    OVERALL: R1

    is the clear winner.

    CUTS:

    • R0 United Kingdom- ILC Prime - No cuts - This seems to be the "UK theatrical version" (87 min - PAL). It has the "red tinting over the precredits decapitation" (Thank you for the Rewind user Dobrien for this info). Please also see the info about the R1.
    • R1 America- MGM - No cuts - This is the (almost) fully uncut "UK theatrical version", which restores an often censored frontal shot of a fully nude Ingrid Pitt getting out of a tub (in the R1 she stands up, and youŽll see both front and side naked briefly before she turns away), along with several graphic and essential decapitations and stakings that were cut from the U.S. theatrical print. However, R1 seems to be missing some frames from the "pre credit sequence".
