Leave your thoughts about Leatherface.
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLeatherface is well-made pulp, not a masterpiece like Hooper’s original. But given what this character means to horror history — and how badly he’s been treated — any upgrade’s a gift. |
| Globe and MailJohn SemleyLike the film's punishingly gory set pieces, the storytelling itself is meaty. |
| SciFiNowAnton Bitelthe film becomes a kind of whodunnit, or whowilldoit, as we try to second-guess which character will eventually put on the skin mask, and come of age from juvenile delinquent to adult family butcher and human meat chef. |
| The Young FolksJim AlexanderOverall, Leatherface feels fresh and different from your standard horror slashers. It's an origin story that's compelling and its own entity. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfNot exactly a sequel, not precisely a prequel, and possibly not remake. "Leatherface" is just 90 minutes of nothingness posing as a scary movie. |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonThe gory carnage is sparingly but vividly staged, the suspense-driven plot twisty enough to tax the brain. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.It's pointless, it's tedious, it's dull, and worst of all, it's lazy. |
| VODzilla.coMatthew TurnerThis Texas Chainsaw prequel lacks the original's terror but gets by on style, strong performances and a bucket or two of the red stuff. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdTo turn Leatherface into a tragic figure, twisted by traumatic upbringing into a monster, is to forget that he’s scariest as a force of nature, which tend to be tough to diagnose. Remember, no one cares what the shark from Jaws was like as a tortured guppy. |
| IGN MoviesWilliam BibbianiLeatherface is the worst Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie ever. |
