The Red Band ‘Leatherface’ Trailer in 50+ Images!
Today Bloody Disgusting shared the world exclusive red band trailer premiere for Leatherface, the next installment in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise that will see an exclusive DirecTV release on September 21, 2017, with a limited theatrical run and full VOD release through Lionsgate revved up for October 20, 2017.
One thing about the trailer is that it’s extremely dark and even when I was looking for a cool screencap to use in the header I was having a difficult time. It’s old-school horror in the sense that Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo aren’t giving anything away and aren’t allowing shots to hang on special effects for too long. They aren’t allowing our brains to fully process what we’re seeing and that is what makes things scarier in a horror movie. With that, I thought it would be super fun to go through the full HD trailer and pull some screens to share with you. There’s a lot that flashes by in the trailer but can be seen a little better here, including some spoiler-y deaths to Leatherface stitching together his mask. The most glorious shot of all, however, is that of a young boy wearing a giant pig’s mask. Okja, eat your heart out. I’m also obsessing over the footage of Lili Taylor giving a chainsaw as a gift for her son’s birthday. Can’t Wait.

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
