This isn't that bad-a movie, and fits in nicely with the whole Texas Chainsaw saga IMO

 

[cooey]

Although I would love to see the original released as a steelie. It is getting a 4K release this year so it wouldn't surprise me.

Excellent, a second classic!
Let's go to Freddy, Jason, and Michael!!!!
Hope it is the beginning of a huge collection of classic horror movies...

 

[hansgruber]

The official title is just 'Texas Chainsaw'. Zavvi made a mistake and I just copied it

What a bummer. Texas Chainsaw is the newest remake, correct?

It's a direct sequel to the original 1974 film

I have asked the question to our contact at Lionsgate about if it contains the 2D or 3D version of the film

OP will be updated accordingly

 

[Mrhoyt]

Would have ordered in a heartbeat if it was the one with jessica biel...

 

[rj531]

Was hoping original or 2003 remake. Much worthy of a steel IMO

 

[ChrisIW]

Nice to see a lot of love for the 2003 version, I also think that one rocks.

2013 version? Err...no thanks.

 

[hansgruber]

It's a direct sequel to the original 1974 film

I thought part 2 with Dennis Hopper was the sequel to the original? So this is a remake of a sequel?

 

[SaberTooth]

Very strange that zavvi went with the remake when its the origional that is so much loved by horror fans

...however I still apricate the effort and will be blind buying this anyway

Pass

1974 Original - classic - great
2003 Version - I really enjoyed
2013 Version - never seen it, probably because I was told it's crap

Never seen or heard of it.. will have to check out the trailer but it's not getting the best reviews on here so far. I would have bought the original and/or the 2003 one though. Would be nice to see zavvi bring out some of the old classics in the future, especially if they're willing to share print runs with other countries to make sure they sell out and therefore continue to bring us what we really want without worrying they'll be stacked up in their wear house gathering dust.
I would like to see movies like misery, the dead zone, carrie etc get steelbooks too

This isn't the remake

 

[SaberTooth]

^ yeah this thread is confusing... but really zavvi shld start film runs with origionals and then release the remakes or sequeals as required imo

its a sequel to the original, starts straight after the events of the 1974 film and the aftermath. you just have to pretend that the sequel with dennis hopper didnt happen.
on a side note, the guy who played chop top in the hopper film, plays the role of drayton/the cook in this. gunner hanson plays a smll role at the start, the same actor from the original plays grampa and marilyn burns plays a older memeber of the sawyer clan (dont want to give to much away).
i just wish the start had had been longer, 1974 has been retconned to the late 80s/ early 90s, then it jumps to present day.
also in the deleted scenes you find out what happened to the trucker from the original.



i bought the amaray not that long ago, think my lass will kick my ass when i get this.

 

[Ashisarobot]

Hoping for the 70's version! As it isn't, I'm not interested!

 

[harry]

Is that the girl from True Detective?

I'd recognise those anywhere.

Amen brother

 

[Koo Koo]

Crap! i miss read the title i thought this was the 2003 version

Same here but thought it was the original film. Texas Chainsaw was a decent addition as a sequel to the original 70s film but to me it's not good enough to buy, especially just for a steelbook edition. I actually prefer the lenticular slipcover America got.

 

[SaberTooth]

The info here is still wrong... according to wiki the correct title is Texas Chainsaw 3D

There was 2 Separate Blu-ray releases
