Leatherface

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Leatherface may wear the skin of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel, but it proves gutless as an origin story and finds little invention in the horror tropes it's cannibalizing.

Leatherface ... falls squarely in the tradition of a series that's failed, movie after movie, to recapture the raw, reptilian power of its first entry. Go to Full Review

Sadly, the makers of Leatherface didn't put enough thought into a sleepy story that could easily be titled 'I Was a Teenage Leatherface.' Go to Full Review

Like the film's punishingly gory set pieces, the storytelling itself is meaty. Go to Full Review

Manages to bring in the extremely unpleasant, unrelenting energy of the New French Extremity horror movement into the United States mostly intact. Go to Full Review

For all the buildup for the big reveal, the ending of Leatherface makes little sense and isn't terribly satisfying, for hardcore fans or otherwise. Go to Full Review

Most egregiously, it attempts to chart a rational evolution of an incomprehensible monster. Go to Full Review

Apr 17, 2019 Surprisingly really good, completely different to the original Texas chainsaw styled films! Very good with different twists! Lots of bizarre styles like them having sex on a dead person and stuff like that, was very random! Excellent acting See more
Kylo R Mar 12, 2019 I kinda liked it... Its not like the other Texas chainsaw movies
Han S Mar 9, 2019 My only problem is that there wasn't enough of the Sawyer family, and there were 2 gratuitous sex scenes (the 2nd being even worse than the 1st, with the dead guy - GROSS), which took up time that could have been spent on more Sawyer scenes or keeping the deleted scenes in the final cut of the movie. Other than that, being that it was quite character-driven (which I prefer in a story), I really liked it! See more
Feb 26, 2019 Although the Leatherface in this movie is not the same one that we all know and love,the movie is still good! Sure this Leatherfaceï¿ 1/2? is not mentally-disabled,nor did he do the chainsaw dance. But as a horror movie about a traumatized kid who wished to be normal but all he gets is an insane cannibal family...it is actually not as bad as the people says. (Iâ(TM)m glad that silly nurse got killed,she had it coming for trying to run away at the wrong time) To me,it is just a new version of the Leatherfaceï¿ 1/2? character. See more
Jan 9, 2019 The dumbass cuts her head off after she helps him through the whole movie... stupid horrible film
Han W Dec 9, 2018 So many good villains and all getting what they deserve. Great Movie!
