Review of Leatherface (2017) by Wgillis — 29 Dec 2017

Interested in seeing this movie? Well then you must ask your self if you are willing to disregard everything you know about reality and human interaction. The plot, dialogue, and emotions of the actors make no sense in this movie.

For example, early in the movie a character discovers the death of some one he loves deeply and responds by being sad for only a short few seconds and then immediately gets up with no tears at all and spouts a couple one liners at a bad guy.

They even broke the laws of physics in one scene by having 3 full-sized adults (one of them being 400+lbs) hide inside the stomach of a dead cow to escape the cops. Not to mention the cops were only about 30-40 yards behind them when they found the cow and they had to completely hollow out the inside of it and figure out how to fit inside of it in a matter of minutes.

These are just a small sample of the things that are wrong with this movie. So many parts of this movie had me staring blankly at the screen and just thinking "Why was this not cut?". For example, (this is the last one I am going to spoil for you) there is a scene near the beginning with an actor being badly dubbed over by a fake Matthew McConaughey voice.

Who thought that was a good idea?! So to finish up there is a dumb twist near the end. I won't ruin it for you but lets just say that it makes no logical sense and it just rips apart any semblance of plot continuity that this movie had left.

The only good things I can say about this movie is that the camera work was good and the gory kills were on point every time. I give this movie a 5/10. Not even copious amounts of gore and violence can save Leatherface (2017) from its bizarre disconnect with reality.
