comment |
Darker and Edgier: This prequel may arguably be darker than both the original 1974 film and the 2003 remake. Unlike the ending of its predecessor, where Erin and the baby escape, everyone dies in this one and Leatherface gets away with it — leaving no witnesses. |

Bloodier and Gorier: Compared to, well, nearly every other movie in the franchise, but especially the remake that this film serves as the prequel to. Whilst that film had some brutal kills, this one takes the bloodshed to frankly ridiculous levels. |

Anachronism Stew: When Matt Boomer's character is introduced, his character does an homage to Apocalypse Now (which notably featured Dennis Hopper, who had played Lefty Enright in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2). The homage is justified since he is a war vet in 'Nam, but given the film is set years before the actual Apocalypse Now was released boggles the mind. |

Damsel out of Distress: Zigzagged. Bailey needs Eric to untie her during the escape attempt but also makes some game contributions of her own (noticing the keys, finishing untying her feet as Eric retrieved them, helping use a table to push back the Tea Lady into the door and then going for the truck) only to be recaptured, Chrissie escapes on her own after she's caught although she doesn't get far. |

In the end, Dean returns the favor by confessing the truth to save Eric from further torture at Hoyt's hands. |

Bullying a Dragon: The factory workers think it's a great idea to go ahead and taunt Leatherface with his previously mentioned Berserk Button, ignoring the fact the guy was holding a meat cleaver and is far more taller than them. While the workers wisely backed down once he got up and glared at them, the factory owner ended up getting killed later in retaliation for the remarks. |

Leatherface spares the life of a co-worker at the meat-packing plant, despite the fact that said co-worker pushed his Berserk Button by calling him a "dumb animal" while attempting to tell him to leave. It actually looks like he's going to murder the man at first, but then he drops his meat cleaver and just walks away, killing their Bad Boss instead. |

A Real Man Is a Killer: Leatherface/Thomas chases after the Final Girl with his chainsaw, his first murder on behalf of the Hewitt family. Sheriff Hoyt, the closest thing Thomas has to a father figure, stares after him with an expression bordering on paternal love and simply states "There comes a time when every boy becomes a man." |

Pet the Dog: In the opening scene, when Leatherface's mother goes into labor and collapses, one of her co-workers rushes to help her before being viciously pushed aside by their Bad Boss. Leatherface spares the life of a co-worker at the meat-packing plant, despite the fact that said co-worker pushed his Berserk Button by calling him a "dumb animal" while attempting to tell him to leave. It actually looks like he's going to murder the man at first, but then he drops his meat cleaver and just walks away, killing their Bad Boss instead. |

Defiant Captive: All four main characters show some of this towards the Hewitts, although Bailey's is undermined by a rapid and brutal case of Break the Cutie. |
