OVERALL: Draw

The Wicked-Vision edition is the most comprehensive, although you must have a Blu-ray player since some of the extras are only on the Blu-ray discs in combo.

This film has multiple versions:
- UK theatrical release which is also the director's cut (86 minutes).
- The export version which has some alternate scenes of nudity (86 minutes).
- The US release retitled "The Conquerer Worm" which is the same as the UK version except for the title and a Poe quote text screen.
