I saw the film in the early 90's when VIPCO rose Lazurus-like from the the dead and began re-issuing some old classics. The BBFC sanctioned 18-rated Zombie Flesh Eaters because somewhat infamous for all the wrong reasons when VIPCO touted it as the uncut theatrical version, which if one read between the lines meant that BBFC has not further cut the version they originally cut for it's UK theatrical run. Thankfully, and this is the crucial point - the removal of most of the splatter did not make the film any less brilliant. It was my first Italian Horror film and what a beginnng ! A few years later I finally saw the uncut version and realized that the VIPCO re-issue had completely removed the pre-credit sequence !
