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

Oaklee D @ODie63 Nov 6 As a stand alone "Natural Born Killers" type of film this could have worked well but as an entry in the Texas Chainsaw franchise it is a major misfire. See more Lou G. @Lou66 Oct 10 It’s Gore to the extreme minus a decent plot and acting. See more Michael P Sep 11 I don’t recall giving consent to watch a twisted psychiatric romance about demented runaways going on a spree. (Clarice is the bane of my existence) See more Johnathan B. @jang103 Aug 11 Greatness version made!!! Yall dont movies couldn’t be made any better then it was smh See more John W Jul 28 This movie is confusing. I don't know who Leatherface was supposed to be until end See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 9 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Read all reviews
