Two prom night couples accidentally crash into a car and then cross paths with you know who when they go for help for the driver of the hit car. The Next Generation was directed by Kim Henkel who wrote the original. This entry ranges from mildly interesting (the first ten minutes) through to generic tedium …
I remember having a poster of Leatherface which came free with an issue of Gorezone. I asked my teacher if I could put it on my school common room wall which got a muted reaction to say the least. Here, a couple who are travelling through Texas take a wrong turn and…you can guess the …

A young photographer is given a mirror by a homeless man. Chaos ensues. The twists and turns of this franchise!
