‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ 4K Special Edition Coming This Halloween
2024 marks the 50th Anniversary for Tobe Hooper’s classic film, ‘THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE’ and a brand new 4k edition of the film is coming your way this Halloween. Want more details? Of course you do, keep reading.
TCM has been getting a lot of love lately. From a new video game to multiple re-relases of the film on physical media, and now Turbine Media has announced a new 4K edition of Texas Chain Saw jammed packed with blood-soaked goodies that’ll have any horror fan screaming.
The three-disc 4K media-book combo pack features the iconic slaughter family on the cover basking out in the Texas sun. Leatherface, The Hitchhiker, The Cook, Grandpa, and Grandma are all here to greet their ill-fated guests. The release doesn’t have any new special features, but it includes four audio commentaries, multiple making-of documentaries and interviews, outtakes and deleted scenes, and a tour of the Texas Chain Saw house. The latter of which is now a restaurant in honor of Hooper. This is a German release so the two Blu-ray discs are region locked, but the 4K disc is region free.
Whether it was Hooper’s mind-bending direction, Daniel Pearl's unearthly cinematography, or the disturbing sound design, Leatherface will have you shaking till the credits roll. The way the film is shot like it’s a true-crime documentary also goes a long way to make sleep with the light on for the foreseeable future. It’s just an intimately disgusting film in the best way possible, and you’ll never want to move in fear of being cut by the set design's sharp sense of maddening imagery. Texas Chain Saw Massacre is the equivalent of climbing a barbed wire fence on a 100 degree sun-soaked summer day. That’s why it’s in the conversation with The Exorcist and The Shining as one of the scariest films ever made.
