I still think that putting Deep River Savages out is a wasted opportunity when there's other great classics out there like Absurd and Beyond The Darkness. And both would probably sail through the BBFC nowadays.

I agree! Especially when it will be coming out uncut from Raro soon enough.

Not condoning the animal violence at all, but i'll always buy the uncut version if one is available. |

We were not at all being "alienating and insinuating, crass, juvenile" (and comments like this make us wonder why we bother) by stating, quite correctly, that this material alienates many viewers and comfirming that those who do wish to see it should, and will have to, look elsewhere. As for the director's 'integral vision' - a film goes through editors, producers and distributors before it ever sees the light of day. Lenzi regrets these sequences and many of the cast and crew of these films wish they were not in there. What is the 'integral vision'? Hard to know. Try asking George Lucas |

We totally respect that and all we were trying to do was affirm that our release cannot contain some of the animal sequences because of the mandatory BBFC approval. Thanks!

Fair enough. But like i said, there's loads of other great italian horrors you could have chosen instead of Deep River Savages. And until there's a change of BBFC policy, i don't see the point of releasing these titles when they're readily available uncut throughout the rest of europe and America. I appreciate that some people don't want the animal violence, but at the end of the day these are niche titles which most collectors want uncut.

You did alienate a chap by replying and insinuating that he "needed" to see the animal violence to enjoy the movie. In doing so it was a crass attempt to make him out to be a degenerate who got enjoyment from animals suffering. That indeed is a juvenile argument deflection at best. But....perhaps I miss-interpreted your reply being a touchy bugger, myself. As for the directors integral vision, the film had been through editors, producers and distributors to be the version that most of us have seen already. I appreciate you might perceive that I'm having a go at you but I applaud your efforts and wish you all the best, I have some and will buy the rest of your Slasher and Italian ranges (and Post Apocalypse....??) including the Man From Deep River but Crimson Blade summed it up perfectly for me, why put out cut material- and stuff you know will never pass the BBFC - when there is a wealth of other options? Cough-Absurd-Cough! Apologies if I make you wonder why you bother. |

To be honest I didn't expect a response from 88 themselves.... |
