We’re just a few days away from the release of a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel – the film is set to reach the Netflix streaming service this Friday, February 18th. With the return of Leatherface drawing near, Netflix has shared a quick clip from the film that gives a preview of a scene in which the genre icon goes after a victim in a sunflower field. We’ve seen a bit of this scene in the marketing before, but this clip allows us to take a longer look at it. It also happens to feature the dead body of a victim, so we’ll put a SPOILER warning here, too.
The clip, which is introduced by director David Blue Garcia, can be seen at the bottom of this article.
Scripted by Chris Thomas Devlin (based on a story by producers Fede Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues), this Texas Chainsaw Massacre has the following official synopsis:
After nearly 50 years of hiding, Leatherface returns to terrorize a group of idealistic young friends who accidentally disrupt his carefully shielded world in a remote Texas town.
Melody (Sarah Yarkin), her teenage sister Lila (Elsie Fisher), and their friends Dante (Jacob Latimore) and Ruth (Nell Hudson), head to the remote town of Harlow, Texas to start an idealistic new business venture. But their dream soon turns into a waking nightmare when they accidentally disrupt the home of Leatherface, the deranged serial killer whose blood-soaked legacy continues to haunt the area’s residents — including Sally Hardesty (Olwen Fouéré), the sole survivor of his infamous 1973 massacre who’s hell-bent on seeking revenge.
In addition to the actors mentioned above, the cast includes Moe Dunford, Jessica Allain, Sam Douglas, William Hope, Jolyon Coy, and Alice Krige, with Mark Burnham as genre icon Leatherface. We recently learned that John Larroquette, who narrated the opening text crawl of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (watch it HERE) and was also heard in the remake and the remake’s prequel, has been brought back to narrate the opening of this movie as well.
