Texas Chainsaw (2013)

Texas Chainsaw Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman August 12, 2024

Lionsgate is once again partnering with Walmart to provide collectors with a set of SteelBook releases, this time with several linked "Bloody Disgusting" titles. All of the SteelBooks have similar designs that feature an emphasis on blacks, which may mean that white gloves may be in order for fingerprint and/or other smudge protection.


My Texas Chainsaw Blu-ray review of Lionsgate's wide release (which includes a 3D version also featured here) provides a plot summary, a list of supplements and my technical analyses, for those interested.

Texas Chainsaw Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  4.5 of 5

On disc supplements are detailed in the above linked review. This particular SteelBook continues with the overall black look that adorns all of the day and date Bloody Disgusting releases, but this one is accented in a kind of interesting gold-orange adjacent tone. The front panel offers a spooky, almost subliminal, skull along with a veritable damsel in distress. The back panel follows the branding choice of all these Bloody Disgusting SteelBooks by offering a quote. The interior panels feature a photograph of a certain chainsaw wielding character. A digital copy is included. All of these similarly branded SteelBooks have a J card.


Texas Chainsaw Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  2.5 of 5

As perhaps indicated by the overall score I gave this film when it first came out, I wasn't especially excited or even entertained by it. That said, this kind of branded packaging may appeal to collectors who couldn't care less about the actual movie, and in that regard this particular SteelBook will make a handsome sibling to the other Bloody Disgusting releases coming out simultaneously with this one.
