    The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This tape is a directors cut from 1995 for the later renamed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation and released in 1998. According to multiple sources, this was a limited release given out to test audiences. #texaschainsawmassacre #vhs

    589/—‘The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ aka ‘The Next Generation’ Similar in plot to the original, with a twist! The Sawyers work for the Illuminati! Notable for early Zelleweger and McConaughey, who gives an unhinged performance as the kinda family patriarch #Horror365Challenge #MutantFam

    This is probably rather interesting to look into, not only how active different countries were (or are) in censoring, at different times, but what was most objectionable. Sweden banned and, more often, cut into movies from 1911 until The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the nineties.

    The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1995) Dir- Kim Henkel The most perfect realization of Chainsaw for the heart of the Clinton era, for the year O.J. Simpson was found not guilty, for the summer that Windows 95 was released. McConaughey goes all in. He really shows the fuck up for this.

    Popped on the much maligned Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (aka. The Return of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and it's amazing how writer/director Kim Henkel's voice cuts straight through. It's instantly engaging in a way TCM3 never managed.

    I decided to revisit Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation AKA The Return of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the first time in years. I remember it being bad. But damn! It is terrible. Bad acting. Bad effects. Bad writing. Bad directing. Bad editing. Just bad all around.

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995) is a bizarre attempt to parody the original TCM, but instead of amusing you or scaring you, it's more bound to leave you scratching your head.

    Finally watched "The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre" aka "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation" finishing off the original tetralogy for spooky season. It's more substantial than part 3, not as shocking or interesting as 2. Dull 1st 3rd, Matthew McConaughey carries the film. 3 outta 5

    Guessing that's the theatrical. The DC is 93 mins or so and opens with The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre title card (I think the theatrical still ends with that title but opens with The Next Generation)

    Be sure to track down Henkel's original cut if you can, called The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's got Laserdisc SD inserts but it's what I'm basing my reaction on. I know the theatrical version is shorter. I can furnish this version of required.
