10 Movie Sequels That'll Definitely Make You Angry

Outside of his own ridiculously dissimilar follow-up, Tobe Hooper’s 1974 masterpiece The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has never received a worthy sequel. Even the 2003 remake is too well-made, replacing Hooper’s authentic griminess for studio sheen and recognisable stars.

Although 1995’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation is easily the worst one technically, its zaniness makes it a prime example of “so bad, it’s good” cinematic gold.

The same cannot be said about 2013’s Texas Chainsaw 3D, which – outside of its awkward use of visual gimmicks – is full of plot holes and awful one-liners, both of which derive from its attempt to be a direct successor to Hooper’s first film.

Protagonist Heather Miller was supposedly an infant when the Sawyers were gunned down by law enforcement circa 1974; therefore, she should be around 40 when 3D takes place, but actress Alexandra Daddario was only in her mid-20s.

Then, toward the end of the movie, Miller realises that she and Leatherface are related and that Mayor Burt Hartman is the real bad guy. This leads to an incredibly stupid remark, as Miller tosses a chainsaw to Leatherface and gloats, “Do your thing, cuz!” Rarely has present-day cinema deserved such a strong facepalm.
