Wonder if things like Best Seller are on the cards?

Due to their connection with Full Moon, hopefully 88 will release this one over here too.

As illustrated by me taking delivery of a package from them containing Criminal Law, The Dead Next Door and Retroactive (I've ordered Sahara and Messenger of Death from Amazon), their output is nothing if not varied!

Don't quote me but i'm pretty sure Love Letters is cut in the UK and still will be.

You're right about it being cut due to the BBFC's 'ILOOLI' rule, pushing some of the content into the R18 category and possibly an issue with underage nudity. I saw the UK DVD many years ago and wondered whether such close-ups were really essential to the story! I can't remember much about it except it seemed a religious variation on the likes of Barbed Wire Dolls, Sexy Sisters or Blue Rita.

Something like 7 mins cut i think. Due to the age of the actress. All the torture scenes are missing.

It's a fairly boring film anyway, it would be pointless to release it over here.

It's "inner labia out, outer labia in" (or something similar), meaning there is only so deep a camera can go in - you cannot show the inner labia, but the outer labia is acceptable

Eew. Thanks for the, er, elucidation!
