The first red-band trailer for the prequel to The Texas Chains Saw Massacre, Leatherface, has landed courtesy of Bloody Disgusting. The film will debut in cinemas later in the year, directed by French filmmaking duo Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo.
In Leatherface, Jessica Madsen plays one of four inmates (Sam Coleman, Sam Strike, James Bloor) who escapes from a mental hospital. One of them becomes the title character and iconic slasher. The quartet kidnaps a young nurse (played by Vanessa Grasse) and takes her on a road trip from hell. Along the way, they are pursued by an equally deranged lawman (Stephen Dorff) out for revenge. The Conjuring‘s Lili Taylor is Verna Sawyer.
Maury and Bustillo are the duo behind the slasher masterpiece Inside (À l’intérieur), as well as Livide and Among the Living. Leatherface lands Stateside on October 20th, 2017, and in the UK at next month’s FrightFest where we expect to bag a full review.
