It has been called "grisly," "sick," and "perverse,", as well as "raw," "unshakeable," and "the movie that redefined horror." It was attacked by churches, banned by governments, and acclaimed by only the bravest of critics. It stunned audiences worldwide and set a new standard in movie terror forever. Today writer-producer-director Tobe Hooper's dark, visionary tale remains unparalleled in its impact as perhaps the most frightening motion picture ever made.
Now, for the first time, Dark Sky Films proudly presents its director-approved 4K restoration of THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE on 4K Blu-ray, bringing all the scares and the screams into terrifying focus and clarity, making for an immersive viewing experience audiences won't forget. For both new viewers and long-term devotees, this is THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE as it has never been seen or heard before.
The film follows a group of young friends (played by Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger, Paul A. Partain, William Vail and Teri McMinn) road-tripping by van through Texas who fall victim to a bizarre family of cannibals - including a huge masked madman known as Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen) who always has a gas-powered chain saw at the ready. The shocker originated many elements of the slasher genre that would soon explode: the use of power tools as murder weapons, a hulking faceless killer, a desolate rural setting, and the sadistic slaughter of innocent young victims.
Upon its initial release in 1974, THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE was banned in several countries, and many theaters in the U.S. stopped showing it due to complaints about its violence. But the low-budget film was hugely successful, grossing more than $30 million domestically, and is now regarded as one of the best and most influential horror movies. It led to a franchise that continued the story of Leatherface and his family through sequels, prequels, a remake, comic books and video games.
THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE arrives in deluxe 4K Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray Steelbook editions, each containing a bonus disc containing a wealth of supplemental materials.
DISC ONE holds the 4K Blu-ray feature film and four commentary tracks: writer-producer-director Tobe Hooper, actor Gunnar Hansen and cinematographer Daniel Pearl; actors Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger and Paul A. Partain with production designer Robert Burns; Tobe Hooper solo; and Daniel Pearl, editor J. Larry Carroll and sound recordist Ted Nicolaou.
DISC TWO, a Blu-ray, contains the new, never-before-seen feature-length documentary The Legacy of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and several featurettes. These include "The Cinefamily Presents FRIEDKIN/HOOPER," a conversation about the film between Tobe Hooper and The Exorcist director William Friedkin; "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Shocking Truth"; "Flesh Wounds: Seven Stories of the Saw"; a tour of the TCSM house with Gunnar Hansen; "Off the Hook with Teri McMinn"; and "The Business of Chain Saw: An Interview with Production Manager Ron Bozman."Filling out the generous package are deleted scenes and outtakes, a blooper reel, trailers, vintage TV and radio spots, and much more to thrill fans old and new. - Zábava

Awesome Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4k video. 😀👍💿
5:25 Ooh, boy. It's time for an OLED, my man. Or at least an LED with local dimming. But just go OLED. Can't beat it.
Thanks for this unboxing. I'll likely pick up the standard edition. I prefer that old classic poster look so I may wait for a deal without the slipcover or just give away my slip cover if someone needs it.
Hell yeah man!!
The 4k disc's menu have subtitles in Spanish for the movie?
Just English
I didn't think those came out until February 28th
I get new releases early all the time RAZORBACK Doest come out until March 14th I got 2 days ago
I got sent a copy early to review here
@@zombiesdontrundotnet very cool how do you like the steelbook? I'm probably going to go for that
Is this the same transfer we had for the 40th anniversary with the hdr added?
How are the colors in hdr?
Looks like it to me..Looks good but the colors didn't pop that much to me.. Good details though.
@@zombiesdontrundotnet If this is the same transfer that we already had in 4k then as regards the level of detail there is no difference, since it is the same video. Here it was the hdr that made the difference to enhance new shades of color. I'm undecided about buying, but I'll find out more, thanks.
42.99 is just silly for the steelbook
Does the blu ray steel book include the film
The Blu-ray that comes with the 4K is just extras
Does the Blu-Ray include the movie?🤔
Just extras
@@zombiesdontrundotnet oh!😭
I'm going with the slipcover edition and the Second Sight limited edition. No interest in the steelbook but you would think they could do away with the j-card and print all that info on the back of the steelbook instead of leaving it blank.
Can't afford it?
@@ferntin4479 Can't afford what?
@@DaveG777 I believe they meant it may not have been worth it to Dark Sky to do that. The J-card printing may cost less than printing to the steelbook.
@@johnpublic7796 Makes sense.
@@DaveG777 yeah I’m thinking it would cost them too much to print it on the steelbook.
Pass, since they are not including a blu-ray with it.
The Second Sight Blu-Rays that come with the 4K will be Region B locked, so unless you have a region-free player, they won't work in America/Canada. I'm probably getting the standard edition of this over the Second Sight 4K because this one will most likely be cheaper to get since it's a domestic release and won't have to be imported. If you're wanting the Blu-Rays, they have the Black Maria truck edition on sale right now for $42. I'm sure standard Blu-Rays are out there for much cheaper as well.
@@johnpublic7796 Thanks, yea, I have the Second Sight pre-ordered. I would have considered double dipping if they included the Blu-ray but I am not a fan of 4K and if I get, they have to include the blu-ray.
A lot of companies lately are doing the just single 4K disc and I assume it has the blu-ray and then realize it does not.
Thanks
@@mg-ThisHandleIsSoStupid Cool. Yeah, I'd have probably gone for the Second Sight set if the Blu-rays weren't region B locked.
@@johnpublic7796 You gotta get a region free player at some point. Worth every penny.
Well, that eye image isn't all that new, really.
dude you need a oled tv. No wonder the colors look better on blue ray. 4k movies can only be fully utilized with a oled screen.
