By Dan Abnett<\/strong>, Andy Lanning<\/strong> & Wes Craig<\/strong> (WildStorm) I’ve already mentioned that I have aesthetic reasons for disliking a lot of generic \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Teen-Slasher\u00e2\u20ac\u009d fiction, so I’ll only briefly recapitulate here. If an evil is unstoppable, and the humans\/victims have no chance of escape or survival then all narrative tension is lost and all you have is a body-count and an exercise in grotesque imagination, not a story. That said I have to admit that this sequel to the remake of the legendary cannibal gore-fest wherein a slaughterhouse worker uses his chainsaw to gut hapless kids is\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 unfortunately just another one of those.<\/p>\n A follow-up FBI team arrives in the town of Fuller, Texas in 1974 to gather evidence on the greatest mass-murderer in American history – and who is still at large – just ahead of a mobile TV news crew, only to discover that not only have the killings not stopped, but the killer had a large family with the same tastes. Moreover the entire town was complicit in the deaths. This daft plot rapidly degenerates into the ever-escalating bloodbath the target audience is waiting for and it all ends as you’d expect – with nothing resolved and another sequel on the cards.<\/p>\n Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning and artist Wes Craig work at the best of their capabilities and I’m sure dedicated fans will be happy enough but I fear there’s nothing here for the casual or more discerning reader.<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a9 MMVII New Line Productions, Inc.
