Texas Chainsaw IV (cuz 3 wasn’t enough!)

Back in 1994 a couple of no names decided to hook up with an equally no name low budget writer (Kim Henkel) who decided to make his directorial debut with yet another installment in the Chainsaw series. I might also add that this debut was his ONLY directorial effort.
Never heard of him? Neither have I. But I have heard of the two no name actors in this installment: Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger. Talk about a weird combination!
The Creeps come out at night…

Here we have college kids trying to fit in and trying to get laid, picking on nerdy kids, and providing the gratuitous boob shots that have become a staple of B-movie worthiness.
The acting was laughable, the cast was mostly no name actors, the script was so obviously memorized….
This was turning out to be a GREAT movie!
As some of you may have noticed, I have an appreciation for the “female species.” Most recently I sang praises to Angelina Jolie - and deservedly so. This next show of appreciation for the female “stud” is Jessica Alba. 
You want blood? It’s in here.
You want gore? Yeh - we got that, too.
You want non-stop zombie action? Then pop this baby into your DVD - it’s guaranteed to satisfy!
ok. So time for one more confession. I’m a big Brendan Frasier fan.
Now I know what you are thinking. He is no Brad Pitt, and you might have a point there but I have a thing for guys with a sense of humor, who know how to really laugh…. Brad Pitt cheats on his wife.
Enough said.
Typically I am not a fan of movies that provide gore just for the sake of shock effect. Usually in these cases the gore is lamely executed or the story line is exceptionally weak.
It’s also in these cases that I find myself annoyed or disgusted, all too aware that the movie is trying to make up for an extremely poor plot by providing mass quantities of blood and innards and gore (think Cabin Fever.)
While surfing the web as it seems I always do (I lead such an exciting life) I ran across a quiz that I excelled at (otherwise I’d be really embarrassed) and I thought it would be fun to see how you guys do.
Now this is not the same quiz I found. I changed up some answer options to make it more to my liking….
The original Prom Night, filmed from start to finish on one whooping month, stars Jamie Lee Curtis in another role that helped earn her status of being one of Hollywood’s “scream queens.” Only in this movie, Jamie doesn’t play so much of a damsel in distress as she does a damsel who takes action.
Ok. So you can probably tell by the title of my post that this review is not going to be very favorable of the movie. I tried to maintain an open mind. I really did. After all, this movie has some weird unexplainable cult following that spawned 2 sequels.
Surely there has to be something worthwhile of the movie, right?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m willing to bet you’ve heard the name “Troma” - a name that is synonymous with B-film. Some might even dare to say Troma Entertainment is the king of B. Would they be right? Well - as my mother likes to say, “that’s why they have chocolate AND vanilla [...]
