I do love Texas Chainsaw Massacre but I'm perfectly happy with my Second Steelbook.

The first review of 'Martin' from Blueprint: Review

"So, the long wait was worth it. Second Sight, as usual, have pulled out all the stops to bring us the definitive release of Romero’s unsung classic. It’s a shame the extended cut of the film hasn’t managed to get through the legal issues it faces over rights, but Second Sight’s release has everything else you’d possibly want. Get it bought!"

5/5

The screen shots in the above review that Susan posted are 1.33:1 which is how it should be.

In all my life i've watched Martin once, via the Arrow dvd.

I did like it but not seemingly enough to want to revisit it.

Those screen grabs don't really er' grab me i'm afraid. Outdoor shots look green to my eyes.

This new release doesn't seem to include Wampyr - The Italian cut with the Goblin score which may disappoint some.

I should check it out again on dvd and see if i fancy getting the non-limited Blu-ray.

I think there is a decent quality version free via YouTube, if you can't find the DVD in your massive collection

I was nonplussed the first time I watched it. I enjoyed it much more on a revisit so I will definitely pick the blu release up at some point. I don't like Second Sights habit of only releasing a fancy pants 4k set or a standard edition though. I'd happily buy a limited edition blu ray set for a price somewhere in between.
