10 Horror Movie Villains Who Switched Sides In The Sequel

Texas Chainsaw 3D made the bold if arguably misguided decision to try and reinvent focal killer Leatherface (Dan Yeager) into an anti-hero. 

Though Leatherface spends a good deal of the film cleaving relatively innocent folk in two with reckless abandon, in the latter half of the movie he trains his focus - that is, his chainsaw - on the corrupt cops who massacred his family decades earlier.

This culminates in Leathy teaming up with the movie's protagonist Heather (Alexandra Daddario), who is also revealed to be his cousin. Leatherface kills most of the dirty cops, saves his "cuz" (don't ask), and lives to fight another day - The End.

This fundamental change to Leatherface's persona didn't exactly hit with most fans, and while it certainly didn't help that the movie as a whole was, well, awful, it ultimately felt like the wrong franchise to try and switch things up so radically.

To the surprise of no one, both subsequent Texas Chainsaw movies have kept Leatherface a card-carrying villain, and quite rightly so.
