10 Most Anticipated Horror Films Still To Come In 2017

1. Leatherface

Pennywise It 2017
Lionsgate

Apparently one Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel isn't enough to flesh out the backstory of the series' famed masked lunatic, so Leatherface is about to roll back the years even further.

This origin story will give us three psychopaths for the price of one as it revolves around a trio of maniacs who escape from an asylum with a nurses as their hostage.

The three youngsters will take their captive on the roadtrip from hell, while Stephen Dorff's equally deranged Texas Ranger Hal Hartman is in hot pursuit.

The movie is keeping under wraps which of the trio will become the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface in order to coax the audience into a guessing game. Maybe there'll be a few hints along the way, like an unhealthy obsession with meathooks.

Leatherface will debut in September as a DirectTV exclusive before going on general release the following month via video-on-demand services. It will also receive a limited theatrical run.

Release date: 20 October
