Leatherface
A young nurse was kidnapped from a mental hospital by a teenage Leatherface and three other inmates of him. They all feel like they took the nurse out of hell, though they are being pursued by an equally insane lawman, whose main reason to reach them, seems to be revenge.

While the account is not terribly original, [Alexandre] Bustillo and [Julien] Maury bring a joie de mort giddiness to Leatherface. It's great to see their French New Wave/splatterpunk sensibilities come alive once again...

This Texas Chainsaw prequel lacks the original's terror but gets by on style, strong performances and a bucket or two of the red stuff.
