The Texas Chain Saw Massacrenot only changed the face of horror, it remains one of the most disturbing, powerful and terrifying films ever made. Now – almost half a century after its original release – you can witness the terror as never seen before, as Second Sight Films presents the definitive version of Tobe Hooper’s legendary horror classic. The Legacy of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - a new feature length documentary produced by Second SightFilms Here, he joins Bartok and his mysterious delegation to raise the spirit of an ancient demon for a once-in-a-lifetime ritual.

Howard, Kimberly Lindbergs, Annie Rose Malamet, Maitland McDonagh, Neil Mitchell, Jerome Reuter and Robert Skvarla, with illustrations by Adam Commentary with Cinematographer Daniel Pearl, Editor J. Larry Carroll, and Sound Recordist Ted Nicolaou Another highlight is a 45-min conversation between Hooper and fellow master of horror William Friedkin that preceded a 40th anniversary screening presented by Cinefamily in Los Angeles. Hooper is reserved compared to the gregarious Exorcist director, but it’s a treat to hear the two old friends candidly chat about the movie that, as Friedkin puts it, “transcends the genre.” presentation gets the job done -- and of course, there are those who might actually prefer a more grimy appearance. But the level of We were only sent the 4K UHD disc from this set by Second Sight but it appears that all the extras are on this disc AND repeated across the accompanying two 1080p discs:short piece features Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, author of "Masks in Horror Cinema: Eyes Without Faces", who offers her thoughts and observations 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.

Hooper and cinematographer Daniel Pearl (who also shot the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake) balance the deluge of raw, grisly imagery — including people hanging from meat hooks and furniture fashioned from body parts — with nimble craftsmanship. Iconic shots — such as Leatherface’s stark reveal, the low angle dolly following Pam to the house, extreme close ups on Sally’s eye, and Leatherface’s deranged chainsaw dance bathed in orange sunlight — are breathtaking in 4K. Sally is arguably the first ever final girl, although some may suggest it’s Laurie from Halloweenor even Lila from Psycho. To me, Sally is the first official final girl. Sally’s confrontations with Leatherface and the struggles she faces throughout the runtime make her an absolute standout. Barns is such a great actress and an ultimate scream queen. She really deserved so many more roles out of this than she ended up doing. This final girl trope, coined by Carol J. Clover, is such a prominent theme that certain films in the horror genre have ( Friday the 13th, Scream, Cabin in the Woods, etc), and is when the lead girl of a friendship group is the sole survivor of a chain of brutal killings.

Now – almost half a century after its original release – you can witness the terror as never seen before, as Second Sight Films presents the definitive version of Tobe Hooper’s legendary horror classic. never before seen on home video. Colors are likewise more faithfully rendered, and a few subtle tone shifts have also been carefully corrected; one The Legacy of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - a new feature length documentary produced by Second Sight Films The film that redefined horror, tells the story of a group of five friends who take a road trip and find themselves at the mercy of a depraved Texan clan, among them one of the all-time horror icons, the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface – played by the inimitable Gunnar Hansen. It’s not long before their idyllic drive becomes a macabre nightmare...

Now, it’s important to note that all of these differences are subtle ones. Second Sight’s version isn’t necessarily a night-and-day improvement, but it’s still an improvement across the board. When viewed in native 4K via projection, Second Sight is the clear winner. Depending on the size and type of display that you have, as well as your viewing distance, your mileage may vary. Yet the differences are still there, if you look for them. The Legacy of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (new) – feature length appreciation of by film makers and writers/academics (82 mins)
