OVERALL: Draw

The Screenbound disc is uncut and has extras while the Anchor Bay includes an additional commentary track. Do note that the German and French releases also have some exclusive extras, although they are not all English friendly and use the faulty restoration and the German release has some extra faults in the transfer.

There is also a vanilla release available from Anchor Bay UK under the 'Horror Classics' label which should be avoided as well as a US release from Olive Films.

CUTS:

• R0 Germany- Wicked-Vision Media - Yes, missing some sound cues and part of the ending (94:12 PAL)
• R0 United Kingdom- Odeon Entertainment - No cuts as such (93:16 PAL). English opening credits restored, but then as Anchor Bay, i.e. VHS-sourced English closing credits.
• R0 United Kingdom- Screenbound Pictures - No cuts.
• R2 France- DVDY Films - No known cuts.
• R2 France- ESC Editions - Yes. Missing some sound cues and end scene footage; see above (93:41 PAL).
• R2 Germany- Koch Media - No known cuts.
• R2 Italy- Pulp Video - No cuts as such - but see main details above.
• R2 United Kingdom- Anchor Bay Entertainment - No cuts as such (93:15 PAL, excluding 1:00 of dead screen at the end). But the new master was created from the only existing and useable negative, which was the German version (English soundtrack was still available). Some seconds are missing from the end of the film, just before the credits (English end credits are taken from the VHS-source).
