The Texas Chain Saw Massacre(1974)A tale of five 20-somethings whose free-spirited road trip becomes a terrifying descent into madness. When they find themselves isolated in a rural Texas community, they fall into the clutches of a monstrous clan of Texas cannibals and find themselves being whittled away by the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface. For more about The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and the The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Blu-ray release, see the The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on September 15, 2014 where this Blu-ray release scored 5.0 out of 5. Director: Tobe Hooper Writers: Kim Henkel, Tobe Hooper Starring: Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger, Paul A. Partain, William Vail, Teri McMinn, Edwin Neal » See full cast & crew The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Texas Chain Saw Massacre was filmed 40 years ago on 16mm film stock. It's never going to look like a brand new movie shot on RED or some other top end digital platform, or even a modern 35mm film, so expectations need to be realistic for how "good" it's ever going to look on home video, if "good" these days is clean and digital-smooth. That said, expectations for this release are met, and oftentimes exceeded. The fairly gritty, lightly soft texturing remains, but the movie -- mastered in 4K and presented on Blu-ray in 1080p high definition -- looks terrific, far better than the previous release. Though there's some noise mixed in, the grain structure appears largely even and attractive, if not a touch sharp at times. A few pops and speckles are mixed in, too, but this is a relatively clean, precise presentation. Clarity is strong, and details are good-to-striking, usually somewhere in the middle. As noted, the film is a little soft by default but viewers should be more than pleased with the way the image handles facial textures, clothing lines, dings and dents on the van, rough Texas terrain, and worn down accents around the house and the morbid decorations scattered through it. Colors are satisfying. Reds in particular stand apart nicely, such as a shot relatively early in the film that sees the girls, one of whom is in red pants, standing beside a red Coke machine against a wall with red accents along the bottom. Blue clothing, too, stands nicely apart, but much of the film is rather dark or heavy on earthy exterior tones. Black levels are sufficiently deep, and flesh tones appear accurate. Though it doesn't look like a new film, it looks pretty much like it should. It's not quite like seeing the film for the first time, but it's like seeing everything in it for the first time. Fans should be ecstatic with this release. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Texas Chain Saw Massacre contains several English language soundtrack options, chief among them a new DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 lossless soundtrack. Much like the video, the film will never sound like a new release Action/Horror picture, but that doesn't make this track any less intense and dynamic. It provides some good atmospheric elements, whether cars passing and the engine working as heard inside the van near the beginning or light exterior elements like blowing wind and rustling grasses in select exteriors. The track produces some fantastically immersive elements, too. The famous "flash photography" sounds heard at the beginning are as stringy and terrifying as ever; they surround the listener with a terrible sense of foreboding made all the more impressive thanks to the wonderful clarity with which they're reproduced. It's amazing how well these sounds set the tone for the movie, even for audiences who have seen it countless times before. The moment, and the excellence with which it's reproduced on this new Blu-ray, is a true champion for the power of sound design in film. Later in the film, sounds of buzzing chainsaws, screaming victims, and other morbid and macabre elements spill into and around the stage with startling authority and accuracy. Dialogue reproduction is clear and focused in the middle. This, like the video, is an excellent presentation fans should love. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: Other Editions
