OVERALL: Draw
The Shout/Timeless Media version has an anamorphic transfer in OAR & the inclusion of the 'International cut' deleted scene. The Synapse SE also has a few minor additional extras & additional dialogue missing from the Shout/Timeless Media release during the opening operation scene.
The Diamond transfer is reported to be as good as the other two releases, and comes in a double feature with "The Amazing Transparent Man".
The "Elvira Movie Macabre" set has some exclusive extras but mostly not related to the film itself.
The US Brentwood set has a 5.1 remix, but lacks the original mono and uses a fullscreen transfer. -
