This the forth Texas chainsaw massacre movie. It not has scarier as the original The Texas chainsaw massacre from 1974. Also The Texas chainsaw massacre 2 is scarier. Also Leather face Texas chainsaw massacre III is scarier. But there no reason to say this is a awful movie. There is reason why people do not like this. It is the forth one. I think that would be the reason. This a very scary movie. I keep hearing that the fifth part to the original series Chainsaw massacre 3.D is better. This a great movie. And Chainsaw massacre 3.D is just awful. I The Texas chainsaw massacre remake from 2003 is not better then is movie. It is just boring crape. I can't believe people think Texas chainsaw massacre the beginning is better. That movie is producible and boring. In this movie you don't know what is going to happen still you see it. The fist three The Texas chainsaw massacre movies are better but only by a little bite. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. I consider this horror fantasy because the killer in this movie are ghouls. This movie is a must see.

After senior prom, four Texan teenagers go out on a road trip, which eventually leads to a car crash in a rural back-road area. It isn't long until they find out they are being toyed with by a degenerate, crazy family with cannibalistic roots and chainsaw wielding tendencies. When first viewing TCM: The Next Generation with no prior knowledge of the film, it's hard to believe how bad the movie would end up being. It's obvious when watching the opening five minutes that the film worked with an extremely low budget for a big-named sequel and a first time director. The film is filled with pointless dialogue and head-scratching scenes that don't belong at any point. There isn't any chainsaw related deaths and very few chainsaw scenes in general. Not to mention, they made Leatherface into an unlikable sissy figure from the traditional menacing maniac that he should be. The film isn't completely trash though because there are a few times that are pretty laughable, and it can be entertaining to watch on the standpoint of it being a really bad movie. If the viewer can get past the terrible acting and writing, then give Next Generation a shot. Especially, if the viewer is a fan of Matthew McConaughey or Renee Zellweger, being Next Generation is one of their first films and they are the stars of the movie. It really isn't necessary to search out this film after watching the original trilogy and looking to move on to the newer modern day Texas Chainsaw films. Yes, Next Generation is that bad

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation is just horrible. The plot revolves around the most annoying teenagers ever(with the exception of one girl) getting into a car wreck in the woods after leaving their high school prom early and running into Leatherface and his family.This movie has virtually no redeeming qualities, the dialogue is horrible AT BEST, the acting is atrocious, and worst of all, the villains in this movie are not at all intimidating.Leatherface in this movie is played by Robert Jacks, who screams and whines throughout his time on screen and wears dresses. There's some gruesome scenes of torture, but that doesn't make the film scary. there's also some stupid subplot about a secret society that forces the chainsaw family to commit their crimes, which just adds to the stupidity of the film. The only redeeming quality of this film is Renee Zellweger's character, but even she isn't given much to do. My advice is whether you are a fan of this series or not, avoid part 4 at all costs!

Tcm:the next generation is an odd film. Its more entertaining than the previous installment, "Leatherface", but its a far cry from the original. We follow some of the most annoying, idiotic, and bizarre teens as they leave prom and get into a wreck on a Texas back road. Soon enough Matthew McCaughney shows up snapping necks, overkilling a guy with his monster truck, and jumping off roofs onto cars. He seems to be in charge of the new "Sawyer family". Leatherface spends half the film in drag and screaming his lungs out during chaotic scenes of violence or chases. The teen characters are so stupid you actually root for them to meet their demise. The acting is all over the place. Matthew McCaughney gives a whacked out, over the top performance, while Renee Zellwegger is mediocre at best.There's some ridiculous sub-plot about the Sawyer family being used as a type of anarchy/psycho squad by some sort of agency or occult. But it falls flat and seems like trying to add some method to the madness.The gore is weak, the acting is weak but the film has a manic pace and some truly disturbing moments. It does feel like a rehash of the original and part 3. But thats expected when your plot revolves around a redneck, cannibalistic family with a chainsaw wielding maniac. Its better than the dreadful "Leatherface", but its no TCM2. A solid rental. More of a remake then a sequel.
