However, their plans are disrupted when they encounter Leatherface, the terrifying and silent killer who has been living in hiding. When his violent past resurfaces, the group faces a brutal fight for survival as they are stalked by the masked murderer.
The film focuses on themes of generational conflict and revenge, with a modern twist. Sally Hardesty, the lone survivor from the original film, returns to seek vengeance against Leatherface. The movie relies heavily on brutal gore, intense violence, and a tense atmosphere, maintaining the franchise’s dark tone while introducing new characters. While the film received mixed reviews, it continues the legacy of terror associated with the iconic chainsaw-wielding villain.
