After being unleashed exclusively through DIRECTV last month, brand new franchise prequel Leatherface is now available on all VOD outlets just in time for Halloween.
And we’ve just learned that the film, directed by Inside filmmakers Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, will be hitting Blu-ray on December 19, 2017.
Special features include:
- Behind the Mask: the Making of Leatherface
- Six deleted scenes
- Alternate Ending
In Leatherface, Jessica Madsen plays one of four inmates (Sam Coleman, Sam Strike, James Bloor) who escapes from a mental hospital. One of them becomes the title character and iconic slasher. Vanessa Grasse also stars.
Here’s the official synopsis for the film, penned by Seth M. Sherwood…
“In Texas, years before the events of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, in the early days of the infamous Sawyer family, the youngest child is sentenced to a mental hospital after a suspicious incident leaves the sheriffs’ daughter dead. Ten years later, he kidnaps a young nurse and escapes with 3 other inmates. Pursued by authorities including the deranged sheriff out to avenge his daughter’s death, the young Sawyer teen goes on a violent road trip from hell, molding him into the monster known now as Leatherface.”
