Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III * (1990, Kate Hodge, Ken Foree, R.A. Mihailoff, William Butler, Viggo Mortensen) – Classic Movie Review 5987
Three people – a California couple and a survivalist – confront the family of lethally crazy cannibals from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 – Leatherface and his family.

In Jackson’s new story, the friends have to battle a scary array of opponents…

Back to the Future Part III **** (1990, Michael J Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Mary Steenburgen) – Classic Movie Review 1935
