Leatherface is back as the horror of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre continues with a new movie coming to Netflix on February 18, 2022.
Netflix has revealed a creepy first trailer for the upcoming movie, which just so happens to be a direct sequel to the 1974 horror film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
“It's pretty hardcore,” director Fede Álvarez told Entertainment Weekly. “But at the same time, it has the simplicity of that first film. We wanted to come up with a very simple premise [with] a powerful domino effect. Everything is set up in the right place — all you have to do is push the first domino and everything will happen effortlessly.”
Over the years, Leatherface has become a horror legend. But despite appearing in numerous films since the 1974 original, the upcoming movie glosses over some of the less well-received Texas Chainsaw sequels.
But it won’t erase them entirely.
“When I say, 'direct sequel' I wouldn't say it skips everything,” explained Álvarez. “When movies do that, sometimes it feels a bit disrespectful to all the other films. Some people love Texas Chainsaw 2. I love a lot of things about that movie — it's so wacky and of its time. But the rest is such a mess canon-wise. I think it's up to you to decide when and how the events of the other movies happen.”
Although Texas Chainsaw Massacre began development in 2020, Netflix only picked up the rights to the upcoming sequel a couple of months ago.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre will debut on Netflix on February 18, 2022.
