I had the very same experience with this film mate, i avoided it for ages, then my other half popped it on netflix and we actually enjoyed it quite a bit.
Bradly pitts isn't our go to guy for leading role in films but he lead this film quite well and didn;t stink up the place like i thought Tom Cruise did in those 'mission not impossible when you hire Tom' films.

I still have my CannibalFerox Vipco VHS mate and i agree the film does have certain qualities that make it appealing. I was thinking after reading your post that i also think maybe a brand new transfer would take something away from the film? i think film makers back then must have taken into account that not every detail would be visible on tape so they maybe let s*it slide that they wouldn't do i f they made films with today's cameras.
great review mate.
