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.

Yeah this new one I only liked because it's just so dumb but surprisingly shot well for a low budget movie and had better looking gore in some areas than Texas Chainsaw 3d which spent more money on the 3D than on, you know, the rest. Also while its not the classic Leatherface, I think he was really threatening in this one, not as imposing as the Remake but still creepy.

I wish a spin off that explained what happened in between the 1974 and the 2022 movie is made, but I think two prequel movies in this franchise is enough for most people. The old lady character and abandoned town kinda makes it seem like there was some backstory that can be told without being too convoluted like in the Halloween (Halloween 6) or Friday the 13th series (Jason Goes to Hell). Something basic, but for now this movie sits as just your average dumb slasher flick, an entertaining one tho.
