This time around, a couple of college kids are on a road trip and take a wrong turn. There's not much else in the way of plot. Leatherface has gotten even dumber (wasn't he blown up last time?) and the family has changed so much that I think this was intended as a remake rather than a sequel. Viggo Mortensen is cool as Tex and Joe Unger is awesome as always. Why doesn't this guy get more parts? The stand out for me, was Ken Foree as Benny. This guy rocks and if there's anyone out there who can give the sick clan a run for their money, it's this guy. In short, if they want him, they're going to have to work for their dinner.
I knew what to expect with this one and I got what I wanted, however, my only complaint is the way that this one was tampered with. It's been butchered and trimmed down so much that we're barely left with 80 minutes of screentime and the gore is seriously lacking. I know there's an uncut version floating around somewhere, but I've never been lucky enough to track it down. Still, being as it is, I can settle for the video copy and keep waiting for a dvd. For die-hard fans of the genre, it's worth a look. If you didn't like the others, then why are you even here?
