If you loved The Mangler, try The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Tobe Hooper, and they sit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Mangler, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is
Texas wasteland. Midday. A lone microphone. A DJ’s broadcast becomes a death-cast, drawing a chainsaw-wielding family out of hiding. A former lawman lusts for vengeance. Hooper steers the franchise into gonzo splatter-comedy.
