Leatherface ... falls squarely in the tradition of a series that's failed, movie after movie, to recapture the raw, reptilian power of its first entry.

| Original Score: D | Oct 23, 2017

Sadly, the makers of Leatherface didn't put enough thought into a sleepy story that could easily be titled 'I Was a Teenage Leatherface.'

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 20, 2017

Like the film's punishingly gory set pieces, the storytelling itself is meaty.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 20, 2017

The best horror movies leave the most frightening elements to an audience's imagination. Leatherface is not one of those movies.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 19, 2017

"Leatherface" is the best "Chainsaw" movie that doesn't have "Directed by Tobe Hooper" in the credits.

Some things should just be left alone.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 19, 2017

Directors Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo lay on visual style as thick as the corn syrup used for their buckets of fake blood while Lili Taylor and Stephen Dorff try in vain to lend dignity to the film's lousy, anemic premise.

| Oct 18, 2017

The effect of the film is the same as the deflating effect of explaining a joke; it completely miscalculates the phenomenon of the audience's original reaction.

Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury's anonymous work here could've been overseen by any hipster looking to make a mark at Platinum Dunes.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Oct 15, 2017

An earnest and well-crafted attempt at course-correction, straying from stock slasher recyclage to provide a different story that actually connects a few dots in the very tangled cinematic "Chainsaw" universe to date.

| Sep 24, 2017

The gory carnage is sparingly but vividly staged, the suspense-driven plot twisty enough to tax the brain.
