This movie has a 84.29% Approval Rating Based on 14 Reviews Read Reviews


On August 20, 1973, police were dispatched to the remote farmhous of Thomas Hewitt, former head-skinner at a local slaughterhouse in Travis County, Texas.

There officers made a chilling discovery: the butchered remains of 33 people. The horrifying scene, considered by many to be the most gruesome mass murder case of all time, shocked the country and generated sensational headlines newspapers nationwide.

The killer brandished a chainsaw and wore grotesque masks made from the flesh of his victims. Local authorities would eventually gun down a man wearing one of these leathery masks and declare they had their killer, who became known forever as "Leatherface".

In the years that followed, however, many close to this grisly murder case would come forward to level accusations that police had botched the investigation and knowingly killed the wrong man.

Now, the only known survivor of the killing spree breaks the silence and reveals the truth about what happened along that deserted rural highway.....
