This movie looks rough not because the blu-ray is a poor upgrade but because thats the nature of the movie itself. Blu-ray is set up to present movies in thier most authentic theatrical state, that said Texas chainsaw looks dog rough because it was made on a shoe string budget. The DVD edition isn't too different from the blu ray upgrade, but for this price it's worth picking up for the shead load of extras and the slight improvment of video quality.
