Leatherface, the eighth entry in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, is set to screen tonight at the 17th annual Screamfest LA Horror Film Festival. Inside directors Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury are at the helm. Lati Grobman (Embrace of the Vampire) and scream queen/ex-Playboy model Christa Campbell (Day of the Dead) produce.

Leatherface is a prequel to the 1974 classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, providing an origins story for its iconic chainsaw-wielding madman – one of four escaped mental inmates who abduct a young nurse and take her with them on the lam as a pair of twisted Texas Rangers hunt them down on a personal mission of vengeance.
