Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 4.0
good, disturbing movie
This is one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen, but it is a great movie. The movie itself is 5 stars, I gave it 4 stars because of the dvd. I think they still could've had a better picture, even though this is a 1974 movie, and they probably did their best by making the movie widescreen. The movie is great. It starts out kind of slow, but once it gets going, it gets a lot better. Gunnar Hansen does a good job as a retarded killer, and Marilyn Burns does an extremely good job as a screamer, so good that its almost unbearable because she screams so much in the end toward the dinner scene.The movie has a lot of special features, including a new widescreen Digital Superscan transfer supervised by Director Tobe Hooper, a new stereo surround soundtrack re-mix supervised by Tobe Hooper, the original mono soundtrack, audio commentary with Tobe Hooper, Director of Photography Daniel Pearl, and Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface). It also has deleted and alternate scenes, a blooper reel, theatrical trailers and t.v. spots for other films in the series, posters and collectibles, and still photos.THIS OR THE REMAKE??I bought both because I think they are both good. The original is kind of slow moving, less swaring, less gore, and not as violent, although it is more disturbing. If you like classics, you should get this.The original is faster moving, has a lot of language, and is really gory, and is more for teenagers. If you like newer slasher movies, get this.
