Like the recent
Halloween,
Candyman
and
Scream, Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the latest belated sequel that
couldn't be bothered to come up with its own name. As with
Halloween, this one ignores all the previous sequels.
50 years after the events of the first film, another group of youngsters
(Sarah Yarkin, Elsie Fisher, Jacob Latimore, Nell Hudson) stumbles
upon the home of Leatherface. The original film's heroine, Sally Hardesty
(Olwen Fouéré), also returns in search of revenge.
David Blue Garcia directs.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is on Netflix from February
18th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
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.
