OVERALL: Draw

Between the US, German, and Italian releases for the audio commentary & other extras. Note the German release includes the missing footage as an extra.

There two versions of this film:

(1.) Hammer’s original UK version (91 minutes).
(2.) The AIP US cut (88 minutes).

The uncut version was restored in 2003 by MGM and all DVD and Blu-ray versions with the exception of the UK R0 DVD version are based on this restoration. It is missing a few seconds from the pre-credits sequence which are apparently present on the German BD (91:36). If you have this disc please let us have the specifications via the forum.

CUTS:

• R0 Australia- Shock Entertainment - Yes - 2003 restoration.
• R0 United Kingdom- ILC Prime - Yes - Around the 29:47 mark, this version cuts to an alternate take/angle of Madeline Smith holding up a towel, losing a very brief frontal shot of Ingrid Pitt climbing out of a bathtub (87:22 PAL)
• R1 Midnite Movies Double Feature America- MGM Home Entertainment - Yes - 2003 restoration (91:17 NTSC)
