In the same morbid league as "Death Race 2000", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974) was widely reviled by the mainstream as too extreme, but it was rescued from obscurity by rebel cineastes who got their kicks watching innocent people terrorized and killed with stylish direction and sick humor by filmmaker Tobe Hooper.
Blackly comic and extreme in its portrayal of a murderous back-roads clan, Cinepix Film Properties' "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation" jokingly refers to the first two "Massacre" sequels made in 1986 and 1990. One has to be in the right mood for this brand of horror-comedy, and for general audiences it's unpalatable.
Released originally by Columbia/TriStar in 1995 under a different title, "Next Generation" is resurfacing in a shorter version to cash in on the rising stardom of leads Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey.
Those with the stomach and nerves to survive writer-director Kim Henkel's unnerving shriekfest will find that Zellweger and McConaughey do their riskiest and possibly most satisfying work to date.
A high-school girl with a strong will to survive, but one who is repeatedly tortured and driven to hysterics by evil hicks, Jenny (Zellweger) survives an ordeal that would make G.I. Jane flinch.
As the roaringly primitive lead sadist Vilmer, McConaughey radiates evil and physically intimidates. He's joined by the equally primal Leatherface (Robert Jacks) in chasing down and terrorizing victims. In a mild warmup for the horrors to come, Jenny's hapless boyfriend (John Harrison) is run over by Vilmer in a tow truck.
The fate that befalls Jenny's friends Heather (Lisa Newmyer) and Barry (Tyler Cone) is far worse and pushes the envelope of screen mayhem. When Vilmer isn't choking and breaking necks, Leatherface is revving up the chainsaw. As if this pair wasn't enough, the nest of sickos is rounded out with a quotation-spewing redneck (Joe Stevens) and a deranged floozy (Tonie Perenski).
After a few preliminary scares in the forest where Jenny and her friends are stranded, the film gets down to business with the beating and mangling of Newmyer's character, while Jenny keeps escaping the clutches of Vilmer only to be hunted down and forced to endure more serious abuse. She keeps fighting back and eventually earns a well-deserved rescue.
Not happy with Hooper's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" and "Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III," Henkel, author of the original film, uncorks a frenzy of nightmarish imagery and vicious human behavior. One can't help but root for Zellweger's remarkable character, but one also hopes the franchise is given another long rest.
