One of the most beloved horror franchises around is set to get not one, but two completely new restorations this summer. The original Texas Chain Saw Massacre and its direct sequel, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, have received fantastic 4K restorations over the years, and now the rebooted era of the Leatherface saga is getting the same treatment. Boutique physical media label Arrow Video recently announced its lineup for August 2025, which includes two Texas Chainsaw films from the 2000s.
The 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the titles receiving the full 4K restoration and release treatment from Arrow, with the disc set to be released on August 26th. It makes sense to see that film getting the new release, considering it’s largely considered the best Texas Chainsaw movie since Tobe Hooper’s original, and that director Marcus Nispel also had his Friday the 13th reboot remastered by Arrow late last year.
August 26th will also see Arrow Video unveil its 4K restoration of 2006 prequel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. Both movies have received new art for these releases, along with a horde of special features.
