Playing with Dolls is a 2015 American slasher film directed by Rene Perez and written by Perez and Barry Massoni, and starring Natasha Blasick, Richard Tyson, Charlie Glackin, Alanna Forte, David A. Lockhart.[1]
After an unsuccessful run under its original title, in 2017 Lightning Pictures released the DVD in the UK under the title Leatherface: The Legend Lives On. The new title was criticized as a fraudulent attempt to confuse viewers into thinking that the film was Leatherface, the eighth installment of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, also released in 2017.[2]
After the fraud was reported on internet horror sites, writer-director Rene Perez released a statement to the Dread Central site: "I am apposed [sic] to this title change but I am powerless to stop it. I made no money from this sale. The sales agency didn’t even inform me that a sale was made to the UK. I was unaware until I saw this article. At the moment I am making a 3rd Playing with Dolls movie. I will be self releasing the new Playing with Dolls online to avoid any issues like this in the future. Apologies to my fellow horror fans for this title change."[3]
