The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Leatherface (2017)

Starring: Lili Taylor, Stephen Doriff, Sam Strike, Vanessa Grasse, Finn Jones, Sam Coleman, Jessican Madsen, James Bloor
Director: Alexandre Bustillo, Julien Maury

Premise:
A young man gets put into a mental institution due to his family being unfit. The kid and a few others escape and get chased down by the sadistic sheriff.

My Take:
Did we really need a Leatherface origin story. Especially one so cut and dry - kid from a bad home has traumatizing experience that turns him into a killer. There's nothing too special here and the movie is played far more as police chase movie.

Rating: In the middle

Watched: Netflix DVD
