I know I'm not the only one out there that has a big piece of love for the 4th installment in THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE series TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION starring Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey. The film is strange as all shit, but I love that it thinks outside the box and brings one hell of a twist to the relatively simple slasher series.
And if you're a fan of the film like I am then you'll be excited to hear that Scream Factory will be bringing the movie to Blu-ray this Fall! This will be branded as a “Collector’s Edition” that will come with a slipcover boasting newly-commissioned artwork from Joel Robinson. The reverse side of the wrap will be the original theatrical poster design.
For those who might not know, the film follows a group of kids who:
After leaving their prom early crash their car in the backwoods of Texas. In their search for help, they run into Vilmer Slaughter (Matthew McConaughey), a vicious psychopath with a mechanical leg, and his twisted family, including the serial killer Leatherface. As the group of friends struggle to survive the maniacal methods of torture, Jenny discovers the secret origins behind the family's lust for blood.
Extras and specs are still in progress and will be announced later in August. That said, we can confirm today that the release will have a high-definition transfer of the theatrical cut and the Scream Factory team are working on obtaining the extended version. We will update you on the progress in the future.
Until then you can check out the new cover art below and then get ready as the national street date is planned for September 25th.
