My copy of Combat Shock is on its way from HMV.

My copy of Combat Shock arrived this morning, looks like another impressive Arrow package for the measly sum of six quid.Looking forward to giving it a watch as it was a film championed by one of my favourite horror journalists, the late Chas Balun.

As someone who's never seen this before, which cut should I watch first?

Theatrical or Director's Original?

I would like to know this too, reviews saying the DC is ultra depressing so maybe I should let myself try the Troma cut first.

I'd start with the theatrical version and then move on to the director's cut. At least, that's the way I did it and am glad I didn't watch them the other way round.

It's just less grim. And cut's out alot of poinbtless scene's.

im going to go with the DC 1st as i know full well before buying it was going to be grim grimer the better LOL

i hear the theatrical cut has more stock footage or is it the other way round


im looking forward to the pure nihilism


would it be fair to say it will be as grim as Schramm: Into the Mind of a Serial Killer


also it would be cool if arrow put out some Jörg Buttgereit movies

Sounds like a plan. I shall heed this advice.
