20 Greatest Horror Movie Deaths Of The 2020s (So Far)
8. Melody - Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)
Netflix's legacy sequel to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre may have been a big ol' hot mess, but it at least remained firmly committed to its mean-spiritedness from start to grisly finish.
Case in point, the film ends with sisters Lila (Elsie Fisher) and Melody (Sarah Yarkin) seemingly triumphing over Leatherface (Mark Burnham), who they attack with his own trusty chainsaw and leave him floating in a pool of filthy water.
But just as Lila and Melody flee the scene in their car, Leatherface returns, smashes one of the car's windows, drags Melody out and then decapitates her with his chainsaw while Lila looks on in absolute terror. The End.
Between the fact that we never cut away from Melody as the chainsaw is run through her neck, and that her sister is an already-traumatised school shooting survivor who has to witness this, it's one of the meanest final kills in basically any horror movie ever.
