I'm not sure, but I liked it will be a while before anything is confirmed to do with Phenomena simply because I imagine all time and effort is going into Inferno.

Reviews of the Dragon DVD suggest that the 'Integral' version has the Italian language only scenes with subtitles, not in English.

Phenomena

Quote:
Yes at last, we have an English friendly print of the (strangely labelled) 'Integral' version of the film but maybe not as English friendly as some would have wished. Firstly although Dragon turned over every stone to try obtain the English audio for the re-instated 'integral' scenes (of which account for around six minutes) they were unsuccessful. While previous DVD releases from Anchor Bay (like Torso and Deep Red) suffered similar audio problems, they tackled this by automatically inserting English subtitles onto said Italian language scenes - Dragon's Phenomena disc doesn't provide this, but should the English market be chastising a German company for this? Lets look at this further - the disc is of German origin, the print is of Italian origin - the disc contains both full German audio and the full Italian audio also. For German fans that want to watch the film in Italian with German subtitles they can do this also. Now is it just me, or is the inclusion of any English audio or subtitles (albeit not perfectly polished off) a welcome addition? I think so! The subtitling isn't perfect, but then I have yet to see any Japanese DVD deliver perfect English translations either. What we do get is the opportunity to see for the first time the 'integral' version with 99% of its audio in optional English audio or (my own preferred option and should be yours also) the film with its full Italian audio track (as per the print) with English subtitles throughout. Of course, there will be the odd occasion where you will chuckle at some of the subtitling (like the Fangoria magazine references or Donald Pleasance talking about the 'suffering and ironing' following his crippling accident) but this will no way ruin your pleasure in watching the film.

Phenomena is another Argento riot-fest.
It may not be up there with Tenebrae and Deep Red,but it contains enough energy and various subjects for ten movies!

Like Profondo Rosso, this is a day one purchase if it comes out on BD (actually, I already pre-ordered it ).

But if it ends up being DVD only, I'll probably skip it, since I have 2 DVD editions already (including Dragon's limited 2 disc set, with the Integral cut; on a side note, both Argento and Simonetti signed the cover of my copy ).
