TCM: The Beginning Unrated - 1/16/07
Just saw it posted...
http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releas...massacre9.html oooh Creepy Flesh Like slipcase! |
Lame cover.
|
I dont like the unrated on the front. They should have kept in along the same lines as the remake's cover. I hope this is a 2-disc set as well.
|
I never caught this one in the theater, but like the original remake will probably be a blind-purchase on release week...
|
Not sure about that cover. But if the flesh-slipcover is cool, I might pick it up. I never saw it theatrically and it seemed to have received a wide gamut of reviews.
|
The movie was terrible. It was 98% of the movie with the sheriff f'n with people and 2% of the time Leatherace and family. Seriously, Leatherface has a cameo in this movie. It should be titled Sheriff Fucking With Kids.
|
We've got the final details for the the discs, as well as box art for the R-rated (below).

Just saw that... thats the cover i would have liked for the unrated. Guess a custom cover may be in the works for the unrated one.
|
Well if we're lucky,the keepcase for the unrated won't have the image used on the slipcase. Though most studios use the exact same artwork on keepcases and slip covers. So I guess I won't get my hopes up on that.
I do hope,however,that New Line includes both versions of the film on the unrated release like they did with Wedding Crashers, Blade Trinity and countless other films. But even that may not happen if their unrated Dumb & Dumber is any indication. That's their first unrated release I'm aware of that didn't offer the theatrical/rated version as an option. |

i guess most people will prefer the rated cover, which is a bit unfair, because who will buy a rated version, if there also is an unrated one?
the unrated cover is a bit digusting (which was probably their goal for the unrated version and the film theme) and reminds me a of mason verger alias gary oldman in "hannibal" :D |
it doesn't surprise in the slightest that there is an unrated cut, the theatrical R-rated version was probably one of the few R-rated films that bordered right on the NC-17 rating cusp.
|
Didn't see this theatrically, but looking forward to the DVD. As for covers, I tend to prefer those of the unrated versions, and the same goes for this one.

Here is a review of the dvd with spoilers and a nice unrated scene photo,which is a major spoiler. So don't click the link if you don't want things ruined for you.

i also missed this one in theaters. i usually wait for horror movies to come to dvd cause the unrated versions.
i added this one to my personal dvd release scedule a 2 weeks ago. it got bad reviews but critics tend to be wrong sometimes. |
I can't wait to see what this flesh-like cover is going to look/feel like..
|
Looking forward to seeing this.
|
I don't know if I'll spend any more money on this awful piece of shit, even if it means that my TCSM collection will be incomplete. It's easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen. When I saw it in theatres, I wanted to leave half-way through. However, I stuck it out, in the hopes that it would get better.

|
I've been looking forward to this release! I didn't get to see it in the theater, but I'm hoping that the Unrated version is even gorier than what I heard about the theatrical version.
|
I missed this in the theater and it seems the reviews here are mixed about this one. Being a TCM fan I will be picking up the unrated and keeping my fingers crossed on the quality.
|
Thankfully, this is coming out only in the single disc variety-- both rated and unrated-- so there's no exorbitant pricing for a 2-disc. Best Buy has it for $16.99, Circuit City for $14.99. No promotions worth noting, unless one cares about a movie ticket to Number 23. Will be getting it at Best Buy and price matching.
--THX |
Getting it at BB for the free ticket and TCM3 for $20 total. Sounds like the best deal to me.

Went to get it, and absolutely nothing special about it. I didn't buy it. |
Well I'm buying the Unrated for the content, not for the fleshy-ish cover. Can't wait to see this movie again. I know most people hate these TCM remakes but I actually dig them.
|
I actually quite enjoyed the brutality of this movie and was very entertained, I actually went to a showing with nobody else besides my friend and I in the theatre. I think I am going to pass on the dvd because I'm not sure how much replay it'd get.

I wasn't buying it for the cover either. I usually hold off on a DVD until it drops to $10 unless it has something special that I don't want to disappear over time (i.e. flesh slipcover). There was nothing special that I have to worry about, so I passed until it goes on sale. |
Saw this the other day and was surprised that it didn't suck.
I did watch the unrated version, and I can honestly say it was one of the goriest mainstream horror movies I've ever seen. |
Just picked it up from best buy...i was expecting the cover to feel something like the book of the dead dvds or something.....

Yeah, that's how I was expecting it to feel also. Well, I passed on it today and opted to pick up Employee of the Month w/ the bonus disc instead, but now I'm sitting here thinking about TCM too much, so I'll probably just go get it... |
Snowed in today, so wasn't able to get out. But reading here, I'm getting the impression that the "fleshy" slipcover that was promoted when this was announced isn't what was hyped. What is it, just standard cardboard? Nothing unique about it at all?
--THX |
So, what DID it feel like? :p

It's...smoother. Like....as if you're rubbing half-dried clay. :) I'm sorry...it's really hard to explain. At first it didn't feel fleshy at all, but the more I was playing with it, the more I realized they really were trying to make it feel like skin. |
Hmmmmm. Thanks, Sabrett. I never saw the movie (but read a lot of opinions) and have been debating a blind buy.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing, either. I saw it in the theater, and there was a lot of gore. The story itself was pretty good...but I know I bought it mostly because I'm a completist and it went with my TCM collection. |
