Texas Chain Saw Massacre (40th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray) (Blu-ray)

Now presented with never before seen special features, Tobe Hooper's horror classic arrives completely restored and remastered in a vivid eye-popping 4K high-definition transfer - sharp enough to tear your nerves to shreds! A tale far too horrific to be real - a van full of friends, a dusty back road in Texas, the thud of a mallet, the buzz of a chainsaw, muted screams and the tearing of flesh? Considered by many as the bloody benchmark of horror movies, the original 1974 Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a visceral experience like none other. Inspired by the real-life story of murderer Ed Gein, it follows five young students who unwittingly meet up with a sinister hitchhiker (Edwin Neal) and stumble across a house of horrors where mask-wearing maniac Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen) rules with a wooden mallet and the ultimate weapon of torture - a whirring chainsaw.
