Dinner with Leatherface

About This Movie

Dinner with Leatherface is a unique glimpse into the world of Gunnar Hansen, the man behind the mask. It’s not your typical horror documentary. The film captures Hansen's dual legacy as both an actor and a kind-hearted individual who defied the brutal persona he portrayed. The pacing feels reflective, weaving in stories from those who knew him well, shedding light on his gentler side amidst the horror backdrop. The interviews are candid, and it’s fascinating to see how his colleagues remember him, almost like a tapestry of anecdotes. There’s something poignant about exploring the contrast between the character and the man, and the practical effects of the genre are discussed in a way that highlights their artistry. It's like a reunion of sorts for horror fans who appreciate the depth behind the scares.
