Texas Chainsaw Massacre ends on a rather jarring note, all the while paving the way for a sequel setup for the future.
Things, of course, start going downhill on their arrival, especially after Dante and Melody encounter a woman at the Harlow Orphanage, who claims to still own the property after the bank reclaiming it.
This is the catalyst for the events that fuel Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which triggers the return of Leatherface and the bloody massacres that accompany him.
The ending of the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is pretty unforgettable, given that it captures the raw, chilling anguish of Leatherface after Sally manages to get away from him. There are some extremely tense sequences in which Leatherface chases after a traumatized Melody, who barely survives the encounter by sheer chance.
Lila shoots Leatherface with a gun, but the masked cannibal is still freakishly strong, overtaking her quickly and intending to kill her. However, Melody arrives at the opportune moment, wounding Leatherface with his own chainsaw, which throws him back into a shallow pool of water, and he presumably drowns. However, does Leatherface really die?
The answer is a distinct no. The arrival of Melody and her friends disrupt this year long hiatus from killing, and the death of Virginia which is frankly accidental pushes Leatherface to the edge, reigniting his urge to massacre everyone in his way. This time, he kills of his own accord as opposed to being ordered around by anyone, and the motive seems to be revenge, although he might still be indulging in his cannibalistic tendencies.
Similar to how Leatherface chases Sally through the woods, his own house, and the stretch of the road relentlessly like a hunter stalking his prey, he does the same to Melody and Lila in the current installment. While no explicit backstory is provided for Sally, it is known that she became a ranger after the incident, plunging herself into law enforcement, vowing to never be a victim of someone like Leatherface again.
Sally spent roughly 50 years hunting Leatherface, vowing to take revenge for what he did to her friends and family. Encountering Leatherface after all these years, she is baffled by the fact that he barely remembers her. This is an especially infuriating and heartbreaking moment: what is an eternal nightmare for the traumatized is simply a random day for the aggressor, one that is not even worth remembering. While Sally holds her own against Leatherface, she is killed rather brutally and tossed aside.
However, before dying, she tells Lila that if she does not end this cycle now, it will haunt her forever, which is partly what prompts her to go after Leatherface alone. While Lila and Melody seem to survive in the end, on the verge of driving away to safety, Leatherface appears out of nowhere, grabbing Melody and decapitating her head on the spot.
A screaming and traumatized Lila witnesses this while the car drives away on autopilot, a reversal of the original ending, even if she is the final girl here.
The fact that Leatherface is not dead is the perfect setup for a sequel, as the trail of bodies in Harlow are bound to lead the cops there soon.
Will Leatherface go into hiding again or go about killing more people now? Although Lila makes it to safety, she is an already-traumatized girl having survived a school shooting and a massacre, and losing her sister is the last straw in terms of her emotional safety and mental health. Whether a sequel will be greenlit remains to be seen, but this particular sequel lacks the raw appeal of the original on all fronts. Interestingly, Netflix's Texas Chainsaw Massacre also contains a post-credits scene, which is essentially present in order to set up the narrative for a sequel.
In this extremely short sequence, a wounded Leatherface is seen limping along a dirt road, with his handy chainsaw still in his hand. Leatherface is heading towards the old Sawyer family house of the original, wherein he used to live with his cannibalistic family and carry out murders as per their wishes.
This sure does make thematic sense, as Leatherface is now a man without a mission, having lost his only caregiver Virginia, and brutally killed the last of the youngsters at Harlow except Lila, who might just be back for vengeance. As Leatherface's identity as a killer is intimately tied to the Sawyer family home, whose walls are adorned with the bones of those they killed, and the memories of torturing innocent souls, him heading back to where it all started makes his next steps crystal clear.
Whoever dares trespass on what he deems as his own, should watch out for their backs, as Leatherface seems to be regressing back to who he always was: a dangerous, depraved killer.
