I'm probably not voicing the majority opinion, but I, personally, don't like TCM2. It is, indeed, too over-the-top-crazy for me. No scares, just farcical mayhem. Despite some interesting names -- Bill Moseley and Dennis Hopper, to name but a few -- the film is bonkers in every possible way. Granted, this is the only other film made by Hooper. And Hooper and I disagree about the original film: he claims it's a comedy, I see it as the very opposite of that. Well, he was certainly pushing that comedy agenda with the sequel. I'll give it its climax... sort of.
In truth, I very much prefer the next one, TCM 3, starring Ken Foree and Viggo Mortensen. While far from great, that one at least has some slasher vibes that I think are cool.
But I'll be honest, I've only ever really liked three films in the series: the original, and both Platinum Dunes takes on the story. I guess TCM 3 and that recent Netflix one come second. TCM 2, TCM 4, 3D and Leatherface 2017 are just not good in my opinion.
I was going to give my thoughts, but Dimi summed them up almost perfectly. Though I would break away and place TCM3 along with the original film, the remake, and the prequel to the remake, as the better films.
It's definitely not for everyone, but it's my favorite of the franchise.
At the same time, though, some hidden gems can be found deep inside a series.
Take F13. I, for one, love parts 4, 6 and the delicious FvJ.
If we're talking Freddy, well then parts 4 and New Nightmare are at least as good as the original, IMO.
The original Halloween is hard to beat, IMO, although I would say that H20, Rob Zombie's first film and the 2018 film really rock too.
Hellraiser has an awesome sequel as well, but only Hellbound (and the recent film.)
Scream 5 is not better than Scream, but I like the film even more than I do Scream, believe it or not.
An easy case is Child's Play. That original cannot a candle to Bride Of Chucky, Curse Of Chucky and Cult of Chucky.
I think The Conjuring 2 is scarier than The Conjuring, that Sleepaway Camp 2 is better than Sleepaway Camp, and The Human Centipede Full Sequence is better than The Human Centipede First Sequence. I can keep going...

Clearly the next installment should be Jason going after all the business execs and petty fools who kept him off the big screen for such a long period of time.
Throw in the New Line execs that were too gutless to tell Kane Hodder that he was required any further.
Speaking of fan films, have you lot checked out any of the few recent ones from Friday the 13th and would recommend them? I feel like I've seen a few pop up in the last decade or so but wasn't sure if they were worth the time.
As expected, it's not very scary for the most part, unfortunately, which does make me strongly prefer the original still. But it is very entertaining, with top notch comedy and action and characters that make it all work. The whole set of antagonists is terrific, and I thought Lefty and Stretch made for great protagonists. One of the best aspects too is the scenery; the sets are so cool and everything is so colorful! While I'd definitely give the first a 10/10, I'd still give Part 2 somewhere from a 7 to a 8. It's a little one-note, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun!

Is this for real? Williamson directing, and all?
(I wish Jenna was back...)
It's true! Seems like a really fun return to the origins of the series. I love the idea of those two together again in any fashion.
All things considered they are desperate for Neve to return.
Only after two of their leads were dropped/exited and they finally were forced to pony up the dough she rightfully deserved in the first place. Now they need her more than ever.
Exactly, put's Neve in a very strong position.
Too right. I hope she wound up getting even more than she was originally asking for.
I would not be surprised if Neve gets a bumper pay day, her return may even bump up the box office. I am a fan of the Scream movies I own the first 5 though not rushed to buy the 6th film will wait till it is cheap, I don't think 6 has the rewatchability of the others.
