First thing you need to know is I'm a huge fan of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The first time I saw it was on an old VHS and a 26 inch TV screen, and it scared the hell out of me. I've never seen the original Toby Hooper film on the big screen, so I'm excited to report that a restored version of the film is going to get a theatrical release in 4k! This is what Hollywood should be doing instead of developing remakes.
The re-release comes in celebration of the film’s 40th anniversary, and the restored version will have its unveiling at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas next week. Below you will find the press release from Styd:
This is the only transfer of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to go back to the original 16mm A/B rolls, the actual film that rolled through the cameras.
