‘Leatherface’: Even More Behind-the-Scenes Images
It’s yet another insanely slow holiday Monday, so we thought we’d spice things up with a look at even more behind-the-scenes shots from Leatherface, thanks to tipster Mike Magnano.
In the prequel to Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Jessica Madsen plays one of four inmates (Sam Coleman, Sam Strike, James Bloor) who escape from a metal hospital. One of them becomes the title character and iconic slasher. The quartet kidnapa a young nurse (played by Vanessa Grasse) and take her on a road trip from hell. Along the way, they are pursued by an equally deranged lawman (Stephen Dorff) out for revenge.
Angela Bettis was cast as Mother Sawyer. The Conjuring‘s Lili Taylor also is featured.

Leatherface was directed by Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, the duo behind the slasher masterpiece Inside (À l’intérieur), as well as Livide and Among the Living.
