First off, anyone who says that the quality of this screener is too good to be a telecine is wrong. To put matters straight, a telecine is a conversion from film to video or vice versa. The reason that you get bad ones is because whoever had access to these facilities probably leaves a telecine running over night on one picture setting. In order to do a successful telecine it is necessary to make sure that each individual shot has it's visual specifications altered appropriately. People don't generally do the process properly because it is illegal and these facilities are invariably in legitimate facilities that don't condone this sort of practice. Telecine potential is as good as the format to which it is being transfered to, i.e. DVD, VHS, DV, etc. How do you think legitimate studios and distributors transfer from film to video in order to sell there product to you; the consumer?
Secondly, Tobe Hooper's version of TCM was no masterpiece and i'm sorry if i've offended any die hard horror fans, but it's true. The original was, without doubt, an important and even ground breaking in its own right. The remake has sustained the feeling of helplessness from the original, as well as improving on the cinematography. The acting was better in the remake and they improved the god awful hitchhiker scene, which almost ruined the original. The later version had it's faults, i.e. the over elaborate chase scene at the end, but with the above list of improvements considered, i see no reason why not to conclude that the 2003 version is an all round better film.
Great rip (or telecine), great sound, good movie
10/10/8
Tobe Hoopers original recieves a 6.
