The Official Kino Cult Thread

Has anyone compared I, Madman to the old release?

Turns out The release of The Vengeance of Dr. Mabuse is NOT the director's cut:

It will be the re-edited German version which cuts a reel of Franco's original footage and replaces it with footage shot by another director hired by producer Artur Brauner, who hated Franco's cut.

Basically another (along with the Nachy film Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror) Kino Cult release that does NOT include the original version.

Franco made a bunch of films as a package for Artur Brauner. Same as he did for Adrian Hoven, Robert de Nesle etc. The German versions are the official ones as the producer had the final say on them, and not all of the films had a Spanish version - and in some cases the Spanish versions, such as VAMPYROS LESBOS, were heavily cut of nudity and violence.

So it's pointless being angry over this.

Kino's announcement last Saturday of Dan Curtis' Late-Night Mysteries is one of the titles I've been most excited about in the last few months. Will be checking out each of the four productions.

Jess Franco's Death Packs a Suitcase (Der Todesrächer von Soho) (1972) will be Kino Cult #38, releasing on October 14th.

I wonder if this release of Frightmare will have any extras that the 88 Films release doesn't.
