However, surviving 35mm German and Spanish prints were located, and whilst these have certain inherent print damage, a composite was able to be made which allowed for all the complete film (plot & gore) to be scanned in 2K, cleaned-up and restored as much as possible. Additional colour grading was then carried out by Treasured Films.Treasured Films is proud to present this former Section 3 ‘video nasty’, fully complete and uncut and making its UK Blu-ray debut here as a much treasured special edition!
