50 Infuriating Horror Movie Characters We All Secretly Wanted To Die

Here's another 2022 horror movie that took aim at Gen-Z but, unlike Bodies Bodies Bodies, this didn't do it in the right way.

2022's Texas Chainsaw Massacre legacy sequel sees a group of Gen-Z entrepreneurs heading to a mostly abandoned Texan town in order to buy and gentrify it. Much like the characters in the aforementioned Bodies, these self-centred, entitled, virtue-signalling A-holes surmise all the worst parts of Gen-Z, but it's done without the biting wit and dark comedy of Bodies Bodies Bodies. They're insufferable without being fun to watch. 

Early in the film, they forcibly evict a woman named Ginny (Alice Krige) from the orphanage she runs, which they want to renovate, and this argument leads to Ginny having a fatal heart attack, devastating the man who was also living there. And that man turns out to be none other than an ageing Leatherface, who dusts off his old chainsaw and gets back to old habits. Nice one, idiots. 

The film's Final Girl Lila (Elsie Fisher) is more sympathetic, but her sister, their friends, and the other entrepreneurs are exaggeratedly grim individuals. At one point, Leatherface enters a party bus with his chainsaw, and all the young people raise their mobile phones, with one of them literally saying, "Try anything and you're cancelled, bro." What?! 

This movie seems to be encouraging its audience to cheer as these youngsters are dismembered by Leatherface, which is why many viewers found it to be such an off-puttingly mean-spirited work.
