Leave your thoughts about The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
| USA TodayMike ClarkThe kind of cinematic endeavor where you suspect both cast and crew were obligated to bring their own beer. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenBits and pieces of the story will, on occasion, leave you scratching your head but it, nevertheless, moves rapidly enough to keep you scurrying to keep pace with the new business at hand. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyThough Henkel's script broadly apes memorable moments from the first film, the echoes only serve to underscore how short he's coming up here. |
| Apollo GuideElspeth HaughtonThe crux of this film's failure is its inexplicable attempt at campy humour and its incoherent ending. |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrA cheap rip-off with a story and ending that made no f-ing sense! |
| Boxoffice MagazineKaren AchenbachRecommended for viewers who haven't enough fear, stress, violence or ugliness in their lives. |

| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonNot just a complete failure as a sequel, it's one of the five or ten worst films from the whole of the 1990s. |
