User Reviews
“I went in expecting a typical 'making of' doc, but this was so much more intimate. Hearing about Gunnar's poetry readings and his gentle nature really hit me. The interviews are heartfelt, and it's a beautiful tribute to a man who gave us one of the scariest villains ever.”
“It's a solid documentary, though I wish it dug a bit deeper into the making of the film. Still, the personal stories about Gunnar are fascinating, and it's refreshing to see a horror doc focus on the person behind the mask rather than just the gore.”
“As someone who adores the original TCM, this gave me chills—not from scares, but from the emotional weight. Learning about Gunnar's intelligence and humor made me see 'Leatherface' in a whole new light. A must-watch for true fans.”
“I wanted more gruesome details and BTS anecdotes, but this doc focuses more on Gunnar's life off-screen. It's well-made and respectful, but not what I expected. Still, it's worth a watch for the insights into a horror legend.”
