10 Most Anticipated Upcoming Horror Movies
6. Leatherface
Release Date: October
Not to be confused with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, which also told the origin story, Leatherface is a direct prequel to 1974’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre rather than the 2003 reboot or whatever Texas Chainsaw 3D was supposed to be.
What saves it from being consigned to the dustbin of horror prequels is the casting: Lili Taylor (in a role originally earmarked for Angela Bettis) is the matriarch of the infamous Sawyer clan and Stephen Dorff is the unhinged lawman intent on tracking down teenaged Leatherface, who’s just absconded from the loony bin with three other inmates.
The
directors are Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, who made Inside (2007) and
Among The Living (2014). TCM movies aren’t known for skimping on the red stuff,
so here’s hoping those crazy French filmmakers haven’t begun censoring
themselves.
