Shot on 16mm, and scanned primarily from the original A / B rolls by Arrow, Abel Ferrara's second feature length project is probably more for Ferrara fans, than the general cinephile audience.
Produced on an ultra-low budget, it works for what it is, but in many ways almost appears akin to an advanced student project.
Fans of Mr. Ferrara's work will be thrilled with Arrow's tech work on the release, as well as a plethora of extras.
The film is made available in multiple flavors.
Original longer cut from additional material that survived in the A/B rolls, the as released, theatrical version, and both in 1.37, as well 1.85 ratios.
A first high quality Blu-ray release.
Previously available on DVD, as well as a very special package of nine feature films on a single Blu-ray disc. Those into high quality, may wish to ignore the work performed by Arrow and go with the fce release, which can be found on Amazon as Ultimate Horror Classics. It's a BD-R, to boot. Could be a textbook example of the concept of bit-rate starvation.
