    Brandon from Brightburn was never in any danger.
    1st) The mother was so dumb, she NEVER mentioned to her husband, that Brandon could be hurt from the spaceship. She intentionally kept it from her husband, who would have done what needed to be done.
    2nd) The mother took her time before trying to stab Brandon, with a downright idiotic speech. No wonder he realized she was up to something.

    Why don't you do a list of horror movies where the hero conclusively wins? Such a list will be MUCH harder to put together, because having a twist ending showing the killer/monster/evil coming back is now 100% obligatory in horror movies. The entire crew of the movie gets executed if they don't include a sequel-bait ending.

    The Xenomorphs being caused by an experiment is something that's been canon in the series for a while now, actually. That's not new, it just hasn't come up in the mainstream stuff, being a detail from the novels. The Engineers made the Xenomorphs as an experiment in adaptable bioweapons, almost as a joke because they were just a servitor race before getting put into the deadly Experimental World, where they came out on top. So the Engineers having the goo and such and humans(who had been trying to use the Xenomorphs for research since the first movie anyway) fucking things up and making a new breed is... just how it's always gone.

    RE - Texas Chainsaw: Melody was a fool if she thought that one strike with the chainsaw was going to do in Leatherface. I’m not just saying that from a Horror cliche perspective either, but a practical one as well.
    A chainsaw consists of a conveyor of multiple razor blade shards attached to a chain (hence the name, duh!). In order to really do any substantial damage with said item, a sustained effort is required on the part of the user. Ever seen a lumberjack cutting down a redwood? Then you know how long and arduous it can be. The only reason Leatherface can do what his does with a chainsaw is because of his enormous stature which allows him to wield the heavy machine-tool like claymore.
    With this in mind, Melody’s strike would have only given Leatherface a small albeit painful nick on the chin.
    Considering how much a cut of that nature would sting, you’d think that suddenly Melody would rank pretty high up on his list of least favourite people eh?

As soon as he saw her light the match he should have shut his eyes or turned away or got back in his car and drive off blind, literally ANYTHING but watch her. I get it was probably a "cant pull your eyes away" sort of thing but he still had time before it started. Since he saw it though his best bet is to just skip the torture and get to the end result, preferably while Rose is still burning.
