Director Tobe Hooper went back to where it all started with his twisted sequel to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre! Over a decade after the gruesome events in 1973, Leatherface returns, descending upon a local radio station where he begins terrorizing its hosts. All while the town’s Lieutenant Lefty Enright (Dennis Hopper), investigates a series of recent killings, hellbent on seeking justice for his niece and nephew, Sally and Franklin Hardesty from the original film. This astonishing sequel features Bill Mosley in a breakout performance as the far-out but terrifying Chop Top! With its dark humor, over-the-top gore, and a climatic swashbuckling chainsaw showdown, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 remains an enduring cult classic even 40 years later!
