A new entry in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise is set to be released through the Netflix streaming service on February 18th, and today a poster has arrived online to give us a somewhat obscured look at the flesh-mask that iconic slasher Leatherface will be wearing in this installment. You can see Leatherface hanging out on a pleasant country evening in the poster at the bottom of this article.
Along with the poster comes the announcement that a new trailer for Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be released on Monday, so keep an eye out for that!
Directed by David Blue Garcia from a screenplay by Chris Thomas Devlin (based on a story by producers Fede Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues), this film 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. We just heard yesterday that John Larroquette, who narrated the opening text crawl of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (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.
