To be honest, considering what some people watch on the internet, I don't think this film will be quite so shocking to today's audiences. However, I had pretty much the same reaction as you, I was stunned by the sheer ferocity and violence of the film. I knew it was something special though, and being part of the nasties scandal, it felt like watching a piece of film history. Never had a film had such an impact on me as this one. I doubt younger viewers will have that experience, though.

I've screened it twice at Brunel to a room full of students and they always come away with some pretty stunned faces!

I'd like to show it UCLan Cult Film, I think it would get some interesting reactions. The couple of people I have show it to have really been affected by it, but they have all agreed that it is a fatastically made flick.

One of the best

im sure somebody has asked this but can find an answer through all the posts. Is this going to have a cut with no animal cruelty; it all taken out? and on blu?

[Daemonia]

Sarah would probably be best qualified to answer that query. My understanding is that the disc will contain two versions: one which will be as near as uncut as possible and the other being Deodato's new edit. What the latter will contain I have no idea.

Is it better than Turkey Twizzlers? How about the correct preparation and cooking techniques for a monkey's brain?

When this film was around in 1982, the animal cruelty wasn't even talked about. People were shocked at the extreme sexual violence, some of which was cut from the Go Video pre cert release.

The only film at the time that caused a bit of an outcry regarding animal cruelty was Faces of Death. Even though it was full of animal slaughter footage, it was the monkey having its brains bashed in that caused all the uproar... a scene later discovered to be fake.

It was only about 15-20 years ago that people started protesting against the animal cruelty in CH. Personally I think its ridiculous to make such a huge fuss about the animal cruelty when the spiked dildo scene, the rape of the native Indio girl, and the forced abortion sequence are far more shocking and horrific.

Political correctness has done all this...
