A lot of details remain unclear about this release, though it did appear around the time of the American Vestron release. It is, of course, longer than that version, including more of the disembowlment scene. It is more valuable than the Vestron release, since it is extremely hard to get hold of, hence the lack of substantial details. It has been on auction at Ebay in the past, though you are hardly likely to pick it up at any collector's video store.

A must-buy edition of the film, if you are lucky enough to find it on sale in this country, or America for that matter.
Picture

Like other editions of the film around this time, the picture quality is probably very poor, especially since it is a rapidly ageing release. I wouldn't be surprised if the picture quality shared resemblances to the Vestron release, as well as it's aspect ratio.

Sound

This would no doubt appear in stereo, though the specifications of the release are extremely unclear. It is perhaps more likely that the sound appears in mono, which has been used for the soundtrack on more current editions of the film. The quality and clearness of the soundtrack would no doubt be poor by today's standards.

Overall

An ultra-valuable collector's item for die-hard fans of the film. As far as watching the film, this video probably has none of the quality of other editions. New followers of the movie should, of course, purchase the recent copies.
