Parents need to know that Leatherface is a so-called prequel to the extremely violent The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series that began in 1974 and spawned six sequels and prequels and a 2003 remake. The original featured a psycho killer and was in some sense based on an actual criminal. It was banned in some countries for its violence. This iteration shows the young killer learning his trade under the bloody guidance of a sadistic mother, malevolent older siblings, and murderous grandfather. The violence is graphic, with stabbings, shootings, gushing wounds, and screams. A wounded man is fed to pigs, who eat him alive. A man's jaw is shot off and he is sewn up. A man's head is smashed against a window until both the window and his head break. During a riot in a psychiatric ward, male and female patients briefly have sex against a wall as lights flicker. A woman is shown from the back having sex with what turns out to be a corpse. Her scarred breasts and torso are also shown. Language includes "f--k," "s--t," "bastard," "bitch" and "ass." Teens take a swig from a container of what seems to be moonshine.
