Ancor Bay’s Region 1 DVD



Lorna Green (Janine Reynaud) is a night club performer whose simulated snuff act is world renowned. It doesn’t take long before Lorna starts to confuse her stage persona with reality by engulfing herself in a downward spiral of hallucinatory visions that feel all too real. He she gone to far or will she regain the sanity that slowly slips away?
Blue Underground’s anamorphic widescreen release restores the information which had been previously cropped out of the Anchor Bay release. Blue Underground’s transfer besides offering sharper picture also looks more colorful. Side by side the flaws are hard to miss with the better of the two clearly being Blue Underground’s transfer.
Both release come with only one audio option an English dubbed audio track which is presented in a Dolby Digital mono. Once again Blue Underground’s release is the clear winner as it audio mix is nearly flawless and the Anchor Bay audio mix suffers from hiss and mild distortion.
Anchor Bay’s release comes with the following extras a cardboard DVD insert of the films U.S. poster art and a full frame version of the trailer. Blue Underground’s release comes with the following extras a trailer for the film in widescreen, a seven minute interview with Jack Taylor and a twenty two minute interview with Jess Franco.
Finally after countless inferior versions of this film Blue Underground releases a DVD edition that looks and sounds exceptional. The extras are also a nice touch and a welcome addition to this release.
