What's the best DVD version?? - Mil gritos tiene la noche (1983) Discussion

[–] JefferyLeininger 19 years ago

diamond version is edited...only shows one arm cut off in the elevator, not two. also one nudity scene slightly edited. picture quality is horrible as well. don't know much about other release but probably better if uncut.

I understand that their all pretty much censored... im just wondering which DVD release has the better picture quality, essentially.

I used to own the Diamond release I believe... the cover was similar to the poster, and was red.

This is another one of those classic horror flicks that desperately needs a decent DVD release.

I watched this movie many years ago while i was in high school. It was being shown at the birthday party of a girl i was friends with at the time. I barely recall most of the movie other than it was dubbed poorly into english and should've been subtitled instead. If a good DVD version ever comes out with subtitles and not the terrible dubbing i'd want to see it again.

Part of Pieces' charm is the horrible dubbing, too me it just wouldn't be the same subtitled.

There is a version of Pieces on a Three DVD box-set called "Cult Horror Collection" aswell... I don't know if the version is uncut or not, but it seem pretty gory to me... playtime is 1hr25min...

the quality isn't the best, but the price is low and one gets eight other movies aswell...

the others being:

Don't Look in the basement (1973)
Memorial Valley Massacre (1988)
Kill Baby Kill (by Mario Bava) (1966)
The Demon (1976)
The Hatchet Murders (which is Dario Argentos Deep Red actually...) (1975)
Silent Night, Bloody Night ((1973)
Night of Bloody Horror (1974)
Horror Rises From The Tomb (1972)

I found that set too at a video store and when I saw Pieces there I had to buy it. needless to say I was stunned to find it was the uncensored version and I knew it was because when I was younger, I borrowed my aunt's VHS copy of the movie and in the scene where Mary Riggs finds the tennis player, it always cut to a look of horror. in the DVD it shows what she saw: the top half of the tennis girl. EEEEEWWWW!!

needless to say, it was so worth my 7 bucks plus other rare titles too.

Grindhouse is releasing a new version. Save your money. It will be packed with extras and remastered.

yepperz, I own the Diamond, St. Clair, and Cult Horror Collection dvds and they are all the same crappy, dark transfer. I guess they are all edited, but i would never be able to tell unless i read it. this movie is plenty gory.

I would reccomend the Cult Horror Collection just because it isn't much more expensive than the single dvds and has some great flicks to switch over to like Deep Red and Silent Night Bloody Night.

I was at Best Buy yesterday and I found a "Bloodbath" DVD collection of 4 1980's cult exploitation flicks, and among them was Pieces. There aren't any features or anything, but if you just want the DVD, it works.

There's a UK release of this that i picked up for 99p which is more uncut than the Japanese laser disc version i used to have AND it's widescreen. I'm about 99% sure it's uncut and the picture quality is really impressive. The best I've ever seen it to be truthful.

[–] hatr 18 years ago

I have that collection too and sadly Pieces is cut to, ummm, pieces and the transfer looks like it came directly from an old VHS
Bring on a special edition

The best DVD version available is the German DVD. It features remastered sound and a very good widescreen transfer. Just imagine the scene with the girl's head getting chopped off, in the fullscreen DVD version the right side of the frame is cut off past the nub but in the widescreen version you see the blood stub and MORE. Seeing as how this copy is very hard to get ahold of, I would be more than happy to make copies.

Look forward to a proper DVD `special edition' release of this title

I just bought a Dvd with Pieces and "13 other hours" of cult horror classics from my local Rogers Video store ( in Winnipeg , Manitoba , Canada ) for only ten dollars canadian. Some of the other films on it are "Terror Rises from the tomb" and "Silent Night, Deadly Night". Thats gotta be the best for your buck.

I dont know what this last guy was talking about. Pieces is an awesome movie. I thought I heard something about a special edition coming out.

reply

[–] hatr 17 years ago

The 13-movie cult collection is terrible quality, direct from a video i think and not a good transfer either.
On HMV.com it is advertising a collector's edition on St Clair Vision. Is this new and does anyone know if it is decent quality and what are the extras?
thanks
