In 1974, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” emerged as one of the most influential slasher movies of all time, and Leatherface entered the pantheon of horror villain greats. After the whopping success of Tobe Hooper’s original, seven films have continued its legacy of haunted houses, cannibal families, and yes, lots of chainsaws.
Feb. 18 marks the arrival of another installment, which is a direct sequel to the 1974 original. Directed by David Blue Garcia and scripted by Chris Thomas Devlin, the story picks up 50 years after Sally Hardesty was the sole survivor of a murder spree carried out by Leatherface and his bloodthirsty family. Melody (Sarah Yarkin) and her younger sister Lila (Elsie Fisher) show up to a remote Texas town hoping to turn it into a haven for young influencers and entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, Harlow also happens to be the hometown of Leatherface (Mark Burnham). When he begins terrorizing the new townsfolk, Sally (Olwen Fouéré) comes back to help take him down.
