Yep... there's obviously a longer version of the film in Paramount's vault (or perhaps all the trims have been destroyed) but I can't imagine Michael Mann delivering a 3 hour cut of a Horror film especially something as out there as
The Keep. I read the book recently and there's a lot of good stuff in there. Most interestingly is the character of Mosalar - in the film he's depicted as a slightly silly demonic muscle man, while in the book, he's an associate of Vlad the Impaler and dresses accordingly...
