this film is hilarious. for anyone who enjoys the mst3k/ed wood/the room side of lore / humor.

everyone is very forthcoming. its laugh out loud funny. and sad.

the idea of the director pulling an apocalypse now and going into hiding as an extra is incredible.

for those interested in other interviews regarding this movie, Ron Perlman just did a WTF with Marc Maron and towards the end he has some pretty good zingers about the production.

Late period Brando just didn't give a shit.

Val Kilmer wasn't liked by anyone too but Brando got away with everything.

There's an argument to be made that post-Godfather Brando just didn't give a shit. And all the better for it.

Never heard of this, but have the movie on BD and quite enjoyed it.

Might check this out, is it ltd or anything to require a day/week one purchase?

I recommend it the problems behind the making of this are more famous than the movie here is a trailer for you.

Brilliant doc. I have the iTunes version, but those extras are too tempting.

Looks like they were planning a limited version as HMV illustrate this with a stock image stating "3 disc special edition" yet the specs state 1 disc.

However as everyone's listing this as 1 disc and the Nucleus website makes no mention of any special edition it's probably safe to presume we're getting standard edition only.

I'll pick this up for sure. I watched it a while back on Netflix (back in the good old DNS days)

I was fooled by the HMV page.

£10.99 for a 3 disc edition!

But that's the cover of Severin Films' 3 disc "House of Pain" edition:

Just checked it out.

The silent Island of Dr.Moreau looks at the very least interesting, while the additional Richard Stanley interview footage could be worthwhile. However the H.G. Well documentary looks too short to be much more than a puff piece and I doubt I'd ever bother with the talking book CD.

As such, while kudos to Severin for compiling a proper varied special edition I'll save £5 and stick with the Nucleus edition.

This is a brilliant doc; I didn't find it funny particularly, outside of the anecdotes that were supposed to be funny, just sort of sad that Stanley imploded the way he did and that he could've gone on to make some really interesting films, but got hollowed out by dealing with studio filmmaking. It's not hard to see why he got the boot, though, he really imploded. Without doing too much half-arsed armchair psychoanalysis, Stanley comes across as being somewhat slightly on the spectrum, so it's not hard to see why dealing with circumlocutory studio sharks would frazzle his circuits.

I imported the Severin Films' 3 disc "House of Pain" edition and I can confirm that it's a truly great set.
Good to see this getting a UK release as it's a fascinating documentary and anything that helps get Richard Stanley's work more exposure is fine by me.

I watched this great documentary tonight, I had prepared by watching the actual film itself yesterday and listened to the How Did This Get Made podcast about the film. So I was prepared but the documentary didn’t disappoint.

One thing, David Thewlis wasn’t even mentioned and I’d sure would’ve liked to hear from him or his co-stars on the process when he replaced Rob Morrow.

Was searching for Severin LE but got this one today, great disc and cheap price.
