But sadly it’s not enough to make The Next Generation stand out higher on this list. They give it their all and if you’re in the mood for some “so-bad-it’s good” horror you could do a lot worse. While this one is weak on scares, heavy on schlock and has one of the worst looking Leatherface masks in the franchise (at least for this horror fan) it DOES have one of the most committedly over the top performances by a very intense and very entertaining Matthew McConaughey as LF relative Vilmer, as well as a young Reneé Zellweger holding her own against him. While TCM:TNG wasn’t high up enough on my radar to make that list, I have to be honest and say it’s not as bad as I first remembered. All right, all right, all right?Ī little while back I made a list of horror movies I used to hate that I now love. # 8 Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995) Now listen to me Miss Bridget Jones. But the rest of the movie comes across as generic, and if you skipped it you wouldn’t be missing much. It does have a few positives though, such as Ken Foree ( Dawn of the Dead, From Beyond) as badass Leatherface hunter Benny and, of all things, a young Viggo Mortensen as one of the Sawyer clan, as well as possibly the best chainsaw old LF has ever owned in the form of a golden one with the words “The Saw is Family” written on it. Of all the TCM movies this one is the least memorable for me to the point where I totally forgot what it was about. Here are ALL NINE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE MOVIES RANKED: #9 Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990) Looking good cuz. How many times have they tried you wonder? The answer is eight and today I’m gonna take a meat hook to them as I line them up in order of bloody goodness. That said, there’s no denying Tobe Hooper’s first film made a lasting impact on the genre, an indelible mark that leaves new directors and writers trying over and over again to hit that bullseye and fans returning with hopes of catching lightning in a bottle once more. As horror franchises go this one probably isn’t topping that many lists because most of the series is made up of remakes, reboots and reimaginings instead of straight forward sequels. When I think of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, I think messy and in more ways than may seem obvious. Sommerleigh Pollonais, Horror Head Writer
