HDN EXCLUSIVE PICS IN THE SPOILER BELOW!!

Got some Hi-Def Ninja exclusive pics for you all!

Arrow were very kind to send me out a review copy of this, and I was very surprised to see it's pretty much a retail copy! They've told me the only difference will be that the slipcase will be more of a slip box :)

I have to say I think it looks superb!

In 1974, Tobe Hooper quite literally changed the face of horror with his landmark film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Although the hulking Leatherface and his trusty power tool left an indelible mark upon the cinematic landscape, it wouldn’t be until 1986 that the buzz came back… in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2!

Relocating the cannibalistic Sawyer clan to a cavernous, labyrinthian dwelling beneath an amusement park, Hooper’s deliciously demented sequel sees Leatherface and Co. continue their murderous exploits afresh. This time around, local DJ Stretch runs afoul of the Sawyers when she gets mixed up in the brutal slaying of two youngsters. Meanwhile, Lieutenant ‘Lefty’ Enright, is hell-bent on avenging the murder of his nephew Franklin in the first movie.

A cult classic in its own right, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 serves up a heady blend of gratuitous gore, socio-political critique and jet-black humour – whilst Dennis Hopper’s unhinged turn as Lefty needs to be seen to be believed! Whichever way you skin it, Leatherface’s second cinematic outing is an uncompromisingly delirious vision from one of horror’s great directors

Ordered this direct from Arrow at £14.99. I don't mind them taking the money straight away. Anyone with a love for film collecting should support this company. Amazon and now Zavvi are monopolising the market way too much..

I have this fantastic box set had it on pre-order day one

The extras are just class
Its been voted arrow video release of the year

I have only one small complaint the slipcase could have been better it can be easily damaged if your not careful
I would have liked the slipcase to have been stronger cardboard

Overall the attention arrow put into there releases is amazing
If your into extras arrow video are simply the kings of extras this release and all arrow video releases you get fantastic extras
Its a pity other studios don't give there releases the same attention
