Each to their own Trebor, personally i do like Texas chainsaw massacre 2, like you say it's completely messed up (in a good way) and i find it really entertaining. Especially Dennis Hoppers scenery chewing performance who i really like as an actor. But personally i would rate it an 8/10.
The original Chainsaw i would rate 10/10 any day of the week (and there's only a handful of films that i rate this highly), for me it is just a outstanding film that oozes a disturbing atmosphere. I wanted to see it since i was about 10 but due to James Ferman and the BBFC i had to wait about 14 years to see it, and was not disappointed when i finally saw it, in fact it was better than i expected.
But that's just my opinion.
