Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 4.0
Classic Horror with plenty of Extras
The last time I had seen this movie was back in 1984 on VHS. Pioneer really did a great job with the DVD audio and extras on this one. Unfortunately the video does have some defects. I read on a DVD web site that Pioneer actually used the wrong source material when creating the DVD. They used the copy before the digital cleanup was done. You can notice some black streaks in about four or five shots. That aside the video is great but I did deduct a star for the inferior source material used. Pioneer has not admitted this mistake to date. The movie itself requires little review. It is classic horror at is best and relies a lot on suggestion as compared to outright gore. It truely is one of the most chilling horror movies of all time and ranks right up there with the Exorcist, Evil Dead, and Night of the Living Dead.
