![]() The main review and disc details by Slarek are joined by a first viewing recollection by Camus. I feel like they probably tie into the astrology/occult thing going on in the film, I just can't think of how at the moment.Slarek and Camus re-examine what makes Tobe Hopper's seminal independent horror movie 1974 THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE a horror masterpiece, and celebrate Second Sight's definitive 40th Anniversary Blu-ray. One thing I loved about TCM was the emphasis of the sun and the moon shots. It's as if the kids enter a vortex travelling in the van and it pulls them along like the orbit of the planets or the pull of the tide by the moon. TCM is a relentlessly ugly and searingly bleak film, but there's also beauty and as illustrated here, a mystical element to the violence, given the astrological tidings referenced throughout. ![]() I'd like to read about his spiritual views if anyone could point me to a link or interview, if he ever discussed them. Since other people have pointed out Hooper's use of it in other films seems to suggest it was legitimate source of intrigue for him. There's a few articles about TCM's use of astrology and I wrote a review for Letterboxd about the significance of the occult practise in prophesying their doom. TCM is a relentlessly ugly and searingly bleak film, but there's also beauty and as illustrated here, a mystical or metaphysical element to the events, given the astrological tidings referenced throughout. Pam seems to reveal that Sally, perhaps, was the magnet that attracted the group to the Sawyer clan, because she announces early that Sally is a Capricorn and Capricorn is ruled by the malefic Saturn - which is popularly supposed to be the blame of everything calamitous when it's in retrograde, as we all know. The good news is Second sight's customer service is great and are going to be my go to from now on, even if it will cost me more next time. I now have 120 pounds in amazon credits and 200$ Canadian less in my bank account. The only reason I did was because my wife had given me a gift card specifically for Texas 4k for our anniversary. Good lord, never again will I buy from amazon uk. They send me a copy but the box was beat up but unlike amazon that outsource their customer service to India and have the most incompetent employees i've ever seen, Second sight are absolutely lovely and will send me the box only to replace my damaged box. I guess they have my money taken as hostage because I have to use it on their website.Īnyway, I bought a copy directly after that from Second sight. I even have an email from amazon from 2 weeks ago assuring me they'd refund me on my visa but it doesn't matter, the employees just hang up on the chat before I have time to explain my situation, just saying sorry we can't help you. I've talked to 8 different employees and they all told me it was impossible for me to get my money back because they have already sent me the amazon credits. They still wanted me to send it back but I had to pay for the shipping, although they promised me they'd pay me back on my visa. They asked for me to send it back but it was going to cost me nearly 70$ Canadian. ![]() No more copies on amazon uk so they couldn't send me another copy. I'm from Canada and they put it in a flimsy envelope. Bought a copy of the limited edition on amazon uk.
