"Grampa's The Best!"
This movie is the Grampa of all the horror movies. This is the one that changed everything!When in the 50's, horror consisted of space aliens, blobs and assorted zombies, the original "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" brought into the picture the aspect of average middle class people getting lost in America's rural underbelly and confronting inbred "families" with dark secrets and odd behaviors. Often duplicated, often sequeled, and often resurrected for "new audiences," the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is still by far the best! Why ruin a good thing?!This collector's edition is superior in many other ways. It is a two DVD edition. The spare DVD is just clogged with commentary and behind the scenes action and trivia. The movie DVD is completely restored and in superior high definition quality.The moral to this story? Could it be that a whole family who works for years in a slaughterhouse sees any living thing worthy of being butchered and dressed out? Could it be that a whole family loves it's ancient "grampa" so much that they insist he hold and wield the sledgehammer to make the latest kill?Leatherface is creepy enough. So is the guy with that huge birthmark. So is the jokester father. But "Grampa's" the best! He is a 'one hitter!'
