A relentlessly bleak and visceral reimagining of the iconic slasher origin story, *Leatherface* plunges into the harrowing descent of a young man fractured by abuse and societal neglect. Unlike typical horror road trips, this film focuses less on the chase and more on the suffocating atmosphere of desperation and mounting psychological distress within a makeshift family of escaped mental patients. The narrative unfolds with a raw, documentary-like style emphasizing the brutal realities of poverty and the cyclical nature of violence in rural Texas, transforming a familiar villain’s creation into a disturbingly plausible consequence of trauma. This isn’t a celebration of terror, but a stark and uncomfortable exploration of how monstrous acts are born from profound emotional damage, punctuated by moments of shocking brutality and unsettling tenderness.
