Since last seeing this almost five years ago, I have acquired a wonderful Blu-ray version that includes this and the much maligned re-edit House of Exorcism. At the time of my original review there was no separate listing for the latter film so I had to merge the two pieces. Now all is good I have deleted the original review. So, the first thing about this release is that the problems with sound I originally had are gone and the visuals glow even in those dark H P Lovecraft inspired scenes in woods with mould and broken statues. The wonderful soundtrack is also clear and bright. The film itself is still somewhat problematic and I did feel my eyelids begin to droop at one point, only to be brought back with the absurd but likable over acting of Telly Savalas. Basically, this is a little short on coherent narrative flow whilst the spouting of the lady of the house and her son suggest something going on of which we are not aware. So, unfortunately, whilst everything looks and sounds great, we flounder before the seeming significant tale unfolding, which can be off putting. Ironically, the oft hated re-edit, if a little heavy handed puts right some of these omissions.
