Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 1.0
The Rating Is NOT For The Movie - Only The Packaging!!!
WARNING - To all potential buyers that have already have the 1998 Pioneer DVD of TCM and are hoping for an upgraded version; don't bother. As other aware reviews state, this is a direct albeit less costly reissue of the older Pioneer DVD, I'm assuming, to cash in on the new TCM. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, I guess.But what irks me is the packaging. If you look inside the flap of the cover you'll see under the special features "a new widescreen Digital Superscan transfer supervised by Tobe Hooper" which I took to mean a new 2003 transfer. Or, if it wasn't, at least it would be the "restored laser disc" version with the 200 splices removed. Then comes the inevitable dissapointment after viewing it. I wonder how many other people were suckered into buying it thinking likewise?If you're a newbie to TCM or if you've seen the remake and want to have the (superior) original then pick it up. It still has all the cool special features that are worth having. For disgruntled buyers like myself, I suggest writing to Pioneer and let them know how you feel!!!Keep the peace!
