The quality of the DVD is very good. Clean and clear image, a few audio drop outs and a grainy segment or two within the film, probably from the transfer of footage from other sources. The story is basically about a sick-o running around a womans loony bin killing patients and nurses with an assortment of mediaeval weapons. There is lots of nudity, a couple of explicit female nude scenes. Not a kids film by all means. The plot is good but the way it the movie was edited together is poor. There are jump cuts, continuity errors and dialogue drop out that will annoy most viewers who seek technically well made films. The director did a great job annoying me with the set up for each sex scene. The director used very loud, confusing, claustrophobic music while adding a montage of flashbacks to make the viewer feel uncomfortable before and durring each nude and sex scene and murder scene. The only highlighting factor for the first 3/4 of the movie are all the nude scenes. The rest of the movie is rather dull. The murders in the last 20 minutes are pretty cool. The director did a great job casting. Kinski is good and the two female leads are beautiful. In my opinion the director did a splendid job annoying me with jump cuts, overdone flashback scenes, bad mood music that kept looping over and over again durring the sex scenes and very ugly, I mean butt ugly male leads. The woman are all cute, except for the one with the bad skin complexion and nasty pimple above her eye. If you like sleazy sex, bad effects, crappy mood music, ugly male leads, hot female leads who like to get naked, jump cuts, annoying flashback scenes that drag on and on plus very long sequences that have no plot value at all then this is for you. If you plan on getting this to fill your need for Klaus Kinski then this drudge will do.
I get to Chapter 14 or thereabouts, and - Aaargh - I'm back on the menu screen. Right at the end of the film... A re-press please, Mr Macabro!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone else had problems like this?

The 2003 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre adheres to the pure and simple slasher movie formula: Introduce a gaggle of sexy young people, make vague gestures to distinguish them--Jessica Biel (Summer Catch) wants to get married and doesn't like pot, so she's our moral compass--then start hacking them to pieces one by one. The visual palette includes grimy crucified dolls, fly-specked pig carcasses, body parts floating in murky jars, a tobacco-chewing redneck sheriff, and many slender beams of sunlight cutting through dank, dusty interiors. The camera lovingly photographs Biel's tank-topped bosom and sculpted abs as she's running in terror from a bloated, chainsaw-wielding, human-skin-wearing maniac. This remake lacks the macabre comedy of the original; it's all about...
