Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre) Movie Review

Now Playing - The Movie Review Podcast

You carved me at 'Hello'.

For the 20th anniversary of the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Kim Henkel returned to the franchise to introduce Leatherface to The Next Generation. Featuring early performances from Renée Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey, the film positioned itself as a bold new chapter for Leatherface and his deeply disturbed clan. Instead, production delays and studio uncertainty left it sitting on the shelf until a quiet home video release in 1997, after its young stars had become marquee names. The promise was a return to the raw, unsettling spirit of 1974. The result is something far stranger. Does this fourth installment reclaim the franchise’s gritty edge, or veer into off-the-rails territory? Arnie, Brock, and Stuart fire up the chainsaw to decide whether this Next Generation resurrects the saga or hacks it apart.
