worst of all has to be McConaughey, who hoots and howls his way through the mid-film torture of Zellweger with such brio that it becomes something like misogynistic performance art.

While not technically a good movie, the (un?)intentional comedy and parodying of the franchise make this fourth entry an admittedly entertaining (and hilarious) watch.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 30, 2020

It is a uniquely terrible film - a uniquely terrible film that I'd kill to see with a rowdy crowd at a midnight screening.

A strange look at what Leatherface and his clan came to be- can't help wondering if Henkel even remembers the original.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 3, 2019

Who is this movie for? Why make a movie for no one? ...never before has a movie so vehemently hated the viewer. It's as if it's trying to make fun of you...

Largely terrible, with the kernel of something interesting in the film's final scenes.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 22, 2018

Zellweger acquits herself rather well, although McConaughey's eye-rolling, over-the-top performance is a matter of personal taste.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 22, 2018

Though Henkel's script broadly apes memorable moments from the first film, the echoes only serve to underscore how short he's coming up here.

| Nov 5, 2016

A sloppy, poorly written, lazily conceived mess from start to finish.

Zellweger makes Jenny the most formidable scream queen since Jamie Lee Curtis went legit.

Full Review | Mar 26, 2009

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 24, 2008

Not just a complete failure as a sequel, it's one of the five or ten worst films from the whole of the 1990s.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Jun 23, 2008

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

| Original Score: F | Aug 3, 2007

Tired and dated.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 3, 2006

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 8, 2005

A cheap rip-off with a story and ending that made no f-ing sense!

You might wanna erase this from your CV's, guys?

Passable -- and much better than its reputation.
