Still it's not often you get rabbit eating plants or ones that jump through windows .Its British exploitation at its best,just never let Donald Pleasance ever water your house plants, he'll just feed them your pets or naked lady.

You'd think someone would have released it over here seeing as it's British.  |
My copy is a shitty US bootleg from Desert Island Classics although it does port over the commentary from the old release and picture quality wise is fine other than being too bloody bright, but that's easily rectified.
