OVERALL: Draw
Both feature exclusive extras but only the Mondo Macabro edition is fully English-friendly.
General Note:
The director is dissatisfied with full Spanish dub because it translates everything into Spanish and makes hash of the language barrier aspect of the film.
Also known as:
- "Island of Death"
- "The Hex Massacre"
- "Death is Child's Play"
- "Trapped"
-
