Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 4.0
Visceral charge...
This film really digs into the core of your being and overwhelms your senses with jarring imagery and sound. The transfer of this film to the new Blu-ray format is great, considering this movie is now over 30 years old. Also, the extras and the 5.1 mix make it a worthy release. There is some grain to the picture, especially during the evening scenes, but overall, the print looks great. Tobe Hooper liberally uses tracking dolly shots in this offering, and it becomes tedious after a while, but it really sets the mood--as if the camera is another character in the piece. As a fan of more mainstream horror, it took me a while to warm up to this picture, but this edition is a prized addition to my collection.
