Great film, I have both the MGM and german uncut releases. One of my favorites, it has such a strange feel that I could never put my finger on.

It was indeed released on UK VHS by Exploited and, as I recall, had the eye/brain scooping footage ( which is of lesser quality ) integrated into the movie. Mind you, the end killing was cut by James 'Speilberg' Ferman.

I have the ( incomplete ) MGM disc, but would love to see it get the Arrow treatment.

I also seem to recall that Exploited weren't allowed to use the famous ' hanging upside down by the legs' poster because it was deemed obscene. Or something. Maybe they should have put a red bow on it as was done with the first Tenebrae dvd. Christ, things were crap back then! :pound:

I'd also love an Arrow release of this also. Has that great stark and desolate atmosphere mostly unique to many Canadian horror films.

I know BU have released Deathdream but how about Arrow do a BD of this also?

I second this!

Never seen this film, although I've wanted to for ages, is the MGM double feature disc any good as it's a damn sight cheaper than the 30th anniversary edition mentioned earlier?


The boat can leave now, tell the crew

It's pretty cool just cut. It comes with Motel Hell which is a fun movie.

I might have to check it out, like I said I've wanted to see it for ages

Well, Arrow have answered our wishes with regards to this one. Hopefully it will be a good release.

Yep, it is a great release of a grungy little classic.

Tom Savini is on fine form in his commentary.

Yep - I've reviewed this over at Avforums. Check it out.

I must be close to being able to post links soon! Lol.

Cheers guys,

A fantastic release for a fantastic film, very highly recommended.

I'd like deathdream on BD next, another little gem of a film.
