[4K Ultra HD Review] ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’; Available February 28, 2023 From Dark Sky

the texas chain saw massacre, 4kThe Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) (Steelbook) [4K Ultra HD] amazon-cart-logo

Director: Tobe Hooper

Cast: Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger, Paul A. Partain

Release Date: February 28, 2023

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 9/10

Synopsis:

The film follows a group of young friends (played by Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger, Paul A. Partain, William Vail and Teri McMinn) road-tripping by van through Texas who fall victim to a bizarre family of cannibals – including a huge masked madman known as Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen) who always has a gas-powered chain saw at the ready. The shocker originated many elements of the slasher genre that would soon explode: the use of power tools as murder weapons, a hulking faceless killer, a desolate rural setting, and the sadistic slaughter of innocent young victims.

Disc Rating: 7/10

Synopsis:

When his home in New Eden is destroyed by a revitalized Brotherhood and its new Vamp leader, Martin finds himself alone in the badlands of America with only the distant memory of his mentor, the legendary vampire hunter Mister, to guide him. Roaming the wilderness of a steadily decaying country, Martin searches for the one man who can help him exact revenge. Once reunited, Mister and Martin prepare to confront the ravenous Brotherhood and its monstrous overlord. But it’ll take more than the two of them to battle this terrifying new threat, and with the future of humanity hanging in the balance, the stakes are higher than ever before.

Reuniting one of horror cinema’s most memorable heroic teams, STAKE LAND II is an epic exploration of a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by blood-thirsty vamps and social collapse, where only the strongest survive.
