From Melon Farmers:

"Symptoms is a 1974 UK / Belgium horror by José Ramón Larraz (as Joseph Larraz).
Starring Angela Pleasence, Peter Vaughan and Lorna Heilbron

UK: Passed 15 uncut for strong violence for:

2016 BFI R2 DVD/RB Blu-ray Combo at UK Amazon released on 18th April 2016

There are no censorship issues with this release

Promotional Material

The official British Palme d'Or entry at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival, Symptoms is a sophisticated modern gothic horror film exploring the themes of sexual repression and psychosis.

Larraz's dark and stylish film tells of a young woman (Lorna Heilbron) who is invited by her girlfriend (Angela Pleasence) to stay at her remote English country mansion. Events take a disturbing turn when a menacing groundkeeper (Peter Vaughan) interrupts their time together, and a woman's body is found in the mansion's lake.

Other than a limited theatrical release and a late-night screening on British television in the early 80s, Larraz's film has slipped into obscurity, and the original negative was long thought lost, assuring it a place in the BFI's 'Most Wanted' list. Following the rediscovery of the original negatives in 2014, the dark delights of Symptoms can finally be experienced again in this new restoration, undertaken by the Belgian Cinematek.

It's a BFI release, so it went into the 'BFI Blu-Ray and DVD Release Thread'

It is also a duel release, so I thought it should be posted in both the 'upcoming Blu-Ray' and 'Upcoming DVD' threads

Mind you, I haven't seen the film, so is it a Giallo? Could it have gone in that thread as well?

It's not a giallo, no.

I read an interview the other day with Gary Oldman from about 15 years ago. In it he said the BBC cut a scene where Bexxi rapes his wife. I wonder what else is missing?

Will definitely be picking up Symptoms.
Have always wanted to see more of Angela Pleasence after her great performance in From Beyond The Grave.
And it's uncanny how much she looks like her late father.
