![]() Of course, he's floating, and of course, she doesn't finish him off. After Lila and Melody face-off with Leatherface, Melody hits him with his saw, and he falls into the water below. With Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022), the creators bring Sally Hardesty back so that she can get thrown around like a rag doll and Lila can obtain her shotgun. So if Dante had just left the flag alone and accepted Ginny's old ways, none of this would have happened? It's a bit of an odd message. It's even stated later that she still owned the house, and Dante was in the wrong. This confrontation leads to Ginny having a heart attack, inspiring Leatherface's rampage. When the lone African-American member of the group, Dante, sees a Confederate flag waving above a house, he confronts the owner, Ginny, demanding she leaves as he now owns the land. The locals warn them of respecting the town and their ways, but they don't listen, leading to one of the film's most confusing statements. The four teens in this sequel are millennials from Austin, Texas, traveling in their self-driving Tesla to showcase the small Texas town of Harlow to investors in hopes of gentrifying it and turning it into a mini-Austin. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) tries to tackle two of the issues of our time, albeit it is in very confusing ways with gun violence and political correctness. With few other skills and little education/gas shortages hampering their fuel depot, the Sawyers found themselves victims of the idle mind, praying on others to obtain wealth, meat, and purpose. Why was it okay to see actual carnage from the first televised war but not to see fictional violence criticizing actual violence? The dangers of unemployment to a psyche were also shown, as the Sawyers were butchers at a local slaughterhouse, laid off by technical automation. In a way, TCM (1974) challenged what was acceptable in terms of censors. ![]() This was a reflection of the war at the time when the nation's youth were vanishing in Vietnam to die gruesome deaths. In TCM (1974), a group of teens begins to vanish one by one, being killed in some of the most brutal ways possible with hammer and chainsaw. The nation was still recovering from the carnage in Vietnam, and the employment rate was at 7.2 percent, the highest since 1941, where it was 9.9 percent. Two of the most important messages from TCM (1974) were related to the apocalyptic uncertainty of '70s America. Each character accents one another perfectly, whereas, in Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022), you're left with only Leatherface, whose only motivation seems to be anger. Grandpa is a hundred-year-old man who can barely move and is sustained by human blood, while The Hitchhiker is a mentally impaired and eccentric man who loves pain and fear. Drayton, owning a gas station, plays the part of a kind proprietor, but beneath this is a penchant for savagery, hiding in plain sight. Ignoring TCM 2, even if his family did pass away, why would a grown man be placed in an orphanage? Drayton Sawyer, Grandpa, and The Hitchhiker could be argued to be more terrifying than Leatherface himself. ![]() In TCM (1974), Leatherface isn't an orphan but a member of a family of former butchers known as the Sawyers. When Leatherface cuts Ginny's face off and puts it on his own, it feels as though it's an origin story and not a continuation. ![]() Even though this is supposed to be the same Leatherface who went toe-to-toe with Sally Hardesty in the original TCM, it appears odd that the motivation for his rage seems to be birthed at the moment when Melody (Sarah Yarkin) and Dante (Jacob Latimore) upset his adopted mother so much she has a heart attack. With TCM (2022), Leatherface is given an entirely new family backstory, as a kid who grew up in an orphanage and was eventually raised by one of the orphanage caretakers, Ginny (Alice Krige). His character is entirely different, but so is the surrounding family. Still, Leatherface does not age, he's not deformed anymore, and his multiple personalities have vanished and been replaced by an undefeatable brute, more like Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) is a sequel to the original. ![]()
