After spending a long time on a shelf, Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s Leatherface, a prequel to the original classic, was finally unleashed late last year. The film hit DVD and Blu-ray in December, and the discs were home to a handful of deleted scenes as well as an alternate ending that we wanted to shine the spotlight on today.
Reddit user Poland626 brought the alternate ending to our attention over the weekend, which is quite a bit darker and way more gruesome than the film’s actual ending. In the version I personally saw, Jedidah Saywer officially becomes Leatherface when he cuts a woman named Elizabeth’s head off with a chainsaw, turning her face into a mask.
In the alternate ending, however, Jedidah takes things one step further.
Rather than cutting off Elizabeth’s head, the young Leatherface cuts off the bottom half of her face, which he uses to complete his very first skin mask. We then realize that Elizabeth has actually been kept alive, at least for the time being; half of her face is missing, a giant wound has been cut into her leg, and she’s dangling from a meat hook.
This darker version of events can be watched below. Must note that the audio is weirdly from the film’s other ending, but what really matters here are the visuals anyway.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting,” Billed as a coming-of-rage tale, Lisa Frankenstein instead offers a celebration of outcasts and weirdos.”
“It makes for a sugary sweet, almost wholesome effort held together by a trio of infectiously winsome performances,” Meagan’s review continued. She added, “As a celebration of teen girls and outcasts who just want to be loved, Lisa Frankenstein ultimately charms.”
Kathryn Newton (Freaky) and Cole Sprouse (“Riverdale”) lead the cast for Focus Features, and the new film is rated “PG-13” for “bloody images and sexual material.”
Carla Gugino (The Fall of the House of Usher), Liza Soberano (Alone/Together), Joe Chrest (Stranger Things) and Henry Eikenberry (The Crowded Room) also star.

In Lisa Frankenstein, “Set in 1989, the film follows an unpopular high schooler who accidentally re-animates a handsome Victorian corpse during a lightning storm and starts to rebuild him into the man of her dreams using the broken tanning bed in her garage.”
Here’s the full official plot synopsis: “A coming of RAGE love story about a misunderstood teenager and her high school crush, who happens to be a handsome corpse. After a set of playfully horrific circumstances bring him back to life, the two embark on a murderous journey to find love, happiness… and a few missing body parts along the way.”
