Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4: The Illuminati-based Interpretation

, but then a man named Rothman (who is implied to be an Illuminati agent) later arrives at the house in a limousine wearing a business suit and comes to end it all. He repudiates the family for their “appalling” actions. He claims they were hired to show people the true meaning of horror and are failing at their jobs.

Similar to The Cabin in the Woods, the movie is a parody of slasher films, featuring caricatures of the archetypal horror characters (the slut, the jock, the shy virgin, etc.) and mixes in a secret society to boot. But underneath it’s cheesy, B-movie exterior, this is a film about the Illuminati and worth a second look.

Jenny later escapes from the house being chased by Leatherface and Vilmer. A yellow helicopter (presumably belonging to the Illuminati) swoops overhead and flies towards Vilmer, killing him with the blades. Leatherface screams in terror at the sight of Vilmer’s dead body as Rothman’s limousine stops behind Jenny and she gets in. Rothman informs Jenny that what happened to her was supposed to be a “spiritual experience” and how he was disappointed at the results. He later says “people like us strive for something, a sense of harmony. Perhaps it’s disappointment that keeps us going. Our raison d’être. Unfortunately it’s never been easy for me. One of my many disappointments.”

What kind of “spiritual experience” could result in making a group of teenagers fear for their lives? Does this imply that all of the pain, misery, and chaos in the world is seen as a spiritual experience for the Illuminati? Do they (or the beings they worship) believe they draw positive energy from all of the darkness and destruction?

Is it a coincidence that this film features not one, but two Hollywood megastars before they were famous? Were the family of psychopaths intended to be workers for the Illuminati the entire series or was this just a rather odd addition to the series for this particular film? Evidence shows that people have been trained to commit murders and crimes before by a secret society, so the basis of this film could be rooted in fact.

ati, but this film is different in that it dares to mention them by name. But this film dares to approach the subject from a comedic (dark comedy, yet still comedy) point of view rather than a serious one, so is the intention to present the Illuminati as a joke rather than a subject to be taken seriously? The motives behind this bizarre plot device are unknown, but this movie is more than just a frivolous slasher film. It has a level of truth to it that most other movies only dare suggest.
