The film was shot on 16mm to create a deliberately grainy look, hopefully with BU doing the transfer it isn't going to have the annoying grain filtering of some recent cult releases.
The film itself is quite understated - although stemming from the 70s, it eschews the blood and guts of the contemporary Eurocult films in favour of characterisation and atmosphere.
I reviewed it some time ago -
Shock Waves.
