OVERALL: Draw

Between the R0 US release (BCI / Deimos) and the AB releases for the anamorphic transfer; (note however that the BCI/Deimos is a PAL-to-NTSC transfer) for the English track and the Subkultur combo for a proper transfer of the integral cut.

GENERAL NOTES:
This has been available in four versions:
- The clothed Spanish theatrical version with the covered take of the sacrifice, two dialogue scenes never dubbed into English, and trims to eroticism and gore (94 minutes 24fps = 90 minutes 25fps). There is also some debate as to whether the two dialogue scenes were actually used in the theatrical cut or just included in the integral cut to be dubbed or repurposed in the creation of the export version;
- The international version with the uncovered sacrifice take, nudity, and gore (86 minutes 24fps = 83 minutes 25fps);
- The US version (83 minutes 24fps = 80 minutes 25fps);
- The Integral cut (95 minutes 24fps = 91 minutes 25fps) provided to German licensor Atlas International; thus it includes covered and uncovered takes of an early sacrifice scene (shown in succession) as well as gore and nudity that would have been censored in Spain (which also explains the existence of the so-called "director's cut" of Amando de Ossorio's TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD that Atlas International also unearthed from their vaults). Both the Spanish and English tracks on the integral version have replaced the opening underscore with lounge music (prints and videotapes of the English export version featured a more atmospheric cue heard later in the film).

Please note there is also a vanilla release available from Anchor Bay UK under their 'Horror Classics' label.
