Movie Review: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

Sullied. That’s how I felt as I left the screening of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. I felt unclean. Not because of the film’s desperate attempts at shocking gore and violence - and it’s not as grotesque as it likes to think it is - but because it feels the need to further diminish the legacy of Tobe Hooper’s classic original.

Texas Chainsaw 2: New DVD Release

Arrow in the Head is reporting that a new release of Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is on its way. How exciting!

The picture quality on the existing release leaves much to be desired, so given that this one boasts “a new anamorphic widescreen transfer” I have high hopes for a decent release.

No mention of a Dennis Hopper commentary though…shame.
