Notes:5-disc set packaged in a coffin-shaped box.
Satan's Slave and Inseminoid are presented in anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen, Terror is presented in anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen, and Prey is presented in 1.33:1 full screen.
According to the DVD Times review, "Prey" is not a true "open matte" transfer: it has been cropped at the sides, but no important picture information is missing (the Region 1 release is also 4:3). The rumored "Film 77" documentary ("Prey") is missing, since the BBC-TV wanted too much money to license this for the UK (says AB UK).
Comes with an 8-page booklet and a 2-page “Special Features” card. -

OVERALL: Draw
Vinegar Syndrome is uncut, has an anamorpic transfer, substantial extras and has the original mono soundtrack.
But, do note that the Anchor Bay edition - although a cut version - has an exclusive commentary as well as 5.1 and DTS upmixes, a featurette on the bonus disc while the Image and Redemption DVDs have exclusive featurettes.
Kino / Redemption also has unique extras.
Note:
The full version of the film runs 85 minutes at 24 frames per second (also for NTSC formats) which translates to PAL formats as 82 minutes at 25 frames per second. -
CUTS:
- R0 America- Vinegar Syndrome - No cuts (85:09 NTSC)
- R1 America- Redemption Films / Image Entertainment - Yes - :11 missing from a big gore scene.
- R1 America- Redemption Films / Koch Lorber - Yes (77:54 PAL-to-NTSC)
- R2 Double Feature United Kingdom- Odeon Entertainment - Yes - Previous BBFC cuts to the 'eating' scene at the climax have been waived. Also features footage missing from earlier video releases but is still shorter than the full 85 minute version (= 82 minutes at 24fps) (77:43 PAL)
- R2 The Norman J. Warren Collection United Kingdom- Anchor Bay Entertainment - Yes - Previous BBFC cuts to the 'eating' scene at the climax have been waived. Also features footage missing from earlier video releases but is still shorter than the full 85 minute version (= 82 minutes at 24fps) (77:43 PAL)
