Blood squirts and sparks fly as a wacked-out lawman goes after human meat cutters with his own high-octane saws in a horrific showdown with the legendary Leatherface and his cannibal family. 

For 14 years, former Texas Ranger Lefty Enright (Dennis Hopper, Speed, Blue Velvet) has been obsessed with finding the psychotic mass murderers who killed his brother’s children. But today, he’s in luck. A tough-as-nails late-night disc jockey (Caroline Williams, Days of Thunder) has caught the ghouls on tape in the act of slicing and dicing a couple of fun-loving rich kids. When she volunteers to help, Lefty persuades her to play the tape over the air to lure the maniacs out of hiding. But what she doesn’t know is that she’s the only witness to their butchery who hasn’t been carved up for somebody’s supper yet!

From the director of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this “ghostly and hilarious” (Variety) sequel is a horrifying descent into your deepest, darkest fears that will keep you up night after night after night.

Suddenly John has powers he can’t even control, much less understand.
