Of the official 39 nasties:-

Absurd (aka Horrible) - coming from MYA uncut but non-anamorphic
Anthropophagus The Beast - US Shriek Show uncut
Axe - US Something Weird uncut (1.33:1) / UK ILC uncut (1.33:1)
The Beast in Heat (aka SS Hell Camp) - US Shriek Show uncut
Blood Bath (aka Bay of Blood/Twitch of the Death Nerve) - Most versions uncut but have sound issues, best version seems to be Scandinavian AWE release
Blood Feast - US Image (Something Weird) uncut (1.33:1)/ UK release on Tartan is cut and best avoided
Blood Rites (aka The Ghastly Ones) - US Image (Something Weird) uncut (1.33:1)
Bloody Moon - US/UK Severin uncut
The Burning - US MGM uncut
Cannibal Apocalypse - US Image uncut / UK release on Cinema Club is cut and best avoided
Cannibal Ferox - US Grindhouse uncut / Austria Sazuma and Scandinavian AWE are uncut and seem to have best transfer
Cannibal Holocaust - US Grindhouse missing few seconds of 'Road To Hell' sequence / Dutch EC Ultrabit and Scandinavian AWE are totally uncut with full 'Road To Hell' sequence
The Cannibal Man - US Blue Underground uncut
Devil Hunter - US/UK Severin uncut
Don’t Go in the Woods… Alone! - US Code Red uncut (1.33:1) / UK Film 2000 uncut (1.33:1)
The Driller Killer - US Cult Epics uncut but non-anamorphic / French Opening/GCTHV uncut and anamorphic
Evilspeak - UK Anchor Bay uncut, 2-Disc version has additional extended cut
Expose (aka The House on Straw Hill) - Couple of cut UK releases taken from VHS but Severin is version to wait for
Faces of Death - US Gorgon Video uncut (1.33:1)
Fight For Your Life - US Blue Underground uncut
Flesh For Frankenstein (aka Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein) - US Image uncut / UK Tartan uncut
Forest of Fear (aka Toxic Zombies/Bloodeaters) - German Retrofilms (OOP?) uncut. This could do with a decent release.
Gestapo’s Last Orgy - US Exploitation Digital uncut
The House by the Cemetery - US Blue Underground uncut / UK Arrow uncut
House on the Edge of the Park - US Shriek Show uncut
Island of Death - US Image release uncut (1.33:1)
I Spit on Your Grave - US Elite Entertainment Millennium Edition uncut / UK releases are cut and best avoided
The Last House on the Left - UK Metrodome Ultimate Edition uncut / US MGM uncut. Both versions have different extras - both are worth picking up
Love Camp 7 - UK DVD Classics uncut (1.33:1) - Taken from VHS. This could do with a decent release.
Madhouse - US Dark Sky uncut / UK Film 2000 uncut but non-anamorphic and with awful sound level
Mardi Gras Massacre - No release yet. This could do with a decent release.
Night of the Bloody Apes - US Image (Something Weird) uncut (1.33:1) / UK Film 2000 uncut. US version has great extras.
Night of the Demon - No release yet. This could do with a decent release.
Nightmares in a Damaged Brain (aka Nightmare) - Coming from Code Red, don't hold your breath!
Snuff - US Blue Underground uncut (1.33:1)
SS Experiment Camp - US Media Blasters uncut / UK Blackhorse uncut but shoddy and best avoided.
Tenebrae - US Anchor Bay missing few unimportant seconds / Holland A-Film and Scandinavian Star Media Entertainment/Atlantic Film/Future Film are uncut
The Werewolf And The Yeti - Released in Spain but in Spanish only. This could do with a decent release.
Zombie Flesh Eaters - US Media Blasters Shriek Show uncut / UK Anchor Bay uncut. US 2-disc has best extras.

To the best of my knowledge, I have kept this list to the best quality available US/UK releases unless there's a significantly improved release from another country.
I don't profess to have seen every release of these from around the globe so any updates would be welcome.
I've also ignored any Vipco releases as they just generally offend me.

vincenzo 4th July 2009 10:48 PM

Blood Feast - The UK Tartan release is cut (the whipping scene). The Odeon release is uncut.
Night Of The Bloody Apes - The UK Film 2000 is cut (basically everything). The Redemption release is uncut.

The only cut to the UK Cannibal Apocalypse is a very brief (2 sec) shot of a rat on fire during the sewer chase. Not even noticeable.

trench 5th July 2009 01:23 AM

As regards Cannibal Holocaust, I haven't seen the Ultrabit print, but I've yet to see a better transfer than the Dutch Studio 2602 Media Madness release. Blows the original EC and Grindhouse releases away. And it includes the Road to Hell sequence. I can post some uncompressed screenshots if you like, it's awesome. You may be able to pick it up online at freerecordshop.nl. The same label released Man from Deep River and Eaten Alive, both similarly good prints, but I've not compared them to other releases.

That Media Blasters/Shriek Show release of Zombie Flesh Eaters is something else as well. Almost too good.

Angel 5th July 2009 08:07 AM

Interesting that Love Camp 7 was released on DVD here. Needless to say it was an illegal release like the uncut Deep River Savages.

The Dutch Studio 2602 Media Madness, that Trench mentioned , has a great release of FEROX and the artworks pretty cool.

My thanks to Trench for a very cool trade on that. Top guy.

The EC Ultrabit version of Cannibal Holocaust has the best print that I've seen (so far). Plus it is completely uncut and restores the road to hell sequence. The AWE version is also supposed to have a terrific print, and again is completely uncut. I haven't seen the Media Madness release, so cannot compare that with the EC version I have.

I agree with you on Shriek Show's ZFE - an amazing package, and very hard to top IMHO. :cool:
