Jess Franco Blu-ray

[Dark Horse 77]

I'm trying to get some clarification which version this actually is, but odds on it's the same old Eurocine version that keeps getting recycled every few years.

Nice. Let us know what you find out.

Very cool. This is the original version of Revenge In The House of Usher that was put out some years, am I right?

Coming to DVD and Blu-ray July 7th from Kino Lorber and Redemption Films!
Neurosis (aka Revenge in the House of Usher, 1985)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]24864[/ATTACH]

Written and directed by Jess Franco
Starring Antonio Mayans, Howard Vernon and Lina Romay
In an audacious feat of cinematic bricolage, Jess Franco utilized footage from three decades of filming to craft a unique story that pays homage to the morbid poetry of Edgar Allan Poe, while indulging the director's personal obsessions. Antonio Mayans stars as Harker (a nod to Bram Stoker's Dracula), who visits the crumbling castle of his former mentor, Eric Usher (Howard Vernon), now on the brink of mental collapse. Just as the house opens its doors to reveal dreadful, erotic secrets in every corner, Usher delves into his own memories and shares the causes of his increasing madness.
Special features:
*Audio commentary by film historian Tim Lucas
*Theatrical trailer

Interestingly the German VHS release uses the Cecilia title and the Eurocine credits at the beginning, but is in fact the unedited Spanish version: https://ssl.ofdb.de/view.php?page=fa...424&vid=313147

If they can't find a decent uncut print of the Spanish version, they just should delete the two Eurocine flashback scenes (about 8 minutes) from the film and put these in the extras department of the blu-ray. While these two scenes don't change the film very much, they kind of destroy the dreamlike rhythm of it.

I dropped them a note & uploaded the Spanish version to google,
sadly the the only Spanish copy is from VHS,
and the source runs short due to print damage.....missing a fairly key sequence at the end of the first reel.

From Blue Underground's FB page:

"To all the Jess Franco collectors out there: We're trying to locate a copy of the elusive Spanish Version of CECILIA to include on our upcoming Blu-ray release. Please private message us if you have a copy on video you can share. Thank you!"

[fatboyslim142]

Hopefully this includes the ORIGINAL Spanish version & that the subtitles are PROPER ones & NOT dubtitles like the DVD had.

Rushed like dogs, hunted like wolves, burned like devils: in the name of right!

England in the 17th century: George Jeffreys was appointed Supreme Judge by the royal family. And thus the first witch hunter in the country to lead a cruel regiment with the help of his no less sadistic torturers. Political adversaries fall victim to him just as much as young women whom he sends into the flames as witches, especially if they do not want to submit to him. One wrong word and the stake is burning! (2 Blu-rays + 2 bonus DVDs + 1 CD)

None other than Christopher Lee is the title judge in this gorgeous hexploitation classic directed by cult director Jess Franco. "The primitive pseudo-historical story serves as a pretext for wide-ranging torture scenes," says the Catholic Film Service, while the Evangelical Film Observer describes the WITCHENDER as "a horror film with a lot of sadism". Time for an edition that presents the film for the first time in HD and in all published versions.

Bonus material:
trailer; German theatrical version; English export version; Edited scenes; Documentation; Picture Gallery; soundtrack; booklet;

As if news of our first 4K UHD wasn't enough, we also have our next Jess Franco Blu-ray upgrade coming soon!

[Stephen]

Yes, you're right. Will be interesting to see, what this International version is...

The BU of Bloody Judge was a hybrid version - uncut English but with German language inserts.
