"Leatherface" is complete dogshit. It stains the name of Tobe Hooper's original classic. Blood, guts and body parts are flying everywhere, but it still didn't stop me from checking the time once in awhile, even with the Natural Born Killer rejects chewing up the scene time.

I hated the characters as well. I know your suppose to, because they awful human beings, I get that. However, what's worse is when these dirty inbreds get what they deserve, the movie tries to make you feel bad for them with the deaths scenes coming off as sad moments. This feels a like a straight to DVD or a shitty Netflix movie.

Alright I'm done talking about this. My boredom and lack of interest questions why this exist in the first place. Please don't watch it. End of review.

.....ssssssiiiiiiigggggghhhhh...and I was looking forward to this one.... Pppppphhhhhffffrrrtttt!!!

An incredibly ugly and gruesome horror film, Leatherface is a needless prequel that accomplishes nothing. After being committed to a children’s psychiatric hospital Jed Sawyer breaks out during a riot with three of his fellow patients who have taken a nurse hostage and are making a run for Mexico, and leading the hunt for their capture is a rogue sheriff whose daughter was killed by the Sawyers. The performances are rather underwhelming; even seasoned actors Lili Taylor and Stephen Dorff aren’t able to do much with the material. And the violence is excessively gory and the tone is really dark. One of the worst entries in the franchise, Leatherface fails to reenergize the series or provide a satisfactory origin to this classic horror character.

Completely unnecessary origin story. Horror directors need to be careful with such material - show us sympathy for the monster, and we take away the monster. Leatherface, like Jason and Michael Myers, is a far more scary proposition when known as a faceless beast. A backstory ruins the scares, and such is the case here. Best forgotten, like many of the sequels/prequels/reboots this franchise has spawned.

Finally a decent damn horror movie! This was fun! Lots of action and blood and gore. Just like there should be! And assuming it's canon, it seems right on. Really enjoyable flick. The only real issue I had is a couple of places where the effects were...underwhelming.

It's good to know the origin story of how leatherface became and there's a few moments in the film that made me think leatherface could of not exited and his mind would of changed but that's an alternative story but It's very interesting. IMDB give this film a rating of 5 but i feel It's an underrating and deserves a 6.5/10 because over all it was a good film.

I'm sure this was written a s a natural born killers rip-off, then someone said, 'we'll give you money, if you turn it into a pointless leatherface backstory.. make him more [spoiler] like Michael Myers' [/spoiler].
Also, it's supposed to be the 50's , but it's more like it's happening during a 50's convention. Some very good makeup effects, but some rather poor. The opening credits show a vast amount of great talent produced/ or exec produced this, but I doubt they did more than stamp a cheque.
only good thing was [spoiler] Dorf's [/spoiler] death.. I think he captured what it would look like to die that way (or he was just bored)

The best part of this movie is Iron Fist getting eaten by pigs. So much for being immortal.

Despite all of the endless amounts of movie on the infamous Leatherface, this one is a new part of the plot that is appreciated, as it shows the audience the beginnings of Leatherface from adolescence, yet it doesn't show much till the very end. The surprising thing is that amongst the main cast of teenage misfits the one who turns out to be Leatherface is not at all who you expected and therefore the film seems to not be much about Leatherface at all and then it all gets crammed in at the end. The plot development and character development were really good though.

awesome origin story I'm super sad bud died though.

Not something that I would watch again. Not because I got scared, but because it was meh. pointless. not as riveting as the original one.

It's got a good cast and decent production value. But I can't recommend it. I was pretty bored throughout.

A well-made origin story that has a lot of interesting ideas to offer. It's certainly different and the filmmakers deserve credit for trying something new. But I think it could've been a better film without shoehorning Leatherface name. The film has Bustillo and Maury's style embedded in it but still manages to pull of the sweaty feeling of the 1974 film and it doesn't hold back with the violence and gore. There is a big whodunnit element to this film, as we guess which of the group going on the rampage is going to end up as the titular character. For a film that doesn't feel necessary, the overall product is surprisingly decent. It may offer very little on dread or scares, but the mystery aspect and huge amounts of splatter make this film worth your time. Again, it's not a good Leatherface film, but it is a decent horror as long as you look at it as being a separate entity from the Leatherface franchise. Now I'm ready for Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)!
