Of course you want to know — When do I get it?

We strive at all times to get it to you sooner but here are some indications:

If we say In Stock, we dispatch same day (if ordered before 14:00 on a working day) and depending on where you stay it will be with you the next working day (Main Centres) or the next working day after that (Regional Areas). If you are in a remote area it may take an additional working day (a day longer than Regional).

If we say In Stock (You can also collect in cpt), the stock is available from our Cape Town warehouse and you can collect on the same working day if your payment has been authorised and you collect before 5pm.

If we say dispatched between X and Y days then it takes X to Y days to receive from a supplier and it will then be with you within a working day after dispatched (Main Centres) or the working day after that (Regional Areas). If you are in a remote area it may take an additional working day (a day longer than Regional Areas).

If we say Pre-order it means that your item will be dispatched to you on the day it's released.

We always try our very best to get it to you as soon as possible but cannot guarantee same day delivery.

Imports are a best effort service, we strive to get it to you as soon as possible within the guidelines above but it's not always within our complete control so if something goes wrong we will let you know.

And then there's a Friday, sigh... Try order early on a Friday, we can then try our best to get it to you on the same day (Main centres), otherwise we will have to get it to you during the next week.

If this is all too confusing, call us on 0861 222 989 or send an e-mail to info@takealot.com. One of our friendly employees will get back to you pronto.

Description

On August 20th 1973, police were dispatched to the remote farmhouse of Thomas Hewitt, a former head-skinner at a local slaughterhouse in Travis County, Texas. What they found within the confines of his cryptic residence was the butchered remains of 33 victims, a chilling discovery that shocked and horrified a nation in what many still call the most gruesome mass murder case of all time. Brandishing a chainsaw and wearing the grotesque flesh masks of his victims, the killer became forever known as "Leatherface" when sensational headlines were splashed across newspapers throughout the state of Texas: "House of Horrors Stuns Nation - Massacre in Texas." Police and FBI eventually gunned down a man wearing a leathery mask and declared they had their killer and abruptly closed the case. However, in the years that followed, many close to the grisly murder case would come forward to level accusations that police had botched the investigation and knowingly killed the wrong man. Now, for the first time, the only known survivor of the killing spree has broken the silence and come forward to tell the real story of what happened on that deserted rural Texas highway when a group of five young kids inadvertently found themselves besieged by a chainsaw wielding madman who would leave a trail of blood and terror that would forever be known as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Graham, Durbanville. 29 March 2005

Introduction narration:
“The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But had they lived long lives, they could not have expected, nor would they have wished to see, as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them, an idyllic summer afternoon became a nightmare. For 30 years, the files collected dust on the cold cases division of the Travis County Police Department. Over 1,300 pieces of evidence were collected from the crime scene at the Hewitt residence. Yet none of the evidence was more compelling than the classified police footage of the crime scene walk though.
The events of that day were to lead to one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”

REVEIW
If any of you didn’t know, this is the remake of the 1974 movie by the same name.
This must be the greatest movie re-make I’ve ever seen! It’s absolutely terrifying and amazing at the same time!

Forget all these new age horror flicks that Hollywood keeps on pushing out! This is defiantly no teen-slasher-flick, it’s pure terror!!!
Forget Wes Craven’s Scream or Hide and Seek, there is only one true horror these days and it’s called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The Saw is Law!

As five youths are driving through rural Texas in their van, they pick up a deranged hitchhiker who shoots herself in the head. They then proceed to try and contact the local sheriff and from there on out it’s a Massacre. They’re promptly killed of one by one by none other than Leatherface.

This is supposed to be a re-make, but it is SO MUCH more! It actually extends into being a movie on it’s own. There are different characters in this one and a new family. Everything fits into place perfectly.

The sound and picture quality are perfect. Since this movie was made to look dark, don’t even bother trying to watch it during the day. Nighttime is the only time for this movie!

The extras are also pretty stylish aw well. From the documentary to the deleted scenes and the creepy alternate ending, it’s a must. Don’t forget to check out the Ed Gein documentary on the Bonus DVD either. After watching it, you’ll know where Norman Bates (Psycho), Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs), Leatherface (TCM) and a few others come from!

If you want to have your girlfriend hold onto you, then this is the movie! My girlfriend and I watched this movie at a friend’s house on his 72inch TV. She held onto me so tightly that she actually bruised several of my ribs on my right! OW!

This is a 100% must buy!!!! Get it today!!!!

“ The saw is Law!”
