The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Marcus Nispel
Starring: Jessica Biel, R. Lee Ermey, Mike Vogel, Eric Balfour, Jonathan Tucker, Erica Leerhsen, Andrew Bryniarski
With all of her friends dead, Erin (Jessica Biel)escapes the abandoned shack and runs to the meat factory, but Leatherface finds her. She escapes the meat factory after chopping off Leatherface's arm. She is picked up by a truck, who then brings her back to the old gas station. Erin leaves the truck and rescues the stolen baby. She hijacks the sheriff's car and runs the sheriff over until he is dead. She then races off down the road in the car (with the baby). The car is chainsawed by Leatherface, but Erin continues to drive. We never really find out if Erin lives or dies. The two cops that were investigating the crime scene at the begining of the movie are killed by Leatherface.

Sheriff Hoyt: You kids shouldn't have messed with that little girl. You brought this all on yourself.
Trivia: During the police video sections of the film you can sometimes hear a camera flashbulb popping and then recharging. This same sound effect was used at the beginning of the original film when we see the decimated corpses being photographed.
Question: What has happened by the time the police footage is shown? After Erin escaped and killed the "Sheriff", police footage of the area is then shown (at the beginning as well), such as the police collecting evidence and filming a walk-through, as if the house has been abandoned for years, but it's only a day after. What has happened to the rest of the Hewitt family (Luda May, Monty, Tea Lady etc.), with the exception of Leatherface who escaped? How did the police only find out about the Hewitts then?
Answer: Erin must have led the police back to the house and then the Hewitt's were taken away so that way evidence could be collected. They must have thought that Leatherface had escaped and was no longer in the house.
