Saturation, contrast, and sharpness are pretty great, though, and the 5.1 and 7.1 remasters sound every bit as good as you'd expect. This 4k remaster is quite good looking, although the original 16mm grain could have been better managed. Several of them wander onto the neighboring property, which happens to be the home of a family of freakish cannibal murderers, and things do not go very well for anyone. After the graveyard, they decide to visit the grandparents' old homestead, which is largely in disrepair, and have to wait there until the local gas station gets fuel delivery. On the way, they pick up a hitchhiker who displays some very disturbing behavior, and they kick him out of the van. The story is as simple as it is effective, a group of young people travel to rural Texas because of reports of grave robbing in the area where the grandparents of two of them are buried. If you haven't seen it, you need to, and if you have, well, watch it again. It's absolutely brutal, despite the relative lack of gore, I think most people remember it as gorier than it actually is, because so much extreme violence is implied, not seen, and it's also a cynical, pessimistic vision of early 70s America where the old and their traditions literally devour the young and those who dare step out of line, one of the few truly American folk horror movies, with the sunbaked Texas landscape, dotted with putrid slaughterhouses and half-ruined homesteads becoming a character in itself, a cursed place inhabited by brutal sociopaths who are stuck in, and part of, the land. It's been called one of the greatest horror films ever made (no doubt), the start of the slasher genre (kind of, it definitely introduced a lot of the classic elements), a metaphor for the Vietnam war (definitely one thing Hooper had in mind while making it), and a waking nightmare (seems about right). Note : It's hard to know what to say about this film, even almost 50 years later. German subtitles (for the film and the commentary tracks) converted to VobSub and repositioned.
