Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. HorrorFan23 — ★★★½
   “A vulgar, wild ride of gore and satire that lurches between horror and absurdity.”

2. ChainsawConnoisseur — ★★★★
   “More camp than its predecessor, but still delivers a chainsaw-whipped punch of brutality and twisted humour.”

3. MidnightScream — ★★★
   “It tries hard to homage the original, but the tonal shift makes it more chaotic than scary.”

4. RetroSlasherGeek — ★★★★½
   “An 80s horror acid trip: loud, bloody and unapologetically off-kilter. Not for everyone, but cult gold.”

5. GraveyardWatcher — ★★★★★
   “The most unhinged the series ever got — Leatherface unleashed in full carnival hell mode.”

Meta Description: A high-voltage sequel by Tobe Hooper that trades subtle terror for chainsaws, satire and carnage — The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 revels in its shock and absurdity, becoming a cult horror landmark.
