Movie Review: Cannibal Farm is A Tasty Treat For Horror Hounds!

Look here creeps and ghouls, ol’ XIII knows it’s wrong to judge a book (or fright flick) by it’s cover, but come the F on. That’s Leatherface, and I don’t care what you call this film, I’m willin’ to bet demons to donuts that this is the biggest Texas Chainsaw Massacre rip off that’s ever come down the putrid pike. All I can say is stick around to see if your’s cruelly’s instincts are as sharp as usual… Cannibal Farm concerns a bickering British family who heads out on a road trip to a remote rural location (ahh…so it’s The Hills Have Eyes European Tour…my mistake…and before you even start your crap, yes I know Hills was partially based on a real European cannibal clan). Along the way they run into a cider/lemonade salesman (this guy is worth the price of admission alone, trust me…and he gets plenty of screen time as he is more than he appears) before settling

Horror Fuel’s Top 10 Horror Films Of 2017

As 2017 draws to a close it is time to celebrate those genre films that stand out above all others as the best of the best, the Top 10 of 2017. 10. Tragedy Girls Tragedy Girls centers on “two death-obsessed teenage girls who use their online show about real-life tragedies to send their small Midwest town into a frenzy, cementing their legacy as modern horror legends.” Executive producer Kerry Rhodes (interview) stars opposite Deadpool’s Brianna Hildebrand, X Men: Apocolypse’s Alexandra Ship, and Hall Pass’s NicWhelan. The cast also features Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games), Craig Robinson (Hot Tub Time Machine), Kevin Durand (The Strain), and Jack Quaid (The Hunger Games, Vinyl). 9. The Vault The Vault, the first of its kind combines the robbery genre and the horror genre and the result is fantastic.

Next “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” Movie Will Be Getting The Reboot Yet Again

At this point the “Texas Chainsaw” franchise’s continuity feels like taking a hammer to the head. Multiple reboots, direct sequels to earlier films that had previously been rebooted, timelines that Doc Brown and Marty couldn’t figure out; the entire series is an absolute mess, and one of rapidly decaying quality to boot. “Leatherface”, the franchise’s most recent installment, holds a paltry 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. Perhaps it’s not all that surprising then (if not a little distressing) that the next film in the series will be rebooted yet again, if a tweet from actress Christa Campbell is correct. “I loved this film and I’m very proud,” said Campbell. “Unfortunately because of the time it took to release it we lost the rights sadly. So no, at least not from us.” Maybe the next team will finally get the chainsaw revved up and roaring. I’d hate to see this franchise die with a sputter.

New “Leatherface’ Trailer Rev’s Up The Hype

When Leatherface, a Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel, was first announced I was a little wary; unlike Micheal Myers, Freddy Krueger, or even Jason, Leatherface didn’t have much of an origin story in his debut film. And frankly, he didn’t need one. The skin mask and hum of a chainsaw were all the big crossdressing brute needed to become one of the most terrifying villains in horror history. The newest trailer however, has got me a little more excited. Containing an asylum escape, what looks like a small army of cops (who will inevitable become power tool fodder) and Little Leatherface receiving his first chainsaw, the film’s actually starting to look like it might become the first good Texas Chainsaw film in years. The first good one in 43 years if your asking me, but that’s neither here nor there……

Witness An Killer Put On His Iconic Mask For the First Time In The ‘Leatherface’ Trailer

It has been two years since the prequel to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, titled Leatherface, was announced. After all that time waiting and wondering what to expect we now finally get a glimpse at the film. Today, the trailer has arrived and we witness the brutal killer put on the iconic mask for the first time. The film centers on teenage Leatherface as he escapes from a mental hospital along with three other patients. After kidnapping a nurse, he takes her on a road trip from Hell. Along the way, they are pursued by an equally deranged lawman out for revenge. One of these teens are destined for tragedy and horrors that will destroy his mind, molding him into the monster we now call Leatherface.

Yet Another TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Reboot Gets a Release Date

I love The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. There’s a good chance you love The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In fact, I’d guess it would be pretty hard to find a horror fan that doesn’t love, or at least respect, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Now all that being said, do we really need another reboot? Well the good folks over at Lionsgate apparently think so, because were getting reboot number four! As far as the poster goes I will say I hate the feeling of wet socks, although I’m still not sure a puddle and skinny shins were the right direction to take. The plot itself, set to follow a teenage Leatherface breaking out of an asylum and kidnapping a nurse, doesn’t excite me either. While part of me wonders a little if his masks ever get adolescent acne, mostly it’s just boring. After all, isn’t that what a hulking, cousin fucking cannibal in a skin mask needs; and in-depth examination of what

Movie Rips Off Leatherface Title – Don’t Be Fooled

Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ prequel ‘Leatherface‘. Some fans might believe that it was just released on DVD in UK, but it hasn’t. A film has just been released titled ‘Leatherface’, but it is an impostor. The knockoff, directed by Rene Perez, would like for you to believe that it is actually part of the ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’, but in reality it is not. On the poster stands a man with a chainsaw and stitched together mask, the tag line “The Legend Lives On…” written at the bottom. Hmmm, I wonder where they got that idea (sarcasm)? The Synopsis for the movie goes like this: Four wannabe actors take part in a horrifying reality show in which a serial killer stalks them in a remote cabin and their reactions are filmed for TV. The survivor of the week is promised $1 million and the starring role in their very own horror film. The only
