There were a few sleepless nights, me reading with a flashlight under my covers, wondering if I could call out of work or if I should try to get a few hours of sleep. Unfortunately, paycheck and sleep had to win out.
I am usually disappointed by sequels and the middle slumps in trilogies. Not this one, though. Whereas Chainsaw is a slow-burn, this one is a wildfire. The kills and gore and cupcakes and hair!!! With my thoughts swirling around and my heart racing, I am unsure how I managed to get enough sleep to function.
My only complaint…not a complaint at all, more like an observation…It needs more cowbell.
