I'll never understand why so many horror fans seem to love this sequel. For years, I kept hearing "oh, it's not great, because the MPAA cut out all the gore. You need to see it with all the extra gore." Now that I've seen that version, I can safely say that my feelings are the same. There are some nice effects here, but it's never very engaging, creepy, atmospheric, scary, or suspenseful.
As a fan of director Jeff Burr, I'm surprised. His Stepfather II is equally as good as the original and From A Whisper To A Scream is one of the finest horror anthologies I've seen. I'm not sure if studio interference was heavier this time around or what, but this film feels passionless and watered down.
Leatherface is a disappointing sequel to a horror classic. At least, the previous entry tried to do something new, but this feels like something we've seen a trillion times over. It's skippable.
