The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: (4K UHD and Blu-ray) Limited edition

Product Information

Even though we’ve had some decent 16mm 4K images produced before – notably Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer – this image looks stunning from Second Sight and the odd smattering of slight print damage aside, its nigh on perfect for its source and its origins.

NOTE: This review's screenshots are sourced from Second Sight's included remastered Blu-ray edition. Of course, I say all this with the knowledge that The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's built-in grindhouse aesthetic means that even a "bad" MPI included) might have rendered the grain as more of a chunky, noisy mess. It also looks as if some of the more flagrant damage has been illustrator Adam Stothard featuring Sally, Leatherface, "Grandpa", the hitchhiker, the old man, and a close-up of Sally's eye.Audio Commentary #3 - The first of several larger group chats, this one with cinematographer Daniel Pearl, editor J. Shot on 16mm, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (TCSM) was supposed to and should look suitably rough and downright grotty…however Second Sight have taken the existing 4K scan of the original camera negative made by the rights holders in 2016 (one that has been used to produce multiple other 4K releases of the film in other territories) and done a beautiful new restoration to it. And it’s this that forms the basis of the native 3840 x 2160p resolution image that adorns this new 4K release. The image retains a theatrically accurate 1.85:1 aspect ratio and utilises 10-bit video depth, WCG and both HDR10/Dolby Vision passes, and is encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec.

However, Shane isn't just a movie guy. He also loves video games. Super Mario Sunshine, The Last of Us Part 1 and 2, and Batman: Arkham City are some of his favorites. Music plays a big part in his life as well. Given that Shane's a big horror fan, you might be surprised to learn that he's a pop guy. Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, The Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lovato play on repeat while he's writing. few dead spots or moments where the on-screen action is described. You'll have to really sit up for this one -- it's candid for sure, but not one you presentation gets the job done -- and of course, there are those who might actually prefer a more grimy appearance. But the level of The Legacy of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre – a new feature length documentary produced by Second Sight Films The reasons why that happens aren’t necessarily easy to quantify, because with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the whole is much greater than the sum of its individual parts. It was produced on a low budget under difficult circumstances, and what was going on behind the camera became intertwined with what was happening in front of it. The conditions were brutal, with everyone working long days for seven hours a week, and since there wasn’t enough money for multiple versions of each costume, the actors wore the same clothing every day in the sweltering Texas heat. The real suffering that the actors experienced is visible on camera, and the unrelenting nature of Hooper’s direction mean that tensions remained high regardless of whether or not the camera was rolling. It wasn’t quite method acting, but it was definitely method filmmaking, and it had a tangible effect on the finished product.

I thought I was done buying The Texas Chain Saw Massacreafter upgrading to the 40th anniversary edition Blu-ray in 2014. Between the crisp presentation and the copious extras, I was certain it was the definitive version of Tobe Hooper‘s 1974 masterpiece. Yet here I am, nearly a decade later, ready to sing the praises of Dark Sky Films‘ 4K Ultra HD edition.

In Roger Ebert’s largely dismissive two-star review of Tobe Hooper’s iconic horror film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, he opened with the following paragraph: One of the most charming facets of Onyx the Fortuitous is its commitment to practical effects, specifically its use of puppets to bring demons, ghouls, and creatures to life.presentations and deluxe Limited Editions -- has unleashed their own treatment of Tobe Hooper's 1974 horror classic The Texas Chain Saw
