Guess That Movie: Alternate Movie Description Edition!

I think this will be the last time that I describe a movie here
by plot similarities to another movie.
If you ever saw the black and white Russ Meyers movie
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
it was probably as a stag reel at a bachelor party.
If you're less than 65 years old
then you probably don't know what Stag Film means.


Description:
Heroine's boyfriend is murdered early in the film by a serial killer.
She finds herself being held captive
in a house inhabited by a family of men,
the oldest of which is wheelchair bound;
the two youngest are brothers,
one of which is physically powerful but mentally diminished.
She escapes from the house and gets help from the first
person she meets.
He turns out to be a member of the family whom she hadn't
met yet and so doesn't recognize,
and he returns her back to the house in his pickup truck.
She gets away again finally.
Despite having no foul language and no frontal nudity,
the film rates high on the depravity meter and is a cult classic.

The movie I am thinking of
is in color
and is not about a gang of strippers run amok,
but does match the above Description.

Actually in the movie that I am thinking of,
she had met the person who drove her back to the house,
but she didn't know that he was a member of the family.

Hint:

it's got to be The Texas Chainsaw Massacre! That brings back a lot of memories as I was too young to see it, but my older brothers were not. They came back from the movie with stories about people puking it was so intense.

Winner!

After a movie has been made and remade and spawned countless
sequels, prequels, equals, and a Geico commercial,
the original is the only one that matters.


Sometimes a low budget forces compensatory creativity.

When you finish a puzzle which is missing only one piece, then
you know the exact shape of that piece, and that is the only
piece that you remember the shape of.
I remembered scenes which were never filmed.

I remember seeing the chainsaw stab into Franklin's belly
and tear up through his ribcage.
That's what happened to Franklin, but
that is not shown in the movie.
 
Okay, in keeping with the season:
Over protective mother has trouble distinguishing which people are responsible for her child's "death." Decides her only recourse is to sabotage her employer's place of business.

both guesses wrong, but it does make me think the story to this 80's slasher was a bit deeper than I at first figured.
 
Okay, final hint: This movie spawned a long series and a reboot to boot, but none of it followed the pattern of the first movie, rather opting for a story that literally negates the first movie plus the iconic look didn't happen until the 3rd installment.

Our evil protagonist plans "one last heist" before retiring from a life of crime. To do this, one of his henchmen must shoot a horse, and while the robbery is initially successful, the bad guys fall our amongst themselves and the protagonist and his girlfriend must flee on their own, but end up not getting on the getaway plane. After all, "what's the difference?"
