Critics Consensus

Leatherface may wear the skin of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel, but it proves gutless as an origin story and finds little invention in the horror tropes it's cannibalizing.

Leatherface ... falls squarely in the tradition of a series that's failed, movie after movie, to recapture the raw, reptilian power of its first entry.

Sadly, the makers of Leatherface didn't put enough thought into a sleepy story that could easily be titled 'I Was a Teenage Leatherface.'

3/4

Like the film's punishingly gory set pieces, the storytelling itself is meaty.

Manages to bring in the extremely unpleasant, unrelenting energy of the New French Extremity horror movement into the United States mostly intact.

For all the buildup for the big reveal, the ending of Leatherface makes little sense and isn't terribly satisfying, for hardcore fans or otherwise.

2.5/5

Most egregiously, it attempts to chart a rational evolution of an incomprehensible monster.

Goofy and Dumb, this movie is actually very good and reveals the story of Leatherface and the Sawyers Is still dumb by the way but at least better than New Generation and 2022 version 8/10

A horror movie that is also constant action & gore. It's so over the top that it was unbelieable. Guess now I'll have to watch the original.

As a stand alone "Natural Born Killers" type of film this could have worked well but as an entry in the Texas Chainsaw franchise it is a major misfire.
