Leatherface is a 2017 American horror film directed by Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, written by Seth M. Sherwood and starring Stephen Dorff, Vanessa Grasse, Sam Strike and Lili Taylor.[3] It is the eighth film in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise (TCM), and works as a prequel to 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, explaining the origin of the series' lead character.[4][5][6]

Following the financial success of Texas Chainsaw 3D, a sequel went into development from director John Luessenhop for a planned shoot in Louisiana, but failed to receive the greenlight to move forward. In favour of avoiding the convoluted continuity of the previous films whilst going in an unexpected direction, Seth M. Sherwood pitched Leatherface to the studio as a prequel that would follow the titular character in a mentally competent state, enduring trauma that transforms him into the intellectually disabled murderer seen in the previous films. Maury and Bustillo signed on as directors after reading the screenplay, impressed with what they found to be a unique take on the long-running franchise. The film will follow the canon established by The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Texas Chainsaw 3D, chronologically taking place before the two films.

Principal photography took place in Bulgaria in May and June of 2015, with locations and sets chosen for their resemblance to the Texas terrain and as homage to the series' previous films. The film was made exclusive via DirecTV on September 21, 2017, before receiving a wider release on Video on demand and limited theaters, simultaneously, in North America on October 20, 2017.

Plot summary

Leatherface is a prequel to 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre that revolves around the mystery of which of the teenage psychopaths introduced will ultimately become the chainsaw wielding killer known as Leatherface,[7] as they escape with a nurse from a mental institution with a revenge-stricken lawman in pursuit.[8]

Cast

Additionally, Julian Kostov portrays Ted Hardesty in the film, the father of Sally Hardesty and Franklin Hardesty from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Although his role is brief, there was originally going to be an additional scene exploring his family that was removed for budgetary reasons.[18] Nubbins Sawyer, the older brother of Leatherface known simply as "The Hitchhiker" in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, is played by Dejan Angelov.[18][19]

Production

Concept and development

"In a way, there is nothing behind the mask. That, I think, is why he is such a frightening character. The reason he wore a mask, according to Tobe and Kim, was that the mask really determined his personality. So, when the Cook comes home with Sally, Leatherface is wearing the "Old Lady" mask and his wearing an apron; he wants to be domestic. At dinner he wears a different face -- the "Pretty Woman," which has make up. Behind the mask, really, Leatherface was very simple -- he killed anything that came along, he obeyed his brothers, he loved his Grandpa."[20]

—Actor Gunnar Hansen on Leatherface's characterisation

In January 2013, it was revealed that due to the success of Texas Chainsaw 3D, Millennium Films began planning a sequel film to be called Texas Chainsaw 4 which was expected to begin filming later in 2013 in the state of Louisiana.[21][22][23][21] Millennium Films Chairman Avi Lerner stated that the project was brought to him by Christa Campbell and Lati Grobman and that Millennium had signed on to produce, with Lionsgate distributing the finished product.[23][24][23] Executive producer Mark Burg clarified that the sequel was prematurely announced and had not been authorised, "The rights are controlled by Carl and Main Line Pictures, no matter what Millennium says. Millennium simply sold the foreign rights and they will not tell us when a sequel is ready to be made. The script was developed by Carl, myself and writer/director John Luessenhop. Maybe they're looking for something to sell at Berlin, but they have no right to announce this sequel."[25] The idea for a prequel came when Seth M. Sherwood was given the chance to pitch the film to the studio. Dissatisfied with the inconsistencies of the franchise's continuity, he opted to make a Chainsaw film that wasn't just another sequel to the original: "My pitch was always about doing it completely out of left field and making it different. The first thing I said to Millennium was 'I bet I can tell you what everybody else is pitching you and it’s X-Y-Z, but I want to do 1-2-3', and luckily, that's the direction they were interested in going as well."[26] The script was approached as a story of identity, based on the statements given by Tobe Hooper and Gunnar Hansen on how the character Leatherface is entirely devoid of personality beyond the masks he wears and what his family commands him to do.[27] Sherwood chose not to have Leatherface be born as intellectually disabled, finding the story of a functional person that has their mental capabilities reduced to be more fascinating.[28] Producer Les Whedon detailed the reasoning behind accepting Sherwood's pitch: "What interested and enticed us about this production was the fact that we were presented with an opportunity to re-invent the franchise. It was the opportunity to almost go behind-the-scenes into the beginning of how Leatherface was created. What happened? Who is Leatherface and how did the whole character come to be?"[29] Despite the film's explanatory premise, co-director Julien Maury found it important to maintain some of the lead character's mystique, referring the project simply as "moments from his young years."[30]

Pre-production

On August 13, 2014, Seth M. Sherwood was announced to write the film,[4][31] under the title Leatherface.[6] On October 31, 2014, Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo were hired to direct the film,[32] who admired its distinction in narrative with the series' previous installments:[33] "When we first received the script, of course it's not everyday that you have the opportunity to see Leatherface on the front page and we were very surprised, in a good way, that the script was taking a different path, and it's quite original." Producer Whedon elucidated that the directors were chosen because their "perfect vision" and their "edge to their storytelling".[29] In March and April 2015, Sam Strike, James Bloor, Stephen Dorff, and Jessica Madsen joined the cast, respectively.[12][16][9][17] On May 5, 2015, Lili Taylor was publicised to replace Angela Bettis, who dropped out due to a scheduling conflict.[13] According to Taylor, "What attracted me to Leatherface was really talking with the directors. When they told me they wanted to do something that was a cross between Terrence Malick, like Badlands, and The Virgin Suicides, I thought 'I'm there' because what I love is this stuff that's happening with people pushing a genre as far as they could push it and it's exciting to me."[29] On May 6, 2015, Vanessa Grasse joined the cast to play Lizzy, a young nurse at a mental hospital.[11]

Filming

Principal photography began on May 18, 2015,[34] shooting on locations in Bulgaria.[35][36] The Bulgaria location was used for budgetary reasons, as Millennium Films had a studio in the area. To accommodate the 1960s era in which the film is set, cars modeled after that of the period were sent to the filming areas. Sites were also chosen for an aesthetic of wild, open fields and scrubs that resemble the Texas landscape. Seth M. Sherwood likened the film's visual style to that of an art film, comparing it to "Badlands with gore". In addition to the brutal murders in the screenplay, additional kills were inserted by directors Bustillo and Maury during filming, with the creation of Leatherface's first flesh-mask cited by Sherwood as his personal favourite. Practical effects were primarily used to bring the killings, corpses, and gore to life; much of the budget was spent on building a realistic cow carcass. The crew utilised computer-generated imagery as necessary, albeit to a much lesser extent.[37] Leatherface was made intentionally graphic in response to fan criticisms of Texas Chainsaw 3D lacking sufficient violence.[38] Lati Globman said on the matter, "Gore is not always the point in horror movies, although there will be plenty, it needs to be psychologically challenging and twisted."[39] While five of the TCM franchise's seven films have been shot in Texas, one in California and one in Louisiana, Bulgarian filming marks the first time one was been shot outside the United States. Filming continued through June 2015,[40] lasting a sum of twenty-seven days.[30]

Sherwood wrote some of the film's locations into the script as homage to Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III. As Sherwood explains, "The original Leatherface, Chainsaw 3, took the idea of the backwoods isolation of the original and exploded it tenfold. I always think of the locations of this film—the scrub brush filled badlands and remote roadside outposts as feeling like another world—a dark fairy tale land in some way. I filled my story with similar locations to hopefully capture a similar vibe." The fictional Sawyer farm is a key location in Leatherface,[19] which was rebuilt to accurately resemble its appearance in the first Texas Chain Saw Massacre.[39] The farm was originally going to be used sparingly, until Sherwood discussed the matter with directors Maury and Bustillo. Sherwood stated, "Developing the script with the directors was actually just super-easy. We knew what we wanted to do from the start, and they got it and they were right along with me. I didn't have the farmhouse a lot and they were like 'If we are going to build the set and this is the famous farmhouse, we should use it' and I totally agreed with that. And so we moved the third act, mostly taking place at the farmhouse." The Sawyer homestead was adduced by cinematographer Antoine Sanier as being particularly rousing to film: "It's a real house that has been shot many times, but we cannot see it very well [in the previous films]. It's always a little bit hidden or dark, so it was really impressive to get into this process and also to be a link to the other guys that have been shooting this kind of set."[29]

Continuity

Serving as a direct prequel to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Leatherface was written by Seth M. Sherwood to also act as a prelude to the series as a whole. Sherwood intentionally distanced the film from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake and its prequel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, while respecting the fictional events of the original film and its various sequels. Leatherface's characterisation is based on Gunnar Hansen's performance from the original film. Certain character names, such as Drayton, Nubbins, and the Sawyer surname, were pulled from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. The creation of the deranged lawman Hal Hartman was inspired by Lefty Enright, a Texas Ranger that appeared in the second film, while Clarice was originally conceived as a tribute to Chop Top Sawyer. Hal Hartman is the father of Burt Hartman, a vigilante character that first appeared in Texas Chainsaw 3D. The character Verna Sawyer (Lili Taylor) was played by Marilyn Burns in Texas Chainsaw 3D.[19] Sherwood confirmed that the Texas Chainsaw film canon followed by Lionsgate Pictures and Millennium Films consists of, chronologically, Leatherface, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Texas Chainsaw 3D: "While there’s plenty of things for fans, one could also go into [Leatherface] blind as their first TCM film and effectively see the beginning of the story."[28]

Release

Leatherface was originally slated for a 2016 release,[41] which it did not meet. Despite having reached completion, it was temporarily shelved by Lionsgate Films.[18] Sherwood speculated that the studio might have been afraid that they wouldn't make back their investment after another film underperformed, but admitted that he had no concrete explanation for the delay:[37] "In a strange way, I started to romanticize the idea it became some legendary lost film. It would be coveted – something spoken about, something people would try to contrive some way of seeing, something that would show up on a tired unused media at a convention in 50 years."[28]

In May 2017, producer Christa Campbell stated that the film would be released in October 2017.[1] The motion picture premiered at FrightFest 2017 on August 25,[2] followed by an exclusive release through the DirecTV satellite service on September 21, and wide distribution via Video on demand and a limited theatrical run coinciding on October 20.[42][43][44] It was also selected as programming for the 2017 Screamfest Horror Film Festival, which will run from October 10, 2017, to October 19 at the TCL Chinese Theatre.[45]

Critical response

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Leatherface received an approval rating of 67% based on 9 reviews, and an average rating of 6/10.[46]

Stephen Dalton of The Hollywood Reporter referred to the film as as "a respectful origin story for the long-running Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror franchise" and also complemented the performances of Stephen Dorff and Lili Taylor.[47] Bloody Disgusting gave it a 3.5/5 score, saying that "Bustillo and Maury have made the best TCM film in quite some while. The fact that Leatherface avoids the slasher playbook in its road movie set-up may alone be enough to explain the lack of a wide theatrical release, but this is an entertaining splatter film well worth a digital rental."[48]

Rating the film 4/5 stars, Eye for Film commented that "Of all the films in the Texas Chainsaw series, this is probably the least gory, a fact that will no doubt disappoint some fans. It certainly has its moments and those disturbed by gore should still approach it with caution, but it's nothing like as gratuitous as much of what has gone before. Events happen to serve the story more than the theme. Horror is found in different places."[49] Staci Wilson of Dread Central wrote that "Not to say I loved Leatherface - It’s far too disgusting for my taste (I'm okay with gore, but there's some gooey necrophilia in this flick that I felt was just thrown in for the ick of it), and there are too many plot holes. Still, it's a very well made film, the cinematography is gorgeous, and the acting is aces across the board", giving a final verdict of 3/5 stars.[50] Anton Bitel of SciFiNow appraised, "In spite, or perhaps because, of all the splatter and excess, this still does not come close to the elusively non-explicit horrors of the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, even as it serves as their grim rites of passage. If 'Nobody messes with our family' is the ultimate message, then Maury and Bustillo certainly maintain a respectful continuity to reunite the old clan, as Jed pieces together his future identity from the different influences around him."[51] For being what he called "the most entertaining and pleasing TCM film since 1974's classic", ComingSoon.Net writer Jerry Smith gave the prequel a positive review. He assessed that "Do we really need yet another horror icon origin story and if so, would the explanation be anything we haven't seen before? The answers to these questions are quite refreshing", contrasting the origin story given to that of Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning as having been able to "acknowledge what came before it without ever seeming like a wink-wink to the previous films in the series".[52] V.O.D.zilla's Matthew Turner assigned a 6.2 rating, opining "This Texas Chainsaw prequel lacks the original's terror but gets by on style, strong performances and a bucket or two of the red stuff."[53]

In a negative review, Flickering Myth critiqued that "Some stories just don’t need telling, and Leatherface is one of them. It's not that it retcons elements of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre mythology, or that it's a 'pointless prequel' – it's just an empty movie. You'll have forgotten you've seen it as soon as the credits roll. Prequels, sequels and remakes can all enrich a story and tell it from a new perspective, but Leatherface just doesn’t do that."[54]Screen International called the film "a production line effort with an eye on cashflow rather than the demented work of art Hooper loosed on the world", stating "this eighth entry is above average for its attenuated series. Gore levels are as high as expected and, naturally, the finale leaves things open for further installments."[55] Regarding the film's viewer appeal, HeyUGuys theorised, "Not only is this prequel attempting to deliver something fans of the series don't necessarily want, it doesn't really do what it promises particularly well either. One for completists for sure, but on the whole Leatherface is too detached for TCM fans, and too extreme for the wider public."[56] William Bibbiani of IGN ranked it as the worst Texas Chainsaw Massacre film because "it adds nothing new or interesting to the series. The problem is not just that this film is a prequel, so we know exactly where it’s going, but that the road to the inevitable takes us through almost unbearably familiar territory. It honestly looks as though the filmmakers who made Leatherface didn't watch the original films, but watched all of the films that ripped off The Texas Chain Saw Massacre instead."[57] Film critic Rob Gonsalves reviewed that "Hooper's Chainsaw is often imitated, never duplicated (or bested, say I), a sui generis sweatbox odyssey that seems to owe nothing to any other film before it. Leatherface feels properly respectful, made by filmmakers who idolize the original, and that’s also its weakness: it's a jumped-up fan film, and because it's meant to be a prequel to Hooper's movie it's locked into whatever happens in that movie. It can't deviate from what we know, and can't truly surprise us."[58]
