A highy sought-after release, this has eluded many collector's and is hard to get hold of. It wasn't a massive mainstream release and therefore, wasn't produced on a large scale. It is probably best known for the fact that it included a few extra seconds of the disembowelment that wasn't in other editions, such as the American and Canadian videos. As far as most 'Last House' historians can tell, it included the film's end credits (which was oddly missing from most other European versions). It is speculated that the release is fairly close to the Canadian version of the movie. Not many will have seen this version, and is therefore extremely valuable. A very collectable edition of 'Last House' memorabilia.
Picture

I haven't seen this version, or talked to anyone who has, so I'll have to guess that the picture quality is probably poor. It wasn't a major release, and therefore I can't imagine the transfer being produced in a professional manner. It no doubt resembles other European releases from the period, such as the Belgian video. The usual problem of scratches and blurriness will no doubt appear in this copy too.

Sound

As far as my sources tell me, the sound was presented in mono yet again. Due to the limitations of the shoot, this can never be avoided really, unless proper restoration takes place. The soundtrack of this release would almost certainly be poor, like the picture, and would be muffled for some of the dialogue.

Overall

I can't really drum up a conclusion to this release, but due to the nature of it's small scale production, it is a highly valuable edition to the 'Last House' back catalogue. If you see it for sale, get it. It would be very interesting to see what is intact in this version, and what is cut.
