As Netflix revs up the release of a new trailer this Monday, the streamer has shared a poster for Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a direct sequel to Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic, which teases the return of the franchise’s iconic killer Leatherface.
Melody (Sarah Yarkin), her teenage sister Lila (Elsie Fisher), and their friends Dante (Jacob Latimore) and Ruth (Nell Hudson), head to the remote town of Harlow, Texas to start an idealistic new business venture. But their dream soon turns into a waking nightmare when they accidentally disrupt the home of Leatherface, the deranged serial killer whose blood-soaked legacy continues to haunt the area’s residents — including Sally Hardesty (Olwen Fouéré), the sole survivor of his infamous 1973 massacre who’s hell-bent on seeking revenge.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre features a cast that includes Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade), Sarah Yarkin (Happy Death Day 2U), Mark Burnham (Wrong Cops), Moe Dunford (The Dig), Olwen Fouéré (Mandy), Alice Krige (Star Trek), Jacob Latimore (The Maze Runner), Nell Hudson (Victoria), Jessica Allain (The Laundromat), Sam Douglas (Snatch), William Hope (Dark Shadows), and Jolyon Coy (War & Peace). Meanwhile John Larroquette returns to narrate the opening, having done so on both the 1974 original and the 2003 reboot.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre arrives on Netflix on February 18th.
