On the back a label says 'Special Edition 1hr version'. 
Even from what i could make out it seemed very bleak but quite interesting and unusual, quite arty in places, would like to see a full version eventually. This is one of those films that some uk label should release in my opinion.  |
"Special One Hour Edition!" I love things like that. If only I had a pair of those 'They Live' shades, then I'd be able to see through to the "We love rubbing the public's face in the diarrhoea of their own vile stupidity. Now cut yer knob off. DUHHHH!" message which obviously isn't intended. Always nice when the product controllers find a slightly less insulting way of patronising us. Makes life inside the death machine seem that little bit more tolerable.
As for Moz... would be great if a UK outfit took it on, although I'm not sure the flashback scenes would get through unscathed. They're really cruel, although not eroticised. I'd have thought 'Mosquito' would make a pretty cool number for Mondo Macabro or some such, but who knows how all the rights issues work out. I'm surprised it hasn't made it on to Blu-Ray in a way, because obviously excellent materials exist, given the image quality obvious even from the stuff on show on eg. Youtube.
