 Welcome to another episode of Frightfully Forgotten Horror Movies. Before we get started, what are we drinking today? Overlook Hotels White Winter Ale. If you want the recipe, get the link above our heads. Today we're going to bring to you another third installment for our season three. It is Leatherface 1990. So this movie was directed by Jeff Burr. He also directed Stepfather 2. Pick Masters is number four and five. And Pumpkin Head 2 as well. He's like the horror movie sequel guy. Yeah, that's right. The movie was written by David Schau. He did the screenplay for The Crow. Stars Kate Hodge as the main lead, Michelle. And also stars William Butler who's in quite a few horror movies and he's actually a writer for some horror movies too. He was in the Tom Savini remake of Night of the Living Dead which we covered in our first year. Let's try to get together and get some of this damn shit done. He's also in The New Blood. Yeah. Viggo Morgensen, he's in this one of his first roles. He's in The Road which we covered. If you ever want to see his balls slapping around, you know, watch Eastern Promises. Balls slapping around. And another horror movie legend is in this and that's Ken Foray from of course Dawn of the Dead. Grab the walkie-talkies. So the movie starts out, it's just a guy narrating, right? It's not John Lorra Kent. These murders never stopped, right? Somebody's still out there. Michelle and Ryan, they're going to deliver the car that they're driving in to Michelle's dad. They hit an armadillo? Yeah. Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course. In Texas. They end up rolling up to this crime scene. Police have uncovered an open grave with dead bodies in it and stuff, right? Scooping out like body parts in these heads. Oh, yeah. Oh, that sludge. Yeah. And they're all melting and the one guy is like, oh man, I think I'm going to throw up and it's this cop I think that makes it even more creepier. It's like, don't stop for nothing, just keep going. So they stop at the last chance gas station. All of a sudden there's some, this is one of those Halloween laughing things. The gas station attendant guy, I guess that's his little thing where he kind of scares people and then he takes a picture of them. Oh, that's a good picture. There's a guy named Tex that he had pulled in too. He got dropped off. Tex tells him about this shortcut that's not on any maps. It's a new road. While Michelle is in the bathroom, he's all peering at her. Like psycho. Yeah. Right. Tex sees this and they get into this big confrontation and they start fighting. Yeah. What the fuck are you doing? This is my place, motherfucker. Don't ruin my place. Don't ruin my place. Dude, don't ruin my place. He goes in and he gets his shotgun. Tex is like, well, you guys better get the hell out of here. Get moving. Go, go, go. Booze. Yeah. Tex go down. And all this confusion, they take that special road that Tex told them about. And then they go back to the last chance gas station again. This big truck lighting up. It's Armageddon. Yeah. And he's all shooting in here. It's Armageddon. Motherfuckers. This big truck is chasing after Michelle and Ryan. It's the Leatherface Mobile. And suddenly smash on the windshield, just dead animals. And they end up blowing a tire in the hole or a deal. And it's a great scene because it's just quiet. They hear this kind of squeaking. And she keeps shining the flashlight out. And then out of nowhere, the Leatherface finally shows up. He's all strong. Yeah, he rips off at the top of the trunk and they drive off. He got her trunk. Benny has been driving. Now this is all music. Tries to avoid them. And they all end up kind of going into the ditch. He goes up to Michelle and Ryan and kind of ends up patching them up a little bit. Gives them some drugs to help them with their pain. And they're trying to explain to him, no, there's this guy after us with a chainsaw. But now they're too out of it to even really get away from Leatherface. And Ryan gets caught in a bear trap. Fuck! Yeah. She keeps running. She runs to the family house. And they end up capturing her, nailing her to a chair. Benny has to try to save Michelle and that's where we're going to end it. Keep watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 Leatherface if you haven't seen it because it is one of my favorite Texas Chainsaw sequels. Oh yeah. Yeah. I think it's great. It really lives up to the spirit of the first one. Yeah. It does the series justice. The production value of this movie is really good. The cinematography. Yeah. The atmosphere. And it wasn't shot on studio, on a set somewhere, it was shot outside at night. And those are hard shots to get. Yeah. And they do a great job like with all the little details. The bog that's all kind of bubbling and tinker when he with the flares on the road and stuff like that. Each scene is like a setting almost. There's always a lot of fog and mist. Yeah. The atmosphere is so good. Like it really takes you into the movie. The comedy like with Alfredo and all the stupid shit that he says, right? It's funny but it still kind of works because this family and these people who are associated with it, they're all weird. So it works. Yeah. So yeah. Let's go through the family like the characters here. We got Alfredo. Yeah. Alfredo, please. Does after work. Is it super yet? Super yet? You're pleased don't pour it down in my face. The character who's like the kind of Brainiac and he rigs up the new system for this sledge hammer, the kind of pulley system. You got mama with the voice box, right? So like every character has all these really cool specific things that define them. Yeah. That really makes them memorable. Of course there's Leatherface and his look in this movie is really cool like he looks really grotesque. You can just smell them almost, right? Yeah. And then they added a little new kind of characterization for Leatherface and that's the leg brace with that squeaking which you hear throughout the movie, which is really, really neat thing. He's got his own special saw now. The saw is family, right? Ken Four is an awesome character in this movie. Yeah. He's pretty bad ass. Yeah, he is. Yeah. Like when he confronts Alfredo in that bog there, who do people do here? Every traps, come on netting, just 15 seconds. I always thought something so funny, he gives him an exact 15 seconds. Just 15 seconds. The music is very good. It complements this movie so good. There is that very 90s heavy metal. During all the kind of fight scenes. Yeah. It overshadows the scenes. Yeah. And it really doesn't fit either. Made it hokey. Yeah. But the incidental music, the score is really good. Like I love the intro for this movie. Yeah. Boom, boom. Yeah. Leatherface dragging this body in and sewing up the mask, like the music that takes place during that is really creepy. I really like it. They're almost paying homage a little bit to maybe Nightmare on Elm Street or something. Yeah. He's like making the claws. Yeah, exactly. This movie does not reference the second movie really all that much at all. But it doesn't disregard it. A Drayton Sawyer in the second movie says, well, the saw, the saw is family. And of course in this movie engraved on the saw is the saw is family. The same actress who plays Stretch in Texas Chance the Masker 2 is in this as a reporter. According to the director, the idea for that was it is the same character. It's not just a cameo by the actress. That is supposed to be the same character from the second. And she's kind of upgraded from being a disc jockey to a news reporter and she's kind of still chasing Leatherface. From a one second thing. It's like, how the hell are you supposed to get all that? No, I mean, I got it was from the commentary and the DVD. Yeah, exactly. So I mean, I think the director's point is lost. Yeah. He's completely lost. When this movie was originally made, they struggled to get an R rating and they had to cut so much stuff out. The version that was seen in theaters was way tamer than the version you'll get on DVD, the unrated version. You know, there was a different ending for this movie too that was shot. If you will get the DVD, you do get to watch the original ending for this movie, which I actually prefer. The trailer for this movie is super cool. Yeah. I've never seen it. Actually. It's a kind of like a nod to the Excalibur story, right? And it's a great trailer. Go check it out. It's Leatherface staring at this body of water and like the lady of the lake from like Excalibur brings her arm up and it's a chainsaw as opposed to Excalibur, and she throws this chainsaw and Leatherface catches it, he turns around and it's like Leatherface is like, oh what a cool trailer. That's so cool. I think maybe the reason why it's forgotten though too is because the second one was so different, right? And so it's like the black sheep of the family. So that one always gets talked about because it's so weird. After the third, then it gets even more weird or stupid. Yeah, because everyone talks about the fourth one because that's so bad. So the third one gets lost in the mix of all of that, right? It's actually the most normal. Yeah. It is. Yeah, exactly. And the most normal of all is equal, but it's still good and it needs some love. So show us some love and go watch Leatherface.
