But all these new movies are just focusing on the crazed scary chainsaw dude from the posters and marketing department than what made the actual movies interesting in the first place. If they make a sequel to this one, I hope they add some sort of lost family member or at least an unhinged character to fill that void. Also to stop making the main characters incredibly dumb.

That's good to know. I liked the original, it's probably among the top horror films I've seen, and the remake is by far the best of the modern horror remakes. I thought The Beginning was lackluster but I liked how they filled out the story of the family and the town. I will check out the rest eventually but I think I've seen the best of them. The fact that its a family of killers that sets this series apart from something like Friday the 13th imo. I definitely want the family back in the next one, but I don't think that will happen unless it's another reboot, because if the family is still around why isn't Leatherface with them?

Anyway Sally's

[Show spoiler]death was hilarious. I have to wonder if her arc was intentionally awful, it was identical to Laurie's in Halloween 2018 until that bit. Abrasive Texan was a better written character than her. Probably the best written character in the movie, now that I think about it.
