Sadly, while Cult Porn's intentions are honourable, not only have the
BBFC cut 82 seconds
from the submitted version, so many of the sex scenes have been distorted so
that they fit to the BBFC's requirements that disallow the showing of
penetration, erections about a 45o angle or any close-ups that
might make the film worth watching. By distortion, I mean that the images
have been divided up pop-video-style so that anything interesting just gets
cut off the edge of the screen. The results can be seen in the pictures
contained within this review.
Presented in fullscreen, the picture is nothing to shout about whatsoever.
Fuzzy, out-of-focus at times and chopped up as previously described it makes
the film pretty much unwatchable. The average bitrate is a good and steady
6.1Mb/s and if you have a widescreen TV and want to zoom in on the picture,
don't let me stop you.
The sound quality is standard '70s fare and is a bit on the muffled side so
is basically exactly what you'd expect from a film of this nature.
Extras :
Chapters and Trailers :
There are 16 chapters to the 51-minute film which is very good, plus clips
from Deep Throat, The Devil in Miss Jones and Night Dreams in the
trailers section.
Languages & Subtitles :
English dialogue only with no subtitles.
And there's more... :
What the film lacks in content it certainly tries to make up with in extras.
There's a five-minute Interview with adult film "expert" David Flint
who talks about the three films mentioned above and he also lends his weight
to the Audio Commentary track.
The section marked Original Movie Soundtrack with Stills Gallery
lasts nearly seven minutes and shows a number of pictures from the film put
to an endless piece of music from the film. It's played out a total of
four-and-a-half times in case the clips didn't gel first time round.
There's also a number of Hidden "Hotspots" dotted around the disc
somewhere but I didn't find them. Apparently they lead to text info.
Menu :
While the menus are static, they contain music from the soundtrack and look
very good with options to start the film with or without commentary, select a
scene or check out the extras.
Overall, this disc cannot be recommended unless you like unintentional laughs.
While Visual Entertainment have done a good job in getting the extras together,
the whole package is let down by forces outside their control, most notably
the way in which the film has been censored which is a shame.
