Spoiler

Got some Hi-Def Ninja exclusive pics for you all!

Arrow were very kind to send me out a review copy of this, and I was very surprised to see it's pretty much a retail copy! They've told me the only difference will be that the slipcase will be more of a slip box

I have to say I think it looks superb!

In 1974, Tobe Hooper quite literally changed the face of horror with his landmark film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Although the hulking Leatherface and his trusty power tool left an indelible mark upon the cinematic landscape, it wouldn’t be until 1986 that the buzz came back… in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2!

Relocating the cannibalistic Sawyer clan to a cavernous, labyrinthian dwelling beneath an amusement park, Hooper’s deliciously demented sequel sees Leatherface and Co. continue their murderous exploits afresh. This time around, local DJ Stretch runs afoul of the Sawyers when she gets mixed up in the brutal slaying of two youngsters. Meanwhile, Lieutenant ‘Lefty’ Enright, is hell-bent on avenging the murder of his nephew Franklin in the first movie.

A cult classic in its own right, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 serves up a heady blend of gratuitous gore, socio-political critique and jet-black humour – whilst Dennis Hopper’s unhinged turn as Lefty needs to be seen to be believed! Whichever way you skin it, Leatherface’s second cinematic outing is an uncompromisingly delirious vision from one of horror’s great directors

Instant purchase for me!! I'll be selling my US BD very soon in order to replace it for this

It's already been confirmed by Arrow that the film will be fully uncut too (same as the US BD)

 

[Orekul]

Thanks for the heads up cooey, this will be in my collection as soon as it's out for sure.

 

[cooey]

No problem mate

I've added a purchase link to the OP from Arrow. They have a pre-order special price of £19.99 for a couple of weeks. I'm tempted to wait and see what Amazon list it for as the RRP is £34.99

 

[TeeTee]

too bad it's region B

 

[PunkNinja]

Thx. cooey, a must buy indeed.

 

[snowblood]

A very nice release, I will be getting this

 

[Sigill]

Looks awesome, a definite buy for me!

 

[Skush]

My willy went rigid.

 

[rbarnes182]

Ordered!!

I just purchased the Austrian version but will be selling it in the near future for this beauty.

 

[severo]

i was almost ordering this must-buy from ARROW, when i thought to myself:
there will most likely be another sale on the arrow site in november or december, and almost everything is at a 60-70%off from the retail price then (just like now). maybe we will see this at 14.99 some day.
also the print-run of 10.000... does anyone think this will sell out so quickly?

i think i will also wait a few days until we see the price on amazon.

 

[rafa1984]

It is limited to 10000, im pretty sure it won't go OOS anytime soon and with so many stuff to buy these months i think ill save this one for later

 

[cooey]

I'm surprised this hasn't shown up on Amazon.co.uk yet

 

[Ace7523]

This is now avalible on Amazon

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

This is just gonna wipe the floor with the German/Austrain edition

 

[Sigill]

Added Amazon link to OP. it is looking like its better to order from Arrow if Amazon are going to charge that price.

 

[cooey]

Can you good people please report the cheaper price to Amazon? Hopefully they'll price match

We can try! I don't mind ordering from Arrow, the only thing I don't like is that they take the money straight away.

Exactly. I believe the pre-order price at Arrow is until 12th August, so I'll be keeping my on Amazon to see if they reduce it and if not I'll just pre-order from Arrow

It looks nice, but lol 35GBP.

Waiting for a price drop.
