This video nasty has been posted before as a VHS rip. The quality of this DVDrip is better, but it's a VHS to DVD transfer not so very well done. Apart from the difference in quality, the VHS rip misses the epilogue of about 4 minutes, which is included in this rip. So actually, this is the first time this video nasty is released properly uncut!

What a shitty source

Yup, I have used a heavy noise filter plus some degraining stuff. And still you can see the source is very shitty. This should have gone to Blue Underground for transferring, not to Substance :matrix:

Might have got away with adding some sharpening last to clear it up slightly but good work anyway

Someone still needs to explain me all that (sharpening). :lol:

Might be the heavy denoise filter that caused the blurry picture.

Is the 8 pixel wide brighter area on the right side of the screenshots because of the bad source quality? I would have cropped that too.

I thought that's Pierce Brosnan on the second picture, but I was wrong. :mrgreen:

No, believe me, the DVD itself is blurry. I think it's even blurrier than this rip.

Yes, that's the side of the film used to make this movie. It's on the DVD as well. I didn't crop it, because I wanted this nasty to be as complete as possible. There are even wider black bars with a curved border on the DVD which I did crop, as I saw no point in having you guys watch some extra blackness on both sides.

The only actor with some sort of fame is John Amplas, who also starred in "Martin".

edited filmposter into first post, thanks Macabria :beerchug:

Thanks Slayer, I can't believe I missed this. I think this was the last nasty that we didn't have in its longest version, other than Last House on the Left of course, which no longer exists.

Any of you guys already complete? When I came home this afternoon from work, I found out that my internet connection had been lost. After getting it fixed, I have been uploading like before, but only got 1 request for House of Blood and zero for this one. The mule said this had 6 FS before I got disconnected, and it says there's only 1 FS now (me). This can mean two things: everyone has it completed by now and nobody wants it anymore, or everyone decided altogether to cancel this and unshare it. Hence the question: any of you guys already complete?

BadBugs

I have it complete, thanks again :mrgreen:
