Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 5.0
A chainsaw classic
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be reinterpreted by critics, fans and theorists for decades to come. This movie is Tobe Hooper's brilliant debut, a brutal, uncompromised horror about a perverse Texas cannibal clan (inspired by the story of Ed Gein) and the teenagers that wander into their home (decorated in furniture constructed from human bones) and their meathooks. It's unrelenting and unforgettable and its raw gore remains its strongest element.The cinematography is exceptional. Watching the Special Edition, you'd never know that this was shot on 16mm in poor light.The new edition has been newly remastered in high definition and features newly remixed soundtracks in addition to the restored original mono soundtrack.
