Along the way, they are pursued by an equally deranged Texas ranger named Hal Hartman who's out for revenge, and they quickly run into the infamous Sawyer family. One of these teens is destined for tragedy and horrors that will destroy his mind, molding him into the monster we now call Leatherface.It was first shown on August 25th, 2017 at Empire's Leicester Square, released exclusively on DirecTV's streaming service on September 21, 2017 and later distributed through theaters on October 20th, 2017.

Downer Ending: Given it's a prequel, this isn't surprising. Jackson loses his fragile sanity after Bud's death and after he is shot in the face leading to him killing Hartman and then Lizzy when he chooses his mother over her. The final scene is Jackson creating his first mask, which is half of Hartman's face and half of Lizzy's face, solidifying his transition into Leatherface.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Coming-of-Age Story: A horrific and tragic variant for Jedidiah, who's taken from his home and given a new identity as Jackson, a suave teen who flirts with Lizzy on the first encounter. However, after a series of tragedies and a facial deformity, Jackson's psyche breaks completely and is reset as the iconic Leatherface, who kills without question and ends the movie by making a mask from both Hartman and Lizzy's faces. Leatherface comes of age by losing his original identity and losing the remainder of his innocence.

Cannibal Clan: The Sawyer family are as deranged and insane in this as they are in the original. In this film however there's no indication of actual cannibalism and the bodies of their victims are fed to the pigs.
