Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

I scanned through the unrated cut yesterday; it is literally extra frames of footage. In fact, there's so little added in that the runtime is identical to the theatrical cut.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

Thanks for the information. So it appears it's nothing to get worked up about, even if the download only option is ridiculous. At least it means we're not missing much, and can just rest easy with the theatrical cut.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

More or less, yes. But I do find it incredibly lame that they don't provide the unrated cut to anyone that redeems the digital copy. How hard would it have been to make that available to buyers?

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

Thanks KC. I know this movie sucks (from all the feedback) but being a TCM completist I'll pick this up, the list of extras looks pretty stellar.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

This is one of those films that I know is bad, but all the backlash it's been receiving kind of makes me like it more. This isn't a TCM 4 situation - this movie is actually kinda fun if you accept how stupid it is. You may be pleasantly surprised, even more so if you like bad '90s horror.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

I do enjoy TCM 4 more or less, since it grew on me after finally just going with the film on it's own crazy terms compared to hating it the first time for not being what I expected. Mathew McConaughey steals the show in that film and makes it more enjoyable than if he wasn't in it, and a few moments still make me laugh out loud.

And this new one is written by Adam Marcus who wrote and directed the crazy Jason Goes To Hell, which I enjoy for being so outrageous despite not making a lick of sense in continuity with the series.

I can only hope the film delivers 'that' kind of entertainment value, since I know it won't offer any scares or anything like that. But I'm still a bit skeptical, and might like it better if I had no idea what kind of film it was and then be surprised when it goes in a direction I wasn't expecting like Jason Goes To Hell did and then go along for the ride.

I do own all the other Chainsaw flicks as I enjoy them, so I guess completing the series would be cool, but if the film really sucks and I don't find any entertainment value in it, then I'd hate to own it. So it's still up in the air what I'll do. A rental is for certain, but I know that will lack the extras which sound pretty cool.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

So, even the "unrated" cut presented here doesn't contain the stuff that Dan Yeager referred to in the interview?

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

Not really. From what I saw... SPOILERS ahead, not that it matters much:

There are some extra hammer whacks when the first guy gets it. There's a good amount more gore when another guy is sawed in half. I only scanned through it, but no actual scenes have been added back in, only additional frames of gore. And horror fans know that even a few frames can make a difference in impact.

I'm hoping to see the unrated cut surface on BD in another country, maybe.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

That's how I feel as well. I have all the other films in one format or another.

I'll just wait for a really cheap price on it.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

I'm sure all the interested parties have probably seen this review of the 3D BD, but just in case, here it is anyway.

Thanks for the link!

This will be $19.99 on Blu-Ray next week at Best Buy.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

I get the feeling this will probably not be very good judging from the reviews it got but for some reason I'm pretty curious about it. I might blind buy it or at least give it a rental.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

Did Wal-Mart get some kind of exclusive cover? The one I got there is slightly different from the retail version:

Is it lenticular?

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

Nope, standard slip cover and the back seems, from what I've seen online, the same as the retail version.

Re: Texas Chainsaw 3D -- 4/30/13
 

Regular copies are lenticular. I bought it at Best Buy since they actually had ONE that didn't have a price tag stuck on it!
