They can't get much out of her, but after she states that the others are dead, she commits suicide in their van. Unsure of what to do, the group stops and calls for the local sheriff. They end up apparently getting the run-around and are then told where to find him. As Erin and Kemper head off on foot and arrive at a desolate farmhouse, Sheriff Hoyt (R. LEE ERMEY) shows up where the others are awaiting.
With a dark sense of humor, he investigates the suicide scene, but doesn't seem too intent on enforcing the law as they would expect. He eventually turns rather mean and sadistic toward them, but that's not the worse they'll face. For a homicidal madman, Thomas "Leatherface" Hewitt (ANDREW BRYNIARSKI), is after them, chainsaw in hand.
From that point on, the group must do what they can to survive and avoid becoming part of the killer's collection of bodies and body parts.
Violence consists of various people being wounded or killed (often with very graphic and bloody results), an extremely graphic suicide (and its bloody/gory aftermath), some fighting and threatening. Those scenes and others (including various "boogeyman" chase ones, related frights, "jump scenes" and other scenes of gore) may be disturbing, suspenseful or even scary to some viewer (mostly younger ones or those with low tolerance levels for such mayhem).
Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, while some of the young people smoke pot (and we hear that they brought back two pounds of it from Mexico). Some brief drinking, smoking and other imitative behavior is also present.
