The dubbing leaves a lot to be desired
I've been waiting a long time for a DVD release of this quintessential Naschy potboiler. Available in various truncated versions on VHS I waited with bated breath as I opened the package and popped it into the DVD player. The film is taken from a rather grainy print but it's not bad. The widescreen treatment clips some of the top and bottom of the film itself. Surprisingly it is the most complete version of the film I have seen-lots of nudity (PG) and all gore intact. The main problem is the dubbing. The entire soundtrack sync is off just enough to be noticeable and the English speaking actors sound like the cast of a small town community theater group. There was no attempt to remotely sync up the dialogue with what is happening on the screen. Add to this a threadbare plot and you've got 83 minutes of pure Euro trash. I didn't say it's not enjoyable but beware. The quality and care of the DVD prep work done on the recent Naschy "Werewolf Daninsky" series is miles above this release.
