Yeah, I've often wondered why they did that whenever I read up on the BBFC's treatment of the Cannibal films

Maybe they thought the distributors made a stupid decision and they were cutting enough without depriving British viewers of nearly an additional two minutes. Just under four minutes is bad enough, six is even worse.

Killer Barbys was £1

Killer Barbys is a forthcoming release from Screenbounds Black House label.

Vampire Killer Barbys is the worst Franco film i've ever bought. It's nothing like the Franco films we know and love. One of his latter day output when everything was done on the tiniest budget.

Ahh ach well, it was only a quid. I'll watch it anyway. I've never used that website before, I normally do any checking on BBFC, but that one looks better. Thanks!

Lol, aye it doesn't look the best. I've never really seen any of Jess Franco's work TBH. I see his name and recognised it from Screenbound, so I thought it check it out for a quid rather than potentially being tempted by the newer release for 8 quid!

It's a great website. Plenty of information and generally guides you in the way of what particular release will suit your wants and needs.

Good point. If you like it, then you may want to upgrade to a different release and keep it as a backup, or sell it for pennies/give it to charity. On the other hand, if you don't like it, consider it a learning experience without wasting much cash and keep/sell/give away the DVD.

I have to be honest i keep meaning to buy it again. Places like Music Magpie have it very cheap. I got rid of it before i became a proper fan of Jess Franco in the very early 2000's. Think it was from Blockbuster originally.

I feel i should own it just because it's Jess Franco. I won't be getting the Screenbound release i know that for sure.

Two wee Toxic Crusaders pin badges from eBay. Both brand new, the logo one was still in its wee bag when it arrived.
