Painstakingly restored from the original 16mm ECO negatives, this special edition presents Tobe Hooper's classic film as you've never seen it before.

Starring: Marilyn Burns, Paul A. Partain, Edwin Neal, Jim Siedow, Gunnar Hansen. Amazon.com essential video: This sensational, extremely influential, 1974 low-budget horror movie directed by Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist, Lifeforce, Salem's Lot), may be notorious for its title, but it's also a damn fine piece of moviemaking. And it's blood-curdling scary, too. Loosely based on the true crimes of Ed Gein (also a partial inspiration for Psycho), the original Jeffrey Dahmer, Texas Chainsaw Massacre follows a group of teenagers who pick up a hitchhiker and wind up in a backwoods horror chamber where they're held captive, tortured, chopped up, and impaled on meat hooks by a demented cannibalistic family, including a character known as Leatherface who maniacally wields one helluva chainsaw. The movie's powerful sense of dread is heightened by its grainy, semi-documentary style--but it also has a wicked sense of humor (and not that camp, self-referential variety that became so tiresome in subsequent horror films of the '70s, '80s, and '90s). OK, in case you couldn't tell, it's "not for everyone." But as a landmark in the development of the horror/slasher genre, it ranks with Psycho, Halloween, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. --Jim Emerson Average Rating:

It was around 2001 and I rented it because I was like 13 and Bored! So me and friends watched it late at night, and everyone disliked it, cause they were idiots. I loved it! The film is so bizzare. Its just this old movie with a group of friends discovering an obandoned farmhouse near one of the girl's grandparents' old house. In the farmhouse lives a strange, sadistic murderer and his entire family! It's so creepy ... Read More Rating:  - THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE [BLU-RAY]WORST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN IN MY LIFE. Before buying this blu-ray, I did not know that they are the much OLDER version. Rating: - The Texas Chainsaw MassacreThis is perhaps the stupidest movie ever made. If not the most stupid, it should easily make the top five (or would that be the bottom five?). Either way, the acting is terrible, the sound is horrific, and the plot appears to have been written during an afternoon of drinking and football watching. Five idiotic morons, one in a wheelchair, are in a van in rural Texas. They stupidly pick up this total scumbag hitch hiker who proceeds to give everyone the creeps, but he isn't thrown out of the ... Read More Rating: - Fresh from the SlaughterhouseReview of the Blu-Ray edition (4 stars out of 5) The Good Things *Includes a number of special features; documentaries, deleted scenes, outtakes, and trailers. *The movie is one of the freakiest ever made. It has some graphicness to it, but is not quite as bad as I thought it would be (newer movies like "Saw" are way worse). It achieves terror more through the creepy settings and unsettling ideas. *Filming style is good. Has a lot of good camera angles and movements. *Production ...
