I'm hopeful too. Chances are they'll keep their discs region free,but if they don't,they don't. Time will tell.

Female Vampire Blu-ray
According to the Melon Farmers site:

"This release features 2 versions:

US: The Softcore Version is MPAA Unrated for:

US 2012 Redemption [softcore + Erotikill] RA Blu-ray via UK Amazon and at US Amazon released on 16th October 2012
US 2012 Redemption [softcore + Erotikill] R1 DVD at US Amazon released on 16th October 2012

US: The Erotikill horror version is MPAA Unrated for:

US 2012 Redemption [softcore + Erotikill] RA Blu-ray via UK Amazon and at US Amazon released on 16th October 2012
US 2012 Redemption [softcore + Erotikill] R1 DVD at US Amazon released on 16th October 2012

This 74 minute version is missing the erotic elements

Note that there are variances between softcore versions. An article from dvdcompare.net reports on a longer German version with an additional hardcore scene.

There is also a German release of a hardcore version running for ~105:00s which would be ~109:00s in NTSC.

UK Censorship
UK: The Softcore Version was passed 18 after 6:12s of BBFC cuts for:

UK 1994 Redemption VHS

The softcore version has been well hacked by the BBFC but the film is notable because they missed a bit. One of the sex scenes retains about 1s of unsnipped fellatio.

Cut to heavily edit the lesbian/bondage scene
cut to remove shots of female masturbation
cuts to sexual close ups.

UK: The softcore version was passed 18 after 1:51s of BBFC cuts for:

UK 2002 Arrow R2 DVD

The BBFC commented:

Cut required to remove sight of non-consenting woman being stripped and forced to engage in sex with two other women"

I'm not expecting much from the DEMONIAC and FEMALE VAMPIRE BD's since both were shot quickly on the cheapest film stock.

The hardcore version is shite, the inserts totally ruin the film.

It shows, Pete. I've had a quick look at the Female Vampire disc and it's not up to the standards of Redemption's previous releases. Still they obviously did their best with the materials available.

Don't think it's already been mentioned, but Anchor Bay (US) are releasing Silent Night, Deadly Night 1&2 on BD in December in a bouble bill.

I know it sounds like it couldn't fail, but The Incredible Melting Man is one boring, drawn out movie. Rick Baker's effects are spectacular alrite but I couldn't wait for this one to end...

I agree, without Rick Baker's stunning FX the film would be nothing more than a decent cure for insomnia
