I consider myself lucky enough to have caught a very rare TV airing of this film many years back as it's nigh on impossible to buy anywhere and despite it's imagery I too found it a fascinating watch and much more intelligent than I was lead to believe.
I have been waiting diligently for an uncut DVD release of this ever since DVD appeared. Russel's Lair Of The White Worm has never been released over here either and although it is schlocky B Horror. It is CLASSY schlocky B Horror!
