Horror Prequel Leatherface Unveils Two Terrifying Stills On The Eve Of Release; Plus Watch Eerie Clip

Get the Full StoryHalloween 2017 may belong to Jigsaw, or so Lionsgate would have you believe, but there’s another big-name horror flick ready to swoop into theaters.

Its name? Leatherface, a prequel movie coming by way of Julian Maury and Alexandre Bustillo. Initially released via DirecTV late last month, it’s fair to say that their Texas Chainsaw origin story hasn’t fared particularly well with critics – so far, at least – with our own Matt Donato labeling the spinoff a disappointment.

Nevertheless, with only two days standing between now and Leatherface‘s theatrical debut, the folks at Dread Central have conjured up two terrifying, blood-soaked stills in which our hapless cast begin to get acquainted with the demented Sawyer family. And as if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a nerve-racking clip to peruse. However, the question remains: Who will survive and, dare we say it, what will be left of them?

With an October 20th release on the cards, this is likely the final push before Leatherface hits theaters, so if you’re still struggling to get invested in Julian Maury and Alexandre Bustillo’s bloodied origin story, chances are you’d be best directing your attention to one of Halloween’s other offerings, such as Cult of Chucky, Jigsaw, Amityville: The Awakening, Happy Death Day or, dare we say it, Jeepers Creepers 3.

Here’s the official logline for Leatherface:

In Texas, years before the events of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in the early days of the infamous Sawyer family, the youngest child is sentenced to a mental hospital after a suspicious incident leaves the sheriff s daughter dead. Ten years later, the Sawyer teen kidnaps a young nurse and escapes with three other inmates. Pursued by authorities including the deranged sheriff out to avenge his daughter s death, Sawyer goes on a violent road trip from hell, molding him into the monster now known as Leatherface.

Leatherface slices and dices its way into select theaters on Friday, October 20th.
