The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: It's Still As Alive and Fresh As I Remembered
The clarity that's on this Dark Sky release blows my mind and captivates me. It's certainly an improvement over watching it on a VHS copy that I have where the film shows signs of degradation with anomalies and scratches. The sound is as clear as it can get with three tracks to satisfy anyone. I hadn't seen this film in a long time, given the VHS's quality. I was genuinely afraid to watch certain parts of it. It almost felt to me like it was my first time to watch it. Tobe Hooper's a masterful director, in my humble opinion. This film isn't so much going for the gore, yet it's one of the scariest that I've seen given its psychological impact. Think about it, if you will. Something like what happens in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre can happen to any one of us, no matter how impervious we might think that we are. Be wary, because there's evil among us, wherever we go. Listen carefully for roaring chain saw motors, and NEVER pick up hitchhikers.
