10 Horror Movies Where You Wanted EVERYONE To Die

2022's mostly wretched Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel certainly does a bang-up job of making the audience simply root for nothing but the brutal death of everyone who appears on-screen.

Even with protagonist Lila (Elsie Fisher) being the traumatised survivor of a school shooting, it's still tough to root for her because she's so flagrantly uninteresting, and her backstory feels so woefully tacked-on.

Elsewhere the young protagonists demonstrate so little basic survival instinct that there's nothing to do here but cheer for Leatherface (Mark Burnham) every time he corners one of them.

And it'd be remiss to ignore the infamous sequence where Leatherface climbs aboard a bus, only for most of those onboard to start filming him with their phones, before one hilariously warns him, "Try anything and you're cancelled, bro." Naturally, it doesn't go well for them.

Hell, even bringing back original franchise heroine Sally Hardesty (Olwen Fouéré) can't engender much survivor support, given that she ends up feeling like a discount Laurie Strode who doesn't even take the perfect opportunity to kill Leatherface when she has it.

When she died, not a care was had.
