    Good first half, weak 2nd half. The villain isn’t as compelling as he’s being made out to be, he’s fairly on the nose compared to Koba and The Colonel. The villain Proximus Caesar was definitely underused as well, and their approach with his character could’ve been darker and ruthless. But in the film he nearly comes off as ‘evil corporate guy wants something with no foreknowledge of what it actually is because he is greedy and wants to be more…

    Every director who wants to get into horror should use this film as some sort of template;
    No jarring music to artificially create tension
    Broad daylight can be terrifying
    Build up is natural; no indication of leatherface 
    Leatherface simply appears into frame
    No jarring jumpscares
    Runtime is 80 odd minutes
    No graphic gore, what we don’t see is always scarier
