ReportSynopsis
When Sally hears that her grandfather's grave may have been vandalized, she and her paraplegic brother, Franklin, set out with their friends to investigate. After a detour to their family's old farmhouse, they discover a group of crazed, murderous outcasts living next door. As the group is attacked one by one by the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface, who wears a mask of human skin, the survivors must do everything they can to escape.

One of the taxidermied animals kind of looks like a dog but it's hard to tell.

When a character runs to the gas station, the attendant acts as though he is going to help her and nothing is wrong, when in fact, he is planning to kidnap her.

not in a traditional Slasher film sense, many of the victims end up coming to the killers. the last few kills and the chase scene near the end of the film may be considered stalking, since the killer went to find them

There are two scenes where someone is cut with a razor or knife. The scene around the dinner table involves real cutting as the effect didn't work so Gunnar Hansen removed the tape and did the cut for real. There are also scenes with people and meat hooks, however these are not graphic.

Nobody v* in this movie. If anything, it's not shown. What I believe people are referring to, is when one of the characters find a room filled with bones and coughs pretty hard a few times. According to Tubi, this happens at 38:41 and lasts until 38:50.

I believe the people voting yes are referring to the fact that Leatherface wears different skin masks and changes his gender presentation based on what mask he's wearing. However, he is depicted as mentally disabled and his reasons for this are unclear. It could be interpreted as a form of dissociation.

It’s the usual “good” ending for a slasher, albeit grim. It gets even grimmer if you take the sequel into account (which says that the lone survivor was driven irrevocably insane by the experience)
