- Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation is a 1994 American slasher horror/comedy film and the fourth instalment in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre franchise originally released as The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4). The film is written and directed by Kim Henkel, and starring Renée Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey, both before they became mainstream stars. The film is a loose remake of and quasi-sequel to the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), which Henkel had co-written with Tobe Hooper.

| abstract | - Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation is a 1994 American slasher horror/comedy film and the fourth instalment in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre franchise originally released as The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4). The film is written and directed by Kim Henkel, and starring Renée Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey, both before they became mainstream stars. The film is a loose remake of and quasi-sequel to the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), which Henkel had co-written with Tobe Hooper. It has only loose connections to the previous two sequel films, which are mentioned in the film's opening prologue as "two minor, yet apparently related incidents" which happened after the events of the original film. The plot centers on a group of teenagers who find themselves in a secluded area of forest on their prom night after getting into a car accident, only to cross paths with a family of murderers, among them the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface. The movie was filmed in Pflugerville, Texas in 1994 on a budget of $600,000, and was released at several film festivals under the title The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was then shelved for three years, and was re-cut and released under the title Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation in late summer 1997, after its two lead actors had both become major Hollywood stars. The film has been panned by reviewers, movie-goers and critics and is considered one of the worst films of all time.
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (also known as The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre), is a 1994 American horror film written and directed by Kim Henkel, starred Renée Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey years before either of them became recognized as mainstream stars. It is the fourth installment in the Texas Chain Saw Massacre series. The film has very loose connection with the series' previous installments, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) and Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990), but rather quasi-remakes the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). The makers of the film intended it as the "real sequel" to the 1974 movie. They also intended to do a remake (or "reimagining") of the original, but ended up billing the result as a sequel to the third film. The film premiered at the South by Southwest film conference in 1995 under the title The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and ended up having a rocky release-history, as it became the centre of controversy between its filmmakers and distributor Columbia Pictures; this resulted in the film being shelved for several years. Eventually, the film received a limited release in August 1997, re-cut from the original material, and under the title Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.
