I think anyone new to the film (and many in the UK haven't seen it as it's not been out since VHS days) might benefit more from member perspectives about what's cool about this incredibly visual horror epic so how about some thoughts on that?

One of my favourite moments is a small one - the camera pushing through the curtains and suddenly we're in that incredible library - some well judged and restrained (unusual in this film) music as well. For me you'd be hard pushed to find such a mood-setting scene in a modern horror film.

Yes buying a cut movie is not something I like to do, I own the cut AB dvd of Last House and the extras were really good. I then went and bought the uncut 3 disc set when it went cheap.

In terms of double dipping, I try and avoid it as I cant afford to do that much but if the cuts to Inferno are not noticeable then I will go for it as Im sure Arrow will create a awesome package. :)

People who weren't even close to being born when some of them were made. A percentage of people already having a version doesn't justify not making it available to a new audience. Something like Island Of Death could be marketed on it's notoriety alone and be a stepping stone to other films. That could even be done if it was cut too. The more the merrier. There are far less titles now that would necessitate cuts and I for one would have loved to have saved money on imports over the years. Hopefully new collectors in the UK can be spared some of that.

It looked like they were just cashing in on unsuspecting buyers

I kept my cut dvd tho as selling it will be pointless.
