The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - aka The Texas Chainsaw Metaphor 2. Yes Tobe, we get it; chainsaws = dicks and horror villains kill out of sexual frustration. It takes the grimy menace of the original and subverts it into a confused over-the-top self-parody. It's not a bad film as such, just so different in style and tone to its predecessor to make it a poor sequel. It does feature Dennis Hopper in a dual-wielding chainsaw scene which has to be worth something.
