• Jaws | DVD | (24/07/2000) from £15.09   |  Saving you £4.90 (32.47%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Jaws revolutionised Hollywood, single-handedly invented the summer blockbuster, spawned three increasingly poor sequels, and became the first film to gross more than 100 million dollars. Unlike many recent blockbusters, however, in Jaws the audience really cares about the fate of the men engaged in their duel with the monster. Granted the shark looks fake, but we willingly suspend our disbelief as storytelling and character development count for far more than mere special effects, adding enormously to the movie's suspense, excitement and sheer terror. The cast and screenplay are exemplary, but it was Steven Spielberg who emerged as the film's true star, while John Williams' unforgettable Oscar-winning score made him almost as much of as household name as the young director.On the DVD: For a Steven Spielberg movie and an all-time classic, this 25th Anniversary Edition release is impressive, but not all it could be. The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 ratio picture is superb, as is the re-mixed Dolby Digital 5.1 sound (the film was originally released in mono). It is a joy to see the film's picture and sound quality rescued from years of television and VHS screenings, offering a reminder of what all the fuss was about in the first place. The deleted scenes are quite interesting, offering more background on Brody, Hooper and Quint, including the latter's bizarre vocal duel with a boy playing the recorder! The four photo galleries are good, but some captions would have helped enormously. Disappointingly, there's no director's commentary, the best extra being a 50-minute documentary, "The Making of Jaws". This is excellent, and quite different from the BBC television production, "In the Teeth of Jaws". Even if you've seen that, there's much more to learn here. --Gary S. Dalkin

  In 1974, Tobe Hooper changed the face of horror with his landmark film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Relocating the cannibalistic Sawyers to a cavernous labyrinth beneath an amusement park, Hooper's deliciously demented sequel sees local DJ Stretch running afoul of them 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, who perished in the original massacre. Whichever way you skin it, Leatherface's second cinematic outing is an uncompromisingly delirious vision from one of the masters of horror. 2-DISC 4K ULTRA HD SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS DISC 1 - THE FILM (4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY) 4K restoration from the original negative 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) Original lossless stereo 2.0 audio Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Audio commentary with director Tobe Hooper Audio commentary with stars Bill Moseley, Caroline Williams and special effects legend Tom Savini Audio commentary with cinematographer Richard Kooris, production designer Cary White, script supervisor Laura Kooris and property master Michael Sullivan DISC 2 - BONUS FEATURES (BLU-RAY) Are We Not Both the Living Dead?, a visual essay by Scout Tafoya You've Got Good Taste: Cannibal Camp and Perverse Parody, a visual essay by Miranda Corcoran Stretch Lives!, an interview with Caroline Williams Serving Tom, an interview with makeup effects artist Gabe Bartalos Texas Blood Bath, an interview with makeup effects artist Barton Mixon Remember the Alamo, an interview with actor Kirk Sisco Die Yuppie Scum, an interview with actor Barry Kinyon Extended interviews with Tobe Hooper and co-producer Cynthia Hargrave from Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films It Runs in the Family, (plus outtakes!) on the film's genesis, making and enduring appeal House of Pain, an interview with makeup effects artists Mixon, Bartalos, Gino Crognale and John Vulich Yuppie Meat, an interview with actors Chris Douridas and Barry Kinyon Cutting Moments, an interview with editor Alain Jakubowicz Behind the Mask and Cutting Moments with Bob Elmore, two interviews with Leatherface's performer Horror's Hallowed Grounds, a featurette exploring the film's locations Still Feelin' the Buzz, an interview with horror expert Stephen Thrower Behind-the-scenes Alternate opening credits Deleted scenes Trailers and TV spots Still gallery Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Ilan Sheady
