April 12, 2014Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation had an unbelievable amount of potential - it starred two future Oscar winners (Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger) and a cross-dressing Leatherface. With all that going for it, it really wasn't a good movie, and not even in a bad way. At best I'd call it a curiosity. Somehow they took a talented cast and an interesting idea and a tried-and-true bad guy with a twist and they made a really boring movie with a really stupid story. To begin with, Leatherface was hardly in it, which was a let-down. It relied far to heavily on McConaughey's ability to act like a lunatic (and to his credit he was fantastic), but there wasn't much else going on for it. Just some kids who got lost and ended up getting slaughtered by the Slaughter family. Only worth watching to complete the franchise, but not for anything else.
