Leatherface just looks off in this one. The first two he looked scary and this one the long hair kinda makes him almost normal. This was just a generic slasher. Viggo was good, interesting seeing him in one of his earlier roles.

The first half is actually fairly reasonably watchable but the thing is apart from the always reliable Viggo, the family is the least interesting part and the film buckles in the second half STILL not the worst TCM

A rather generic sequel which doesn’t really do much different from the previous two. It's not as awful as I thought it’d be but still pretty aggressively average overall. The creepy gas station guy is a trope at this point. The weak kills make it too tiresome at times and the mpaa rating does hurt this film a lot. It moves by quickly at least though. And it has a sense of humor and a lot of camp that makes it quite enjoyable.

My favorite film of the franchise. I enjoy the new family, the portrayal of Leatherface and the metal on the soundtrack. The protagonists are pretty obnoxious though. Still, it's a fun chainsaw movie.
