Leatherface was directed by Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo. The screenplay was written by Seth M. Sherwood. The film is based on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre characters created by Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel. It stars Stephen Dorff, Lili Taylor, Sam Strike, Vanessa Grasse, Finn Jones, and Sam Coleman.

While the franchise has a die-hard fanbase, most viewers are celebrating another horror role on Lili Taylor’s very long acting resume. Many people also think the movie is a solid origin story for such an iconic figure as Leatherface.
