Dir: Tobe Hooper
Superior sequel which reunites the crazy cannibal family from the original for an infinitely gorier exercise in pure delirium. Caroline Williams stars as a supercute rockabilly DJ who inadvertantly broadcasts a live chainsaw killing on air (two college kids phoning in a request before being hacked to pieces). This attracts some unwanted attention from the killers, who decide to put her out of business once and for all. L.M. Kit Carson's multi-faceted screenplay is a fiendishly clever slice of Texan grand guignol; daring, disturbing, surreal and deeply, darkly funny. The gruesome set design, manic performances and unrestrained, MPAA-baiting bloodshed (courtesy of Tom Savini) all make for a truly feverish one-of-a-kind experience and, for my money, Hooper's masterpiece. Spectacular stuff, if you've the stomach for it. ****
