Surely it's time for a quality release of this after being relegated to sub-par cut versions for far too many a year now. With the success of CH and the like faring well at the bbfc the time is ripe to put it past the censors once more (I can't honestly see them cutting out 8 minutes again!). It is my favourite telling of the story and every scene looks like it could of been painted by a grand master. The cast is a horror fan's dream featuring such stalwarts as Udo Kier, Howard Vernon and Patrick Magee. Throw in some steamy, sexy scenes and shocking gore and you have a film that no self respecting horror fan should be without.
