The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

 (2003)

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Blu-ray delivers great video and superb audio in this excellent Blu-ray release

A tale of five 20-somethings whose freespirited roadtrip becomes a terrifying descent into madness. When they find themselves isolated in a rural Texas community, they fall into the clutches of a monstrous clan of Texas cannibals and find themselves being whittled away by the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface.

Starring: Jessica Biel, Jonathan Tucker, Erica Leerhsen, Mike Vogel, Eric Balfour
Director: Marcus Nispel


The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Blu-ray, Video Quality

  4.0 of 5

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre slices into Blu-ray with a transfer that reflects the film's intended rotten appearance. Presented in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio, this 1080p Blu-ray looks about as good as it can given the source material. As might be expected of a dark and grimy movie, fine detail is never all that impressive; then again, the dreary, depressed, and borderline grotesque locations and color palette, combined with plenty of dark locations, don't really lend to the film an opportunity to present lavish eye candy. Interiors are often hazy and drenched in shadow, lending even less opportunity for the transfer to reveal the nitty-gritty nuances of the film's several eerie locales. Nevertheless, there are a few shots that allow the film to bask in the resolution afforded to it by Blu-ray, particularly in the film's opening segment inside the hot and stuffy van, which showcases a fair amount of sweat glistening off skin and facial hair on the men. Though much of the film is bathed in darkness, black levels can sometimes look too bright and unnatural, but then again the film must juggle between being so dark that audiences can't see what is going on and brightening things up just a bit to reveal the intricacies of the set design. The transfer also retains a generally fine layer of grain throughout. Though there is a touch of shimmering in a few scenes as well as a bit of edge enhancement, the film doesn't seem to suffer from too many other problems. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre may not be pretty, but this Blu-ray seems to capture the film's intended look nicely.


The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  4.5 of 5

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre features but one soundtrack, a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless mix. Dialogue is occasionally a bit difficult to make out, though this seems more a result of character sometimes mumbling their lines rather than forcefully annunciating each syllable. The track's true strength and most noticeable trait, however, comes in the form of its excellent, virtually seamless atmospherics. Many outdoor scenes reveal a fabulous level of environmental ambience, particularly in the form of buzzing insects, that brings the hot and sticky Texas afternoon to vivid sonic life. Indoor scenes, too, deliver the goods; Leatherface's hellish basement features the sound of dripping water and rattling chains coming from every direction; the surround speakers are used to good, natural effect here, only adding to the nasty visuals and intense violence. As to the more aggressive sound effects, the film's title weapon -- the chainsaw -- buzzes with a horrific presence and slices through wood and flesh with a terrifying volume and power. While The Texas Chainsaw Massacre isn't the most aggressive, bass-heavy, or loud soundtrack out there, its incredible sense of space and atmosphere nevertheless makes it an upper-echelon track.
