Running time on VHS

I was looking to get REFLECTING SKIN on Ebay. Apparently there is a US domestic release and a Canadian release VHS, but they both appear to be 95 minutes long. Anyone know whether the 115 minute version (released in Ontario theaters, according to IMDB) is available on video, either VHS or non-Region 1 DVD?

Also, I saw this when it was released in 1992. Though it had its flaws, some of its images and ideas and MOODS still endure with me, making it hard to knock off from my ten favorite all-time freak-out films.

There is not a 115-minute version - the film is, and has always been (ignoring PAL speed-up for a moment) 95 minutes long.

Give a thousand monkeys a thousand laptops and they'd all be writing their stupid opinions on IMDB.

Wasn't it released in 1990, not 1992?

Yep, but wasn't released in the US until 1991/2.

Thanks. I was surprised to see a 1990 release date for this film, because it seems I saw it in the "new releases" section of the video store in '93 or '94. From Viggo Mortensen's appearance, though, it seems very early '90s, or even late '80s.
