Its totally awful and barmy but in a good way. Features one piece of dialoug that had me in stiches.

"doctor how long have you been f*****g fish?!"

"their old enough!"

A group of irritating teens get stranded at sea through their own stupidity and end up on an adrift science vessel where some genuinely weird $%$t has been going on. Again, a bad film certainly but a fun one as well.

Have you seen Cormans own remake of Humanoids from the Deep starring Emma Samms (Dynasty)

Thats very enjoyable.

Yes I know. I like them! They're $7.99 at my local. I don't mind paying that much. Inside the canvas slipcover is the ordinary special edition of each film.

The Nouveaux Pics one? I rented it a few years ago.

It's perfectly watchable, but is non-anamorphic (not too bad with 1.66:1) and the pic is a little fuzzier than the Criterion.

Not a bad transfer by any means, just that the Criterion is better.


What ever version though, it is a magnificent and chilling film.

I know, but I was trying to imagine the artwork without the ratings logo and what it would look like poster sized in a frame!

Without that ratings logo, i'd be all over these.

If it's the Nouveaux Pictures DVD from 2003, unfortunately it doesn't have an anamorphic picture but, that aside, the image and sound quality are both more than acceptable.

If you haven't seen it before, that's a good start so, when you decide it is a brilliant film (which you should!), I'd have a look for the cheapest Criterion Collection DVD.

Thanks,I didn't buy the Criterion one ,because I'm not a region 1 type I can't wait for this,I really have high expectations and I know I won't be disappointed!

It's more than a few seconds. The R2 release contains 10 minutes not contained in the R1 release. But, strangely, the R2 loses 6 minutes that's seen in the R1. Nevertheless, the fact remains that 10 minutes is missing from the R1. As a consequence just try listening to the commentary that was recorded whilst watching the full uncut version, the commentary goes way out of synch, as you can imagine!
