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.

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

3/4

Like the film's punishingly gory set pieces, the storytelling itself is meaty.

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

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.

2.5/5

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

This movie is a prequel to the amazing classic, that being said they butcher the Sawyer family here. They make "Bubba" seem like an introverted kind of cool kid completely changing that he is mentally challenged. So why did they make this movie and not care about the backstory or the characters or anything? Money, money talks so they can keep coming up with sh$t sequels. Just skip this one if you're a true fan.

Goofy and Dumb, this movie is actually very good and reveals the story of Leatherface and the Sawyers Is still dumb by the way but at least better than New Generation and 2022 version 8/10

A horror movie that is also constant action & gore. It's so over the top that it was unbelieable. Guess now I'll have to watch the original.
