SHAM034 - House on the Edge of the Park: The Archive Conversation

[iluvdvds@Cult Labs]

This is just superb news! A great film that rivals The Last House on the Left - it's definetly much more sleazy/disturbing imo. Shameless are going Ruggero mad.

true Demdike, i think at least 5 mins of cuts now compared to Vipco's 11 minute butcher job

Last House on the Left is still not available uncut in the UK because of the BBFC's policy on sexualised violence -- they have problems with the forced urination. However, in light of the advisory board's ruling on Cannibal Holocaust, I hope things have changed in Soho Square and this will get through unscathed.

It's a great decision by Shameless -- the more Deodato, the better!

I didn't realise that -- I just checked the BBFC website and was surprised that both Last House on the Left and Krug and Company had been passed uncut. The BBFC are proving to be quite progressive so there is hope for House on the Edge of the Park following the BBFC's decisions on this and Cannibal Holocaust.

Yeah, its so easy these days with so many re-issues to see how these things slip through un noticed..........the Metrodome dvd set is brilliant, especially with the fearture length Slasher doc, Going To Peices included with it

Its a brilliant set, the Going to Pieces disc is probably my fave documentary, and that includes Nucleus Films Nasties doc.

Absolutely fantastic news - this one is a not-so-guilty pleasure of mine, and if it passes uncut, it's bye bye AWE disc!

Even though this 'borrows' The Last House on the Left's formula (itself borrowing heavily from Bergman's epic The Virgin Spring, of course ), I MUCH prefer THOTEOTP to the original Last House, which I feel is terribly overrated.

Yeah, i love it, The Nasties doc from Nucleus isgood, but i enjoyed the Ban The Sadist Videos from Anchor Bay better.....although Nucleus's other discs in their Nasties set were second to none. I remember the era,andseeing some of those movies as a 4 year old on vhs when my parents got a vcr.......so many memories of the packaging and the controversy!

Nosferatu, if you keep an eye out on Amazon you can pick it up for a fiver sometimes (as i was fortunate to do in October) - its a tenner at the moment.

Ignore the reviews as they are not all for this version.
