#a hell of a swing by Hooper: to return to the property that had made his name as a filmmaker for a belated sequel more than a decade later
#but to deliver a film so tonally distinct from its predecessor‚ so far in mood and style‚ that it acts almost as pastiche of the genre
#he absolutely nailed it though. truly one of The great horror sequels‚ the blackly funny‚ gloopy yin to the original's nerve shredding
#sinewy yang. Siedow was the only returning cast member‚ with his role developed and character expanded‚ and he's truly brilliant
#as the weirdly endearing cannibal cook among this dysfunctional serial killing family; Moseley's whole performance is a delight too‚
#a high energy‚ constantly chattering bit of dangerous clownery that's the perfect balance to the (newly childlike and sensitive) Leatherface
#Williams is great‚ one of the all time final girls‚ while getting Hopper (right at the beginning of his career revival after several years
#in the critical wilderness) was a huge boon: he gives everything to this bizarre‚ ridiculous role. where the og film was actually
#surprisingly discreet in its onscreen violence‚ relying more on the building of unbearable tension and uncomfortable editing
#this film is a gory mess from the very outset‚ and it does feel at times like Hooper is challenging the viewer after the response to TCM
