The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was released in 1974 and claimed to be based on a true story. The movie quickly cemented itself as a classic. Which meant, of course, a barrage of sequels and prequels followed. The latest film, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, was released on Netflix this year.

There are some problems with this film such as how easily Sally Hardesty died. There were also some things the film did well such as Lila. The character is one of the few given a backstory and has a very satisfying character arc. It is Lila that I want to focus on today.
