US version?

I've only seen an out-of-print VHS.

Thanks 'dubrobot'! for alerting us to the prism disc. I just received a copy ( UK region 2 pal) today and although it is a basic disc, it is widescreen 1.66:1 and fairly good sound and print transfer. Obscure, but personal favourite little film for me. The "shout" scene out in the dunes is still a visceral gem! Recommended.

i saw a brief mention of the new dvd in the Guardian.

are the extras any good?

Extras are listed here, if you're still interested. The best ones are the commentary (although Kim Newman's presence on almost every commentary of genre films released by Network becomes grating, however, Stephen Jones is always illuminating). There's also a nice Programme Booklet. Well worth it. The Prism release sucks.

It's coming on TCM late at night with another of the director's film, Deep End, in a few weeks.

Very unusual film...
