Es ist schwer zu glauben, dass wirklich Tobe Hooper bei der Fortsetzung von Texas Chainsaw Massacre selbst Regie geführt hat. Wo der erste Ton einen sehr beklemmenden Grundton anschlägt, ist der zweite Teil nun mehr Horrorkomödie als bitterböser Horrorfilm. Dies hat sicherlich damit zu tun, dass zwi ... schen den beiden Filmen 12 Jahre Filmgeschichte liegen und Horrorfilme in den 80er Jahren generell anders daher kamen als es noch 1974 der Fall war, doch irgendwie passt dieser humorvolle Ton nicht zu Leatherface und seiner degenerierten Familie. Irgendwie erwartete man ein heruntergekommenes Haus irgendwo in der Wüste und nicht einen eigenartigen Freizeitpark. Für sich genommen ist The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 allerdings kein schlechter Film. Den Ton den der Film treffen will, trifft er auf den Punkt, es gibt einige Szenen für Splatterfans, die Figur der Stretch ist eine echte Scream Queen und mit Dennis Hopper ist sogar ein Superstar an Board. Wer also The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 nicht als Fortsetzung, sondern als eigenständigen Film sehen kann wird sicher gut unterhalten. [Sneakfilm.de]
