The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning - DVD Details

Post by slasher13 »

I haven't watched this yet, got a copy here, so going to watch before I buy, I got the remake which was good. There are some good dvds coming out for this

UK Region 2:
Entertainment in Video have announced the UK Region 2 DVD release of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning for 19th February 2007 priced at £19.99. Born under the most horrific of conditions, an abandoned baby is found and taken in by the demented Hewitt family. As he grows under their morbid nurturing, the boy develops a ravenous appetite for chainsaws and torture – which is unfortunate for four teens who are captured and brought to the Hewitt’s secluded house of horrors. There, the teenagers must fight to survive as Thomas’ murderous desires are unleashed, and Leatherface is born.

A double-disc set, EIV’s release of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning includes both the Theatrical and Uncut versions of the film with the following extras:

* Deleted/Extended Scenes
* Audio commentary with director Jonathan Liebesman and producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form
* Deleted scenes commentary with director Jonathan Liebesman and producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form
* ”Down to the Bone” behind-the-scenes documentary
* Theatrical Trailer

Just watched this movie:
Texas Chainsaw: The Beginning [Unrated] - 3.5/5
A pretty good prequel to the remake movie, in parts it was pretty brutal rather than gory, which is a nice change. Did like how the view was introduced to each member of the family and how they became, but it really didn't explain Leatherface well, apart from the superb opening scenes and credits, if they taken a bit more time with leatherface himself, rather than the family then my score would have gone up. In the original Leatherface is controlled by the family and you see that here, but also in the original, you feel he really doesn't want to kill, but in this movie, he has no remorse, again which is a shame. I will buy this on dvd, but it a shame they missed bits out on the story

So may just get the UK dvd when it comes out. I know the coverart will be crap due to EIV releasing it, but you never know, it may be good as well ;)
