DVD Description

Includes the horror films LAND OF THE DEAD and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. With LAND OF THE DEAD, director George A. Romero positions the bulk of his story in a giant skyscraper which houses the last humans left on the planet; although his intentions are foggy this time, THE FILM appears to be Romero's commentary on the post-9/11 political landscape. The zombies only bother crews who venture outside the makeshift city for supplies, but the people are kept sedated by their leader, the irascible Kaufman (Dennis Hopper), who exaggerates their threat. What Kaufman doesn't realise is that the zombies are learning skills they half-remember from their old selves, leading to some impressively blood-soaked scenes of tumult. In an unusual move for Romero, Hopper is joined by name actors such as John Leguizamo and Asia Argento. The film greatly benefits as a result, successfully portraying an atrophied civilisation that has regressed to a primitive state, allowing its undead tormentors to sense that a free lunch may be just around the corner. In THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, a quiet summer drive through rural Texas ends in violent tragedy when several youths encounter a chainsaw-wielding psychopathic killer and his demented family. Tobe Hooper's gruesome tale of terror is loosely based on the Ed Gein killings, which actually occurred in Plainsfield, Wisconsin. Shot in a neo-documentary style, this incredibly influential horror film spawned numerous sequels and imitations.

Good Quality
Review of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre DVD by becky_uk

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on DVD is great. But you can see why the UK banned it for so long! The quality is very good and so are the opening scenes on this DVD. However the story itself seems a little pointless to me. All that happens is people with chainsaws run around killing and injuring as many people as possible. The film looks kind of fake (in fact incredibly fake) as the supposed blood looks runny and splatters absolutely everywhere. I was expecting something with a bit more of a plot and a bit more realistic violence because of the contreversy. Still I suppose it can be excused as it is a pretty old film.... Read review

The Saw Is Family alright, but which one
Review of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 Leatherface by jaffacakemonster

Advantages: Improved acting (slightly), realistic-looking gore
Disadvantages: There is nothing related to the original cannibal "family"

...This is my review of the 3rd installment in the ever increasing Texas Chainsaw Massacre saga: 'Leatherface'. If you've read my reviews on the previous TCM movies, then you'll understand my position on these sequels... they aren't ANYTHING like the original. As with TCM 2, the original actor of Leatherface (the chainsaw weilding man who carves people up for dinner) who was in the first film, isn't in this one. 'Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III' begins with the now common voice-over introduction. From this we learn of how only one of the murderous "family" lived to stand trial (dying in 1981) and that authorities concluded that the so-called Leatherface person was just a multiple personality of the dead family member, springing to life when he dawned the mask. So, I guess it's now safe to travel into Texas again? No chance... Read review

The scariest film this year.
Review of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre DVD by foxmul42

Advantages: One word: terrifying
Disadvantages: Too tense to watch.

...I'm not normally a fan of horror movies but was persuaded to see this on halloween. It was definatly the most tense film I have ever seen, the combination of a jaws style soundtrack, chainsaw noises and leatherface chasing people around deserted buildings is what did it. There were points in the movie when I actually jumped (which succeeded in scaring those around me). This movie while based on the original texas chainsaw massacre, has enough new sequences and the improvements in SFX and acting make a huge difference. From the moment the movie starts, the tension begins to build. It is refreshing in that it doesn't rely on the usual cliches of horror movies to get cheap scares. Instead the eerie settings create an atmosphere long before the chainsaw gets to work. Be warned though this movie is extremly graphic and doesn't hold back... Read review
