There are several versions of the film doing the rounds though...

Indeed. I'm pretty sure the UK DVD (Asylum Erotica) is cut.

Yeah, it's the pre-cut 86 minute version

It's cut for sex only I think and is presented fullscreen.
I personally own the UK dvd,Raro dvd and French dvd (both differ),the US dvd offers even another version.

I've only ever seen the US and Italian versions. I prefer the Italian version, but I'm sure with this release being a US one and having the US name of 'Slaughter Hotel' attached to it, the release will comprise of the US cut.

Although, they may include the Italian version too (we can but hope!). If not I still have my Italian DVD.

What's the difference with the French version, b?

I don't think the US dvd offered the US cut?

Been a while but I remember the longer "flower walk" in the French one.

I've never owned or seen the US DVD, so am unsure about that... although I assumed that the US DVD would of had the US cut.

According to dvdrewind:

"R0 Italy- Raro Video/Nocturno - Long European version with extended nudity scenes and "close-up" inserts — the latter give rise to continuity glitches (clothed vs unclothed) on returning to the mainstream film. Body doubles were likely/definitely used here, e.g. the one for Rosalba Neri does not share her birthmark/scar. But, it´s still missing, at the 34:16 mark, the entire explicit love-making scene between Rosalba Neri and the gardener. This footage is contained in the US Shriek Show disc. Another missing scene is the kiss between actresses Monica Stroebel and Jane Garret. However, the greenhouse sequence from when Rosalba enters the greenhouse is cut. It is more complete in the out of print "Gorgon" VHS-tape.
R1 America- Shriek Show/Media Blasters - Long European version with extended nudity scenes and "close-up" inserts — the latter give rise to continuity glitches (clothed vs unclothed) on returning to the mainstream film. Body doubles were likely/definitely used here, e.g. the one for Rosalba Neri does not share her birthmark/scar. Note also that the love-making scene between Rosalba Neri and the gardener is intact (it´s missing from the Italian release), but it´s not the "explicit version" of that scene — it still removes the lower frontal nudity (95:56 NTSC)."

There also seems to be an audio glitch/repeat in the US dvd.
