Movie Review
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" is my ultimate comfort movie :] it's a wild ride of horror and comedy that I can't get enough of. The characters are so much fun to watch and the SOUNDTRACK is fantastic (Oingo Boingo!) Every moment is a delight. They absolutely nailed the tone, balancing scares with laughs perfectly. Bubba's crush on Stretch adds an adorable layer to his character and is such a sweet touch to the movie. Watching Chop-Top do his thing is wildly entertaining (Bill Moseley is a treasure!) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is wonderfully absurd and I adore every bloody, bizarre minute of it! A complete 180 from the original but it works so well. TCM is my favorite movie franchise so I adore all of the films but this one is wearing a crown made of gold in my mind.
