Why it’s HorroRated

Leatherface the prequel occupies an awkward space in the franchise, answering questions about origin while the mythology keeps shifting. As a 1950s road horror film on its own terms it has some interesting moments and the leads carry the material. Worth watching if you're curious about the character's background but don't go in expecting revelations.
