November 3, 2010Pretty well a remake of the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie, except done badly. Leatherface is now dressing up like a woman. Matthew McConaughey is playing the psycho brother role. The psycho with the metal leg was overly-complicated; we didn't need that. There's a hilarious ... read more

November 3, 2010I know I have said a lot of bad things about Land of the Dead, but this movie is far worse. I demand that you see this so-called remake and vommit as you watch this rape of the original!

August 13, 2010This one SUCKED. Not funny. Corny in the worst way possible. Silly and just flat out dumb. Kim Henkel (who helped Hooper write the original TCM) directed this piece of sh*t. Thank God this is the only movie he directed. I wouldn't be able to bare anymore embarrassment watching hi... read more

June 9, 2010Where to start with this film? The bad acting? the bad directing? the bad script, story? This film absolutely ruined the series. TCM next generation is pretty the same of the story as the first TCM, except instead of kids investigating a grave robbing, they're travelling on a sec... read more

September 18, 2009This film is a bit nasty. No horror, no suspense, it?s not even frightening, it?s just violent and unnecessary. Turning Leatherface into a transvestite was a stroke of genius though!

June 14, 2009The biggest pile of shit from the 1990's. Dental work is preferable to what amounts to a cheap remake of the original film that doesn't go anywhere new, makes no sense, and features acting on par with a three year old reading the script to Porky's Revenge.

March 4, 2008It's entertaining to see Renee Zellweger playing a "survivor girl", but the "family" is quite weak in this one, as is the gore. For queasy types and kids, it's plenty grotesque, but there are no memorable kills or scares here for a horror fan. I saw the "dead family around the ta... read more

April 16, 2007Many years ago a friend and myself saw this really cheap somewhere. Maybe $5. We bought it, watched it and afterward we fought over who had to keep it. I remember McConewhatever had remote control legs and that was funny, but it was horrible. Just horrible.

From electric cattle prods to human infernos, it's an tough, rough ride.

Janet Maslin, New York Times
Without much wit of its own, Kim Henkel's tyro film is just what the polished Scream makes fun of. Full Review

Mike Clark, USA Today
The kind of cinematic endeavor where you suspect both cast and crew were obligated to bring their own beer.
October 7, 1994
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey try to out-bad-act each other in the luridly abysmal third sequel to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Full Review

Dustin Putman, DustinPutman.com
Actually a fairly serviceable slasher flick up until a head-scratching last fifteen minutes that introduces and then fails to explain a series of plainly stupid plot twists. Full Review

Tim Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy
Not just a complete failure as a sequel, it's one of the five or ten worst films from the whole of the 1990s. Full Review

For the most part you stare at the screen and wonder how anybody involved thought this could possibly have been any good. Full Review

Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
A cheap rip-off with a story and ending that made no f-ing sense!
