Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The: Collector's Edition | = |
There are identical R1 and R4 versions of this particular package - aside from package differences and the slight differences in transfer (despite being in PAL, this does feature the NTSC interlacing issues), I would recommend whichever is cheapest. Now, there have been a lot of R4 releases of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and to my mind, this is the best of them all, with the best video transfer, the best audio options, and plenty of extra material. However, there are some extras missing from this package that were seen in the previous R0 Force Video SE release: - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: A Family Portrait" documentary (long version) - "Killing Kirk" featurette This previous edition has few of this edition's special features, and includes a smoothed-over transfer that removes a lot of the grain from the video, but also a lot of the detail and colour. Even with the additional featurettes missing, I would still recommend the new Ultimate Edition. This is, to my mind, the best way to view this film as of the end of 2007. |
