No, it was their own decision. IT ALWAYS IS! Stupid labels.

It's hardly ever the labels decision, they'll have been told to do it. If it was their decision they would have locked everything and they haven't.

Why sometimes? You think labels lock stuff on purpose so they won't make as much money?

Distributors can only release films to which they have access, whether bought or rented, from a licensor who will dictate terms – including the locality (or localities) in which the film will be distributed.

From Redemption's FB page:

Look, before you ask... because I know you're going to ask... what about the THIRD versions of FEMALE VAMPIRE and EXORCISM? You know, the ones with explicit footage? We are working on a way to make them available to our loyal fans. Chances are, they'll be DVD only (because of the cost as well as the content-restriction that comes with Blu-ray authoring and manufacturing), and they'll most likely be available exclusively through Redemption/Kino Lorber (since Amazon and the major retail chains won't carry films with hardcore content).

Expect an announcement toward the end of the year. We are committed to making the films available to you in their uncensored forms... and hope that you appreciate the challenges of doing so within the North American marketplace. We are working on a solution, since EXORCISM and FEMALE VAMPIRE aren't the only such films... there are at least two Jean Rollin films with similar issues.

Bollocks. That doesn't bode well for the rest of the Bava's, does it ?
