98761
AUSTIN, Texas  - With the question of   sacrilege already dispatched in 2003 when Tobe Hooper's stark,   primordial "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was happily remade as an   au courant pop gorefest, the question of whether a new prequel   is in a class with its 1974 forebear is a non sequitur to   anyone but hardcore fans (who nevertheless will nod approvingly   at producer credits for Hooper and partner Kim Henkel).

Finally, a serial-killer movie so preposterous it may actually put a permanent kibosh on this tediously overworked crime subgenre.

The sequel to the hit film is a damp squib.

Steven Soderbergh's unabashedly trivial sequel may be slim pickings, but when it works, it's a blast.

The motorcycle road trip flick doesn't deliver - despite heavy hitters Travolta, Macy, Allen, and Lawrence.

It may have a captivating title, but this film has little else going for it.
