The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a grindhouse horror hit when it was first released back in 1974, shocking audiences with the stomach-churning tale of a dysfunctional family of deranged hillbilly cannibals living in the Lone Star state.

The R-rated fright flick became legendary for its bloody, unflinching terror and created an instant icon in the character of Leatherface, who paraded around in a macabre mask made of stitched-up human skin while menacing innocent folks with a buzzing chainsaw. This low-budget classic has spawned a number of sequels and remakes over the years, most recently 2013’s Texas Chainsaw 3D and the 2017 prequel origin story, Leatherface.

Now Texas Chainsaw Massacre has been adapted into an upcoming feature film on Netflix that promises more Texas-style sacrificial slaughter and a return appearance of Leatherface.

So gas up the chainsaw and let’s unpack all the details for this ravenous new reboot!
