over. Jenny got out and a plane came down to kill Vilmer, which enraged Leatherface. A black Limo pulls up to rescue Jenny, but it turns out to be Mr. Rothman and Mr. Rothman offers to take Jenny to the local hospital or the police station. Jenny chose to go to the local hospital to get help, where she saw Sally Hardesty as a patient. The movie ends with Leatherface swinging his chainsaw around. Leatherface is such a laughing stock in this movie and all he does is just scream the entire movie, while doing nothing useful. The only reason this is a tiny bit better than the second movie, is because Matthew McConaughey does such a great job playing Vilmer. Leatherface is referred to as Leather Slaughter in this universe. Overall, this was such a horrible representation of Leatherface and I hope they learned from this atrocity of a movie. See more Read all reviews
